p.s. here are some pics for reference... She needs lessons on how to ride. Her feet are on the wrong pegs. Mind you all the kids round here ride their scooters like that! 
Hahah, I have a feeling she was just a pillion show piece. I bet she doesn't ride

Advrider has a thread where the inmates make fun of models in print advertising trying to look like motorcyclists. It is usually pretty funny when the bikers all wear garden gloves and leather soled boots. |

I don't like a lot of plastic on my bikes or my women.

Quite a lot to choose from here in the UK. I have had quite a few one a 2005 Honda cg 125 copy where even honda parts fitted like swinging arm and wheels. I did find in the early days importers came and went so a lot of cross referencing was needed of similar models such as yamasaki, sukida etc, etc. But all parts could be found 12 years and older models. Plus you need to know how to wield spanners or it can get expensive. I regularly do round trips of 400 miles on chinese stuff without mishap. I now have a 2013 model which is just deleted from range due to Euro4 compiance regs which make fuel inject and other stuff needed. So bought spare new tank, seat, side panels and rack for £85 as I intend on keeping this one which is really cheap when compared to Japanese of that year.
All in all they have come on in leaps and bounds over the years and now have importers that are not going to disappear overnight.
Over this side the pond we have a case whereby good secondhand japanese are loads,loads dearer than chinese

I have been trying to find a LIFAN dealership. I would like to buy a 200krp. Its a single cylinder street bike. Also I'm interested in a 125cc grom knockoff.

Lifan bikes are EPA certified for the US, but they have not started selling bikes as of yet. You might want to call them to see when they will start dealing. I am interested in the non-fairing KP200 and the 200cc endure. At 48, I am probably too old for the mini 150, LOL. I do think it will be a game changer for that class of bikes, for a little while at least; 150cc vertical thumper and 5 speed should show the Grom and any other mini its taillights.  |

Wha....? almost all scoots have plastic covers and body panels. Well, except Vespa. They have metal monocoque

Fine for scooters. But kind of a pain to deal with
I just don't like the look of ninjas or whatever the hell they're called.

Around here, it seems like the Chinese stuff is getting better, but it's still like the Japanese bikes were in the 70s.
