I, at first, thought the CSC was just a fun bike, but then researching (if you call an article or two on the internet 'research') them, I guess CSC is continuing the run of the Mustang which was another niche motorcycle mfg, from the greater metro L.A. area. Big engine, little bike.
I do think even for these the $8k is not the norm, but rather someone from the demographic I mentioned trying to outdo others.

The engines in the Cushman II scooters are Subaru Robin's. They use the EX40, and the EX27 (I think are the models). They should be Japanese made engines?? The bodywork is all powder coated steel. Made in the US, and pretty high priced. The Highlander is the one with the rack on the back. I think they start at about $5000 US.

There were a few go-kart/off-road buggies a few years back that boasted of a Subaru 400cc engine--I am quite sure those were manufactured in China. I understand that the more control a company has over the manufacturing line in China, the better. For instance, why the GW250 sold by Suzuki, but made in China, is sold by Suzuki.
