I was watching Drive and came across this, I'm no motorcycle guy but always kinda wanted a bike.
$3195 for a 250cc bike that doesn't look like I'm riding shrunken 600cc bike seems pretty nice to me lol, what I mean is that the 250cc bikes we can buy today look like bicycles with body panels from a sport bike.
While other modern day cafe racers are out there but aren't exactly cheap, there's a bike that I see and kinda want to buy since it's $3195USD and looks relatively good.
Lifan scooters made their way to North America several years ago. Their dealership network fizzled away leaving people high and dry for parts and many shops refuse to work on these bikes simply because of the poor workmanship of these scooters. I personally don't know of any that made it over 1500km on the odometer that ran into a major mechanical and/or electrical problem.
While I do appreciate the idea and premise behind these bikes, I'm not so sure I'd like to sink my money into a frankenbike just yet. As an owner of a classic cafe racer, these bikes simply do not meet the requirements of a true cafe bike. All you're buying is the faux-pas styling but of course, this is simply my own opinion.

ah my cousin was looking into bringing over chinese made motorcycles years ago but decided against it due to various headaches he could see
there's a korean company thats pretty popular here now too i cant recall their name but they made cruisers/sportbikes that were relatively cheap and didnt look half bad; made better than the chinese ones
edit: Hyosung is what i was thinking about in regards to the korean brand
Its based on the old British motorcycle and its made in India from the original specifications. This is like the VW Bugs that were made in South America until the late 90s.
They have a simple, easy to work on engine and look pretty sweet/retro chic. Plus, they'll have a little more brand name recognition than "Lifan" and parts will be easier to get a hold of. Theres a dealer in Vancouver too.

Royal Enfields have a cult following overseas. Here, not so much but there are a handful of enthusiasts in North America. They actually are very well built and to extremely high quality standards. Amazing bikes.
Shail's Motorcycles is the primary dealer of Royal Enfield. They recently moved to Langley if I recall correctly. Their location on Powell is now a vacant space.

they might look cool.but build, quality and parts availability is major issue with korean bikes. if ur buying a bike, stick with popular brands.
The 10 Cheapest Motorcycles Available in America
Ten of the least expensive motorcycles money can buy
By Basem Wasef, About.com Guide
What are the cheapest bikes on the market today?
We investigated motorcycles for sale in America (excluding scooters, minibikes, and the like), and produced this list of the ten least expensive bikes available. A few come from recognizable manufacturers, most are built in China, but all of these offerings are dirt cheap; here they are, in ascending order of affordability.
Okay so 1 Kawasaki, 1 Suzuki.. heck they were probably made in China too lol.. and who the f*ck is Johnny Pag? "Designed in USA, Built in China," reminds me of Apple products. And QLink XP sounds like a Modem/Router to me
The Kawasaki is the only one I'd consider in that list... but at 125cc you're basically on a snazzy looking scooter.

I went up to a cute chick and asked her if she'd let me take a photo of her for $30 she slapped me, she said to me that "I AIN'T A WHORE!"
But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".
OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~
