BD125-2 "Boomcat"
 

These popped up on Saferwholesale within the last few months in the California approved section.
There is Fairly any plastics on it, and it has a different engine design compared to the Taotao Hellcat.

finally a street bike that isn't a grom clone in CA :clap:

Heres the link to the bike

It rides slightly higher than the other 125 and has a more throaty sounding exhaust.

front fender was shipped tucked under rear wheel.
caused some paint damage on a rolled edge but nothing really terrible.

Cool looking bike. Looks a lot like the Honda CL70 my dad had.

Good looking bike. :tup:

all assembled now

here's some pics of this part I haven't seen before.
Maybe apart of the emissions control?

That is an EGR system that recirculates some of the exhaust gases back into the intake, most of the guys here with the Boom Vaders and other bikes with EGR's usually block it off with a plate, I'm no sure how its done, maybe someone will weigh in.
Looking forward to hearing some ride reports from you!

Looks like a Honda Win .. minus the side panels.. come in 100cc / 120cc...
very popular in Cambodia and Loas...

It looks like the 190 could bolt right up.

Very cool! I believe I essentially have this same bike but in a slightly different configuration. Can you do me a favor and post the numbers off the rear rim and tire? I need to know the rim size and the tire size. Also did you get any information on ordering parts? I may need to order a new rear rim from this bike manufacturer. Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I was wondering how this bike is working out.
Would you recommend it?
Thanks,
John

"I was wondering how this bike is working out.

Me too. Good bit cheaper than a K-Pipe. It will be interesting to hear from somebody that has ridden both.

Tried to start it after 2 days of storage, and have had troubles with the stock PZ20 carburetor since day one.

Today I put a new better quality one on and it not only fixed the fuel flow issue I was experiencing, it gave a significant boost like the other 125 engines.

I have never experienced wheelies on my Hellcat at all. I just assumed it was because of my weight class, and poor knowledge on how it works.
After riding this BD125-2 for a while I know now it loves to wheelie when I take off from stops, even with the stock PZ20 carb! It must be because the riding position is right over the rear wheel.

the metal body is very pleasing to the eye in the sun, up close it has obvious seams showing that it was built with some sort of sub frame with a "decorative" steel outer shell.
It is very light, much lighter than the Hellcat.

with the stock carb I got it comfortably to 55-58 mph
Upgraded carb will push 60+ but it vibrates uncomfortably at very high speeds

the forward facing horn actually gets peoples attention

One big issue I cant fix yet is im riding and the front wheel feels like its going over a bunch of tiny bumps constantly. I haven't ridden much with spoked wheels, should I get them checked out?

front hand brake is able to pull all the way to the bar, probably just needs proper adjusting unless thats normal.

Will drop some pictures tomorrow

If you want a 125 that isn't "sporty" looking in the modern sense I recommend this bike. big + for it being on the CA approved list.
