Many questions one post..
Do to my states extreme lienency for registering I am seriously looking at the 200cc and other Choppers available. I posted about that cool 110cc Bobber from Kiker 5150. I just noticed Sigfrid from RCMOTO has a couple real nice looking 200cc rigid low riders on his main page.. www.rcmoto.com amazingly he finally resonded to an E-mail but only once no follow up questions. F.O.B. North Carolina $550 GY6 powered cool looking machines.
Questions: What else is out there for 200cc plus choppers... not the rebel styled ones or Virago but actual customs? Has anyone seen one in person? Will a real live adult fit on one? They claim 330 pound weight capacity but can one be ridden reasonable distances by a normal sized guy? Does anyone live near RCMOTO who may or may not have an actual showroom and could look at one for me? They are located in North Carolina. I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, Aaron |

There is a seller on Ebay, Wildfire is the brand I think, that sell a 200cc similar to that Bobber you showed. Hi-Bird www.hbmusa.us has the same bike, 200cc, if you watch the changing photos on their home page, but they don't list the bike officially, yet. I think they will have this bike out sometime this year.
edit: watch the changing photos--it's called the QH200E.

Wildfire is Junk, no parts, no warranty, just plain Junk!!! They are a Distributor/Dealer here in Ohio. A friend of mine bought one and they can't get him parts for the one he purchased 1.5 years ago {110cc quad}. Then they told him it isn't one of theirs...they didn't have much to say when he told them he picked it up from their warehouse!! OUCH!

I think Hi-bird is on the up and up, from what I see. Tom (RPM) sells them, but he gets them from a distributor rather than directly from HI-Bird USA. I had spoken directly to Hi-Bird USA in Oklahoma, and with their limited English skills, I see why Tom deals with an independent distributor :? They are very difficult to understand, however, I don't think they will try to deny their own product. It is a shame that Wildfire is like that, seeing as that 200cc street bike is very unique and has such potential. Hopefully, Hi-Bird will back up their street bike.

Re: many posts one question
I saw these on sale at a dealer in North Canton, Ohio. The dealer was a Hyosung dealer with lots of scooters and some 1000cc sport bikes. That little johnnypag chopper looked to be built real well. All the welds looked real clean and it was a sharp little bike, well constructed.

Johnny Pag does seem to be the benchmark standard for imported customs. Unfortunately at $3000 +- a bit out of my league for awhile. I know you get what you pay for and his bikes do at least seem big enough for a normal guy to ride. I am not going to the Expo but have friends that are... it will be interesting to see if anything new is coming...
