Interesting, if the rider capacity is '1 person' why the passenger pegs and the 2up seat?

yeah, I saw that.
There are two different sellers on Ebay that have the bike. One says 1 rider, the other doesn't. The one that didn't had a few different quirks, though. At any rate, Hi-Bird doesn't seem to have a website of it's own (or, at least nothing I could find through a Google search, anyway) so I couldn't find out anything else about them. Haven't seen the same bike with any other name on them (Roketa, etc) either. The bike looks like it could be a Honda Nighthawk clone. Lines are similar. Even the seat lines are nearly identical. The only difference would be that the Hi-Bird has a front disc brake. The U.S. Nighthawk had dual drums. At any rate, very nice looking bike. Would like to get a look at one up close. |

Try www.hbmusa.us but I don't think they have updated their website to reflect this bike or their new 250 enduro.

Hmmm the specs say single cylinder, yet I seem to see a second pipe exiting the head on the other side of the bike....interesting.

There are now a few others like this popping up on Ebay.
They are apparently being marketed under the brand names Hi-Bird and Ciello. They all have variations on what they are claiming about the bike with respect to thinks like fuel economy and top speed, but that's typical of Ebay listings. They're all pretty consistent about the single cylinder, despite the fact that they DO have pipes on both sides. I'm guessing it just splits off at the header into two pipes. Not sure if it serves any purpose other than to probably mimic the dual pipes of the Nighthawks. At any rate, I've gotta admit, that bike is pretty sweet looking in blue or yellow... ![]() ![]() |

Interesting...wouldn't make sense to split an exhaust port off of a single exhaust valve. |

250 street bike
I have seen several single cyl bikes set up this way. The thing that interests me is that the engine looks just like the 200 that is in my Roketa dual sport. They could easily be a bored and stroked 200, then put a differnt head on it.
There have been many people looking for a "big bore kit" for the 200's This might be an option for them... although it could be to costly to be worth it. Ken |

I know this is an old thread, but it needs reviving since there still is no solid info for these machines. I have found out though that these are assembled by a number of Chinese companies of different names from loose parts & sold direct to consumers. The parent company seems to be Hi-Bird. I am trying to repair a Komoto named Scooter / Motorcycle, model QH-250II-A. I am looking for body parts for it, namely the battery box. It comes under the GY6 title of applications which covers 50cc through 250cc engines. I have found that the Honda service manual for the CN250 will give all the tech info for this engine that you will need. I found this for free online as a PDF.
