Hopefully third 'da Hooligun' will be the charm!

Looks Megelli-like, and definitely something I would consider...

That's an interesting swingarm! It really picks up the ladder frame.

Super good looking bike. CCW has a better than average reputation amongst CB dealers and I wish them well with this bike. IIRC they sell (sold?) Johnny Pag as well?

That's a nice looking bike!

Did they ever sell the original "hooligun" which I think was the Qingqi? I remember seeing it on their website, but never actually heard of anyone buying one.

Here is a new one I found, it says hi-bird. Labelled as the sd250gy-8

I like that one--any info, Driller?

I do remember about 4 years ago, Hi-Bird had a very promising-looking enduro as well as a chopper. The chopper came, but not the enduro, and then the economy seemed to take Hi-Bird away altogether.

I don't know if I can dig up any old Hi-Bird photos to compare, but this bike does look different than the one they used to tease us with.

Google sd250gy-8, what I saw said new for 2012, Chongiang Hibird. My spelling may be off and I didn't see anything about actual import to North America. I just thought the pic looked suspiciously like the "hooligan" only with an air cooled engine.
