Louija Highland Motorcyles

If prices are off limits, how about specs? Any teaser images?

Just reading back and I realise there might be some confusion. The bikes offered were not Louija Highland, just other run of the mill scooters and such like.

It was just that comparison to retail in UK that amazed me. Sorry for any confusion.

Highlander make scooters
Do they have Marzocchi and Ohlin suspension

looks pretty exciting with the updated front end

note lower exhausts and mega bash plate

If I read it right Louija have not produced a bike yet. They have may not in fact have produced a complete engine. Also the specs (proposed) they have sent to me (and the ones posted) are inferior in both power and weight to the Swedish example. Looks like we will have to wait until 2009 for a testable motorcycle.

Still my Outback is still running great and far faster than any off road bike has a right to be

I think a lot of Chinese moto industry projects will have to wait until 2009, which is bad for todays news (or lack thereof) but gives us something to look forward to.

If done right, 2009 could be a big year for the C-Moto industry!

Why do we have to wait until 09.

Is it because of the Olympics?

[CrazyCarl]

Partly because of the Oly's but also because apparently none of the manufacturers have the money or interest in opening up direct branches in North America or Europe so many of us will have to wait for importers to sign magic contracts with manufacturers and then make the bikes available at reasonable prices.

REASONABLE PRICES FOLKS!

Updated site link. Something is going on - the performance figures are back to Sweden spec and it looks like there is a new air filter cover in one of the pics. (edit: second look - no it isn't)

Is anyone familiar with the 200cc off roader?

My guess is that they have a prototype, but nothing that is suited for production.

They may be waiting to see what the demand is before they pay to get parts molded.

or

They find a customer that is willing to make a container sized order and they will then take his deposit, order up the parts from their suppliers and make their first run.

I feel sorry for who ever gets that first run.

I could be wrong, but so many companies won't make that initial investment without some kind of guarantee, hence the most common bike here is still the good old cg125.
