I noticed this morning that Sporter-ish motorcycle. Note the two engines - one Tyan's OHC and another "classic" - balanced CG clone.
By the way, they also have HD WLA-ish bike called "Renagade Commando" - http://umglobal.com/en/index.php/cru..._commando_2013.

Very cute...
In fact, both are.
Yes I did notice the engines, the X-street they sell looks like it has the Tyan 223cc.
The Renegade Sport and Duty look like they are based on the Suzuki GN125 frame, they look they share the frame and engine with the Haojiang Tiger.
The Limited and Commando look very much like the Keeway Superlights.

I like how UM markets the CG125 models in three versions.
Seems to me that if these would be offered with the Tyan 223cc engine they would be very good commuters for the USA, that engine is one of the better engines offered. They could offer three version and could price them at around $2,500.00

The X-street is also being offered in Mexico by Vento for $2,999.00

I personally find these garish and overdone, they are putting a commuter engine in faux sport bike, it be better to tone it down as a standard and simply offer a better engine then typically offered in a CG125 frame.
Wow, I could buy that!Quote:

They coould have used a GS frame and eliminated that rake.

Awesome stuff. There is so much possibilities in free Chinese industry. Trash the "intellectual property" laws and production begins to blossom.Quote:

UM will be offering their new cruiser next year, it can be ordered with either a 279cc, 223cc or 196cc engine.
The model has a bigger wheelbase, basically a full size bike.

The 279cc is a Zongshen engine.
Its really a outraguous and a shame that Harley Davidson copies all these bikes....
