Hi Trailhopper

Welcome to ChinaRiders!! Did you have a Suzuki MT50? Your best bet to find an American Lifan dealer is to call Shawn at A.L. 1-877-341-2933.

Thanks for the number.I never owned a Mt5o before i grew up with a RM125 and then owned a couple of street bikes then i got into the whole Jeep thing and thats where the Name came from.But the whole china bike scene is looking better and the jeep will have to sit in the driveway on good days with gas hit 3.60 a gallon here i drive 40 miles a day in a lifted cherokee with 33's.she like the gas pump as well as the mud holes.

Your welcome, I asked because Suzuki used to name their bikes way back when. The MT50 was also known as The Trail Hopper 50. Good Luck!

Hey just wanted to hi and to see if they are anymore from the detroit metro area on here.

Not from the area but was up there earlier this week and can attest to the high gas prices. Out here in central PA, I think it is still at or under $3/gallon. Yesterday in Detroit, I paid $3.60/gallon to fill up the rental car with regural unleaded. I about crapped myself.

If I was paying that much for gas, I'd definately get myself a bike or scooter.
