China is not our friend and I go out of my way to buy things that are not made in china. That bike is just a poorly made copy of an older goldwing because China cannot innovate. They can only steal technology or copy older products with expired patents and figure out how to cut production corners. China is an aggressive dishonest thieving bully and I will not help them steal any more market share than they already have.
But that's just me.

Nothing a set of cams and a little compression can't fix :) Although it's always going to be longer than a V8 and considerably wider, which might make the Locost packaging a challenge.
A flat 8 is not a common engine format (is it flat or a boxer?). But one place it was used was the Porsche 906 in 2l form, just like this one. Hmmm, who do we know who's building a Porsche 906?

According to the reports, it's a true Boxer. 8 rod journals.
