strange ad.....no mention of the selling point of fuel injection (that I see),...but it does have a 6 speed belt drive cvt engine.

Scrolling to the bottom of that "360 Motorsports" page, I see that it's located in Arlington, TX.
... another "Manny" storefront?

Do you REALLY want to deal with (chase) that character? GOOD LUCK

I believe these bikes are Boom!/Baodiao models. They use the same engines as the full-size Boom!/Baodiao (e.g. cruiser) 250 bikes from Venom and Powersportsmax. Boom! has a couple pictures of the bike on their own site. I had been in contact with Pete from Kronik Racing since he deals with Boom! and their Vaders and he told me how much Boom! were planning on selling them for, and I told him that even with CARB approval and fuel-injection, I couldn't imagine people paying more for them than CSC's TT250, as those are also available for Californians.

Amigo also re-brands Boom!'s CT70 clone, the Amigo Rocky 125, which is also CARB certified for street use. Unlike the semi-auto transmission of the Icebear CT70 clone, the Amigo uses a manual 4-speed (probably the same engine as what is in the Vader since they are certified on the same EPA/DOT and CARB certifications), and I am sure Boom! imported a containerload of the enduros, so they are probably happy to partner with Amigo to sell them. I am surprised Venom did not pick them up considering their relationship with Boom! and the attraction of CARB certification. Probably a high-ish wholesale price is my guess.

Sparse information on the specifications. I prefer knowing more. Who made that engine? What is the actual displacement? Shock? Forks? Adjustable? That is a cheap looking swingarm. Nothing like the better swingarm you see on the KPX or Templars. More like the Hawk, TBR7 and Bashan Storm swingarms. And those bikes cost more than $1000 less.

Here is the link to Baodiao/Boom!'s US site. Kind of an industrial site with sparse information, but it does show two different dual-sports that they had planned/did import. They don't show the 250cc sport bikes offered by Venom and Powersportsmax among others, but a few of the bikes are familiar. The CT70 clone is the one they private label for Amigo, and is certified under the same certificate as the Vader and the vintage-looking 125 bike shown. http://www.baodiaomt.com/MOTORCYCLE_SCOOTER_BIKE/
