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  Heres the link to the bike http://www.saferwholesale.com/125cc-...dt-bd125-2.htm It rides slightly higher than the other 125 and has a more throaty sounding exhaust.

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! |

It looks like the 190 could bolt right up.

"I was wondering how this bike is working out.
Would you recommend it?" 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.
