Welcome to the forum. That looks identical to my first CB, a HSUN GY-200.

Air in the brakes is common. Theres a recent thread on it if you run into problems bleeding the front caliper.

thanks ill search for it

Welcome!

I think that's a pushrod motor (my personal favourite), but I can't tell unless you can give us a close-up shot of the top of the engine.
