According to alibaba.com, two manufacturers say that they have this 400cc dual sport in EPA approved form...

Anybody on the inside know if this is true or would they just flat out lie to sell bikes? :?

and if it is EPA approved, where can i buy one???

I think that's the bike that Bruce saw at the Dealer's Expo--it had shortcomings, though, that Bruce saw right away.

The powerplant may be good but notice the same undersized short travel suspension. That coupled with a 30+ horsepower motor adds up to trouble. When are the chinese going to learn to put more than 7 inches of travel on one of these bikes.

When are the chinese going to start doing some REAL R&D instead of just copying things?

if it's priced right, i'd take one, even if suspension isn't the best. the issues that bruce pointed out seemed pretty minor, if bruce doesn't find this thread i'll probably pm him and see if he has any updates on this model
