Anyone bought one of these?

I think this is the same as a Dong Fang model. But, it seems to have an overhead cam egine, rather than a pushrod style as on the DF Bobber models.

This looks like a pretty decent motorcycle, obviously a copy of a Honda Rebel, but with a thumper engine rather than a twin. It appears to be electric start only (too bad). I actually prefer a pushrod engine, but that's mostly because of potential problems with the cam chain tensioner systems. If the Japanese can't get the design of cam chain tensioners down after all these years, then what chance do the Chinese have? If you doubt this, just do some research on, say, the Suzuki DRZ400 series of engines. And the Suzuki Savage/S40. There are others.

Anyway, so far, I haven't found anyone that has bought one.
