Yes it is true a lot do lie... But the motors aren't actually Yamaha motors, probably copies of, so they are probably slightly different, where is the ad for this bike (quad?)?

Is this like the "85+ mph..." ads on several dealers' sites for the 200cc enduros? LOL

5Star...do you own a Chinese bike? If so, then why??? ALL the Chinese "comps" lie (according to you)!
No American company has EVER lied! Now isn't that right? If you believe that, then politicians must love you, dude. Ever hear of Harley-Davidson? You know..."American Motorcycle". So MANY of their parts are MADE IN CHINA, dude. Take a look in their parts catalog...you'll see. Their forks on just about every single bike has been made in China for YEARS! "American Made"??? THAT'S a lie, dude...and Harley isn't even Chinese.... Oh, btw...the company IS called Hi Bird: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi_Bird |

Yamaha/honda/suzuki and such dont ever lie. They say the trouth. If they have the fastest motor in its class they say it. And that comp im sure ment hybrid they just didnt know how to say or spell it and they still probably do not know that. |

There is a local dealer that has a 200cc version of this bike. it looks to have the counterbalanced engine in it.... It does not have the twin pipes. I posted it already.. He does not have the MSO or title however.. so it would be a PITA to get registered in ohio. The bike looks really nice in person... I especially like the tank...

Hey guys im new here and I, myself is getting started in china bikes, but I seen this thread and my best friend rides one of these hi-birds so I thought I would throw up some pics of it and give it a little review...First I will throw up some eye candy then talk about it a bit...
SIDE FRONT REAR HIM ON IT THE HI-BIRD IN ACTION(DRIVING) Well ok he has had this bike for about 6 months now and it runs great, its bare bone stock no mods or anything and it has no problem cruising with street traffic. I myself or him(to my knowledge) have taken it on the highway yet so I can not really talk to much about that. Over all it is a great bike for the price, and has really good MPG(depends on weight tho). The only problem that I have found is the blinkers make a beeping sound when turned on(I fixed that for him tho) and there is some problem with his exhaust I think cause it used to sound fine but now it sounds like a go-cart or something...its something thats more annoying then a problem but can definitely be fixed. Hoped this helped some what ttyl ~Josh |
