They are shipped directly from China, so there is no risk for the seller, only the buyer. My post is just an fyi and individual circumstances probably will vary (i.e. some making it through)

If inspector gets it , or doesn't . Kinda of a gamble . If it happens to go up for inspection and not on the database and gets rejected, then what happens? Does our government have to destroy? Do they ship it back?

But I can already hit 83 mph (GPS verified) with the stock 197cc, 5 speed engine I wanted to push 100 with that 6 speed

I wonder what happens when a china bike hits 88 miles per hour... probably need a Flux Capacitor for it to go any faster

Funny little man . If I could lose about 60 lbs. and 2 feet in height I might be able to catch up with you. lol

What are the two aluminium screw caps for on the valve cover? They look like the same casting as the oil cleaner cap on the 229cc Zongshen motor.

I'm curious about the head clearance on the frame.

That to access the valves for adjustment. It has a overhead cam. After comparing dimensions between this engine and the Hawk engine it looks like it will be almost a direct bolt up. Looks like close to the same clearance on the head. I'm trying to find more detailed dimensions on it to varify.

Seems to have Smog/air machining on cylinder head. Plus, it has a 15 tooth sprocket, carburetor and CDI.

I saw that. Make me think this is EPA approved. The latest list of EPA approved motorcycles has the Loncin LX250-8 as approved. I wonder if this is the same engine that is on that bike?

I tried to contact them to see if we could import these and I never got a reply.

Dang son, I'm only 5'11" and defiantly not overweight at 180 lbs. Your bones must be made of carbon fiber lol. Tuck? This old body might be able to tuck and roll . BTW I still haven't found a direct coil ignition that will work. Do you have a part number or link to them?

man oh man a hawk with a 6 speed and oem 15/50 sprockets and that 6th gear as an overdrive would be perfect!

Seats...? We don't need seats where we are going! (Just our bathing suits)
