I live in the Cleveland area and just got back from visiting the factory.  The assembly and quality of these bikes is solid.  I can highly recommend them just from what I saw.  You get a lot of customizable options too.  I'd say the only downside is the price and weight compared to their Chinese road-legal-electric-dirt-bike competition.  It has a more erector-set look compared to something integrated like a Zero FX/FXE, but that also appears to make it easier to work on.  A steel frame does have its advantages.  The biggest difference between between this and my Zero FXS, besides obvious speed and battery capacity, is the jackshaft used to transfer power from a belt to a chain (or another belt as an option!).  This is common in some of the Sur-ron type dirt bikes since you can change gearing & sprockets easier, and LAND offers those options.

Anyway, if you're looking for a motorcycle that is 80% of the speed, weight and price of a Zero FXE, I think they're a solid option.  Bonus points for being able to remove the battery.  You can opt for an onboard charger too but that is not standard, so make sure you select it if you want it.  The external one is standard.

I'm seriously considering the race edition of this bike.  The $1000 off sale this month is tempting.  Depending on how it lays down, you can throw it in the back of a truck.  138 pounds is half the weight of a Zero FX.

So are these Caofens real or vaporware?

Well this post didn't age well.  I don't see that bike listed on their page anywhere now.

But another outfit in Cleveland has sprung up to give it a shot.  We'll see if they're still around in a few years.

I'm unfortunately leaving you guys, but here is my baby if anyone is interested and near Ohio.

I used to work at GTE Lenkurt in San Carlos, CA. They decided to save money by moving to ABQ, NM. That move caused them to go bankrupt. Yeah, they could get MUCH cheaper labor there. But couldn't find the same quality of employees as they could in the SF Bay Area. All the tech people are in places such as Silicon Valley. It's been that way for quite a while.

They might be splitting the difference?  Keeping design and engineering in CA, but move assembly to a lower cost area.  We shall see.

My opinion is they may be moving production overseas.  It's hard to compete in this segment with California wages.

As said above, forums are better for searching technical questions.  The downside of Facebook is the same questions get asked over and over because search is difficult.  And some questions get left unanswered by the technical experts because they're already done it.
