Just a thought
I haven't looked hard, but have the Chinese copied the Madass style bikes yet?
It seems they have tried it all, including the Honda Ruckus (I've seen it renamed as the Rowdy) :roll: I think I even saw it in trike form on one site. |

I thought that the Madass was Chinese; it's definitely a Chinese engine. I have seen two similar machines with different names on them as well. In Canada, it's also known as the AMG Nitro.

After facing a series of financial problems, stemming from pensions issues relating to the Hercules bicycle works, the company went into insolvency proceedings and ultimately saw a successful management buyout led by the managing director Corrado Savazzi. At this time Sachs was reduced to local assembly of small, cheap, Chinese-sourced scooters, which weren't doing well. The distinctive Sachs MadAss was the only Sachs-engineered motorcycle made at the time.
Sachs is an importer of Chinese product. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachs_Motorcycles |
