Funny thing is, I remember seeing the EPA certification for them on the 2016 EPA/DOT list. The certification did not mention Genuine, but was for 'SRM' which is Shineray. Usually, with bikes, a few models that share an engine share the certification, and the two bikes certified last year were the XY400 (the Genuine bike) and the XY400GY which is a dual sport model called the X5, I believe. Don't get excited, because with many companies a long list of models appear which COULD, but don't make it stateside. But seeing that it is Shineray and not the importer, Genuine, gaining certification, another distributor, or Shineray itself could sell the X5 'adventure' bike here.

For comparison, SSR is listed on several models as the 'manufacturer' meaning they paid for certification for several bikes. CSC, not Zongshen, is listed as the manufacturer for the tT250 and the RX3 and the RC3. But, again, Genuine is not mentioned so they could shop their bike around if Genuine does not work out.
