Woods Addict Cycles in Wisconsin. Another poster said good things about the guy and I sent him an email inquiry. He got right back to me. His pricing is in line and shipping to NJ was fair enough. I called him up and spoke about the bikes, he's a really good guy and I'm glad I gave him my business. His name is Kurt.

There is a series of riding videos taken from the helmet cam of a guy on a Hawk 250, with his buddy riding a Lifan. They admitted the videos are boring, but the point was he wanted to show that neither bike, being Chinese, fell apart after hundreds of miles. The guy on the Hawk did mention that it was difficult for him to keep up with the Mini, as I remember his Hawk was pretty much stock. Edit: just watched your video, and you already mentioned the same ones I saw, LOL--I posted before watching...

Someone posted on my video a comment of the only authorized dealer that is allowed to ship the bike. It’s prommising because I’ve seen videos where people got them in a crate.

I think this is true. I was told the bike is fully assembled, tested and ready to rock. I could only find Lifans, SSRs and Benellis at Brick and Morter dealers.

Funny enough, there is a Lifan dealer here in So. Cal. who offers the Mini, but states in their posting for pickup only; the reason I find it odd is the Mini is not street legal for California. I guess, when I first learned of these bikes a year or so ago, American Lifan had a press release of a track day, showing non-street-legal bikes being ridden around a track somewhere in China, I thought Lifan should promote their bikes in such a manner of a low-cost track bike. In other words, Californians could participate, in theory. The ray of hope is that the last time I called American Lifan, they said they are working on a fuel-injected version of the Mini, and are supposedly working on CARB certification. Before assuming this is the dealer, I do suggest calling them to make sure they can mail-order the Mini to you: https://www.redoakcycles.com/
