Where did you order your Hellcat from? Having quite the time trying to find a place that has them in stock.

i think he painted it black.
red, white, and blue ones all over the web.

I know he painted it black I was just asking who he order it from, I've looked at all the major distributors online that ship and can't find any that have the hellcat in stock. They are all waiting on the freight shipment.

You may be able to add them to the cart but I got a call a few days later from FamilyGoKart's saying that there is roughly a 3-week wait. Seems to be the case for a lot of the sellers.

Try craiglist?

I got mine from https://www.wmsbrighton.com
I think most places are sold old out from what i hear, which is a good and bad thing. The place i got mine from only had blue left. I hated blue but i was going to paint any color i got black from the start, so i didn't care. They told me they didn't know when they would get more, but that was a few months ago.

Trumps blocking all shipments from china :( J/k

Member dh linked this to Kronik Racing in Simi Valley, California, for the Boom Vader 'lil duc--2016 models; for some reason the $799 deal is only listed in Las Vegas??

Will these things even remotely keep up with a Grom? Will they wheelie at all? I've been looking for a reasonable alternative to the Grom/Z125s, because they are still going used for like 3k. The Lifan KP mini is what i've been most interested in, as it its 150cc and a 5speed, and claims to have a few more hp. I rather like how they look as well, and Lifan seems to make a pretty decent quality bike.

That pipe looks like a yosh, or at least a yosh knock off. lol Were you able to buy parts for a grom that fit directly or where did you get them? Hell, I'd throw 800 at one just to see, but shipping to KS might be expensive... Bike looks good though! Did that ticking sound start after the head replacement?

That Boom looks just like the SSR Razkull!

lineman55 · 05-12-2018, 08:20 AM

I looked at the Razkull, Lifan Mini and the Benelli TNT135. They are all cool bikes. I ended up buying the Benelli and it should be here next week. It is the most expensive of the three but after I saw how difficult is was to get a Razkull going at the dealer, I'm paying more for the fuel injection. The Benelli also has the most horsepower with a four valve dual spark plug engine. I think they top out a 72 mph bone stock. Also has a 5 speed which the Razkull doesn't. I'll report on the Benelli as soon as I get it on the road. I'm buying it sight unseen. Just internet pics. and youtube vids. Cost of the Benelli was 3g's shipped to NJ. You can get a Razcull well under 2g's and the Lifan is somewhere in the middle. Someone summed it up nicely. Dropping a new Lil Duck doesn't hurt as much as dropping a new Z125. I had an old Harley Iron Head Sportster for many years. I'm kinda through with shit falling apart, vibration and oil leaks. I wanted a bike that was going to be trouble free, brand new and between 2-3 grand that I could run errands on and travel down country roads at my own pace. I might get a full size bike next year if I feel the need to go back on the highways or have a passenger. Good luck in your quest! I recommend Kurt at Woods Addict Cycles in Wisconsin. He's got SSR, Benelli and Lifan. Handled my transaction perfectly and is a family business.

Derekon2s · 05-12-2018, 12:42 PM

Sounds cool, i'd like to see it. I've had my eye on the KP mini for the last 8 months probably. I found a place in texas that'd ship to me in Kansas for 2250 shipped. But I found a used one for like 1800 on facebook marketplace with 400 miles. Thinking about offering him 1500, wouldn't have to pay near as much property taxes either. It has the 5 speed also, and a few more hp. I think it'd be a pretty fun bike.

lineman55 · 05-12-2018, 02:45 PM

The KP Mini is a cool bike. If you could score one locally for $1500 I'd say its a good deal.

Just need to adjust the air/fuel screw a little.
