A friend of mine who knows the guy running American Lifan (the current version) said he visited their So. California headquarters where they have some of the new models coming to the US (the US EPA allows the temporary import of bikes by distributors for trial purposes and they can only remain for a year [don't quote me on exactly one year but I think that is the case] and have to be sent back or destroyed).

Even though their site shows the promising FM 250V, they are not planning to import this bike due to costs/MSRP vs. competitors' prices (i.e. Honda CB300). They are planning to bring the Mini 150 (not shown on their site), the KP200 and KPR200, their XP200 enduro (also not shown on their US site), and a few others. If the Orlando Motorcycle show happens as scheduled, it seems like they will introduce their lineup there, as teased on their site. Apparently they will not continue carrying the Pony 100, but will have the 250 cruiser (Royal 250).
