I agree completely, Cal. That's why I referred to these motorcycles as "so-called gray market" bikes. That's also why I don't use the term "Lifanoid," and intentionally use the term "Hondoid" for Chinese clones of Honda motorcycles. American Lifan coined the phrase "gray market Lifan," and this phrase never made any sense to me. :roll: I certainly hope Larry Hooper can now sell motorcycles once again!
