I was pleased to read about the Lifan/Hooper settlement on the China Riders homepage. :)

Good deal.

So from the looks of it he isn't going to be selling lifans anymore right?

I don't know Larry's future plans. However, he is now listing several of his motorcycles as Lifan products.

He always stated they were lifans...

If you look at his bikes for sale that are lifans they all say to contact AMERICAN LIFAN if you want to buy the bike.

It seems they aren't going to let him sell them....

I know Larry used to sell the Lifan 100GY, but he didn't call it a Lifan; he called it the QP100GY.

I checked Hooper's website, and you are correct, Dsrt4. Hooper is directing people to contact American Lifan to purchase the Lifan motorcycles listed on his website. If you read the settlement statement on his home page, it states, "American Lifan welcomes Hooper Imports as an independent distributor of Lifan parts, engines and non-vehicular products...".

Therefore, it does appear that American Lifan is not going to allow Hooper to sell Lifan vehicles. :(
