Saw (another) Italika*
Looked just like the 250 Hi-Bird "naked" street bike, but with the name Italika, and Mexican license plate on it.
*I have seen quite a few Italikas of scooters and those plain CB125 Honda-types ridden by Mexican commuters to work on the US side of the border. I think Italika has a hold as the predominant Chinese brand in Mexico, and Mexico is one of those countries that allow near monopolies of industries, so not too many other Chinese makes there. Not that they don't exist, but, not too many. I have only seen Italika there, besides the Japanese brands.
