Chinese Bike History in the USA
For those of you who have more experience with these bikes state side, could you please give details on different Chinese bikes that have been offered here in the states, models, their evolution, etc. I am working on a few youtube videos I would like to give a rough history of Chinese bikes in the USA. Credit will be given both to the forum and to users who give input.

I've been around since 2006; If I think about it I could probably bore you with what I can remember! Some of the brands off the top of my head would include Roketa, Shineray, Jetmoto, Lifan ( the GY200-5 model was probably the first EPA/DOT Chinese dual-sport, and probably the equivalent in market share as the Hawk 250 percentage wise, not number of sales).
