I doubt that, because I know how CPI "Astor" looked before he become CCW "Tha Misfit". Thоse are just cosmetic mods to existing motorbikes. There was no substantial changes, just plain fine-tuning.

You will. As soon as someone orders from the factory such bike.

If anyone is interested in an SSR XF250, T-Bolt is offering them for $2,349 delivered. They are 2013 model years.

Here is a five year old article, https://rideapart.com/articles/who-t...scott-colosimo

All the clay mock-ups are cosmetic, the bikes are all based on what is probably a GS125 Suzuki frame.

Here is another group attempting Made in America.

They are using the same 229cc OHV Lifan engine.

Look at the prices!

Nice article, and Scott has some interesting thoughts and ideas:

"Then we started looking at mopeds. No one’s really addressing the moped market, so we have a moped coming out."

We didn't see that moped so far, but still...

"There’s two interesting markets we didn’t think about coming into this; the step-down market and the female market."

Heh, guy surely identified niche for his bike business.

More or less, something like British "The Black Douglas" - some custom made components combined with a lot of low cost Chinese components in an overpriced bike. For sure, they are very interesting, but cruelly expensive. Unfortunately, while such a motorcycle does not come from the factory where a few thousand of these motorcycles will be easily feasible plan for the next month, we, the plebeians, will not come even close to them.

Yes, the Janus are very similar to the Black Douglas. The price of those are even more.

What is the next thing we'll see? Bike with leaf spring or plunger type suspension?

that would help to justify the higher prices.

It seems that there is no separate topic dedicated to "Shandong Pioneer", so I thought that my "finding" is not completely off-topic in this thread.

And so, "Pioneer's" page on "Alibaba" - among classic bikes is also hidden this one, who has not got a name or mark. Wheels are 130/90-15.

Preety cute.

They really should have less photos on their Alibaba site, the Chinese see it as options.

They should have one image set for a specific design and then list options.
Then they should think about offering standard models and selling the options through an online store.

I am not sure about that design, its kind of a mad max style bike and to some it might be a big hit?
