The bike is EPA and DOT approved now. The factory is just looking for an Importer to bring the bikes into the States and/ or Canada as the Shineray brand. If the factory finds an Importer willing to do that the Importer will be given exclusive rights to distribute these new Shineray models in the USA and/or Canada.
I'd also rather have a well designed and put together bike over one that is thrown together out of a bucket of parts to get it to market quickly and cheaply. This can work for a company in the short term but it is always a better idea for any business to offer a quality product that is their own rather than to make a cheap knock of and then over stress design imitations.
Really I've personally become a huge fan of the Shineray bikes because they are unique and well built in a sea of the same. They are really something that stands out in the China bike industry and if there current offerings are an indication of what is to come in the future this could be a brand to watch.
Shineray will also be releasing a 400cc Dual sport sometime around the beginning of next year. The engine will be based on the Honda XR400 but will have the added option of electric start and will be stuffed in one of Shineray's own frame designs.
