After all you wrote about your issues--keep in mind, it is a Chinese bike after all, LOL Like the Geico commercials--'That's what they do...'
I threw in the SSR bike to show that several Chinese bikes are here or coming. Mysteriously, even after watching the youtube video of one being sold, Sunright told me on the phone that their TMEC 125 won't be available until September :( But it is in the works. Kawasaki and Honda will be the 'real deal' in this segment, but why spend over $3k when you can have a real thrash bike? I imagine there will be some unknown bikes to arrive--heck your bike kind of 'appeared' as I had been watching the TMEC and SSR bikes. I wonder if this market segment stays robust, will CSC import the Zongshen version?

http://www.sunright.net/linhai-scooters/denali-125%20FX Here is the Zongshen version: http://en.zongshenmotor.com/?q=node/895 Also, if you look around the CSC blogs, Joe rode one while he was recently in China and has photos of it, too. The TMEC bike is probably bought as a knock-down kit from Zongshen, but they probably use a semi-auto Zongshen engine rather than a clutch version. TMEC uses the Zongshen 163 FML in their full-size 200 enduro. TMEC are a good company, at least from the perspective of their full-size enduro. However, the Zongshen version allows you to 'be cool, be funny' so is probably the better of the two bikes  ...

"Be cool, be funny"
Yes, Mr. Zongshen, I will!

Not as cool or funny, but far more likely to be available in the US in the next couple months...The TMEC125GY-5

I should have linked to the Chinese site as well as the US distributor, Sunright.

I bet that Rapido would work for csc is LA. They could sell it just under the TT price at some point. Course csc might have to think about building on to their facility.
