But it says Kung Fu!  I thinks it cool even if it's cheap Chinese crap.  I remember a time when everything that came out of Japan was cheap Japanese crap.

The engine looks like they reverse engineered a CM250 or Twinstar, or whatever the hell it's called..

I had a '79 CM185T that was nearly indestructible, until I destructed it...   

I commuted on it for 15K miles, 60 miles per day at 60mph, getting 65 mpg hauling my 250 lbs with windshield day in and day out.  Motor never complained a bit until the countershaft seal backed out at speed and pumped all its oil out on the ground.  Seized 'er right up!

see, told you so 
 The 125 had a much higher redline and dual carbs, the single carb 185 was actually more reliable at lower rpm.
 Both needed correct oil level though
