Just did a search and came up with this:

its really no wonder ideas like this get scrapped if you look at the legal end with insurance epa dot and then various state laws if you cant go big you cant go :( but it never hurts to look

Yeah, looks like they want a distributor that can shell out 100,000US for a container of 60 bikes for starters and there aren't many dealers around with that kind of capital. Plus the fact that the bike failed to make the EBAY sale at a reasonable price.
The thing that impresses me about the bike is it has a real 250cc powerplant. 4 valves, dry sump and a robust tranny. Plush suspension- i expect you to be able to bottom it out with the brakes locked and a 185 lb rider jumping on it. Good modern square tubing steel frame and all. If you can manage to sell them for 2500US and make a 500 profit lets say. You could justify all the overhead. DOT is a must though!!
