It is a good looking bike. I'll give it that. Fuel injection, dual front disc, rear disc, inverted forks...it ticks a lot of boxes and on a budget. If one isn't hung up on country of origin, it would make a good first beater bike or commuter bike that you wouldn't need to worry about getting dinged up. Zip~
It's a Regal Raptor. They sell to multiple dealers across the world under different names. AJS, Johnny Pag, Junak, Hunter, the list goes on. Most engines are based on the CMX250 (More modern ones changed to EFI and/or water-cooled, the older model engines they used in their line up were literally copies of the CA125 and CMX250, with the exception of the 300cc and 350cc models) I literally have 3 bikes in my garage right now, a Honda Rebel CMX250, an AJS DD250E, and a Jinlun JL125-13. Guess what? They're all the same bike with all the same parts :P There's more Honda Rebel copies out there than actual Honda Rebels. Benelli Patagonian Eagle, Keeway Patagonian Eagle, Sinnis Cruisestar, Jinlun JL13, AJS Regal Raptor DD. It's insane. Check out the different brands for the same bike here: www.regal-raptor.com/en/map.asp
Hey there! Never expected this bike on your channel, but happy to see that. I own same bike. Bought it new for USD 3450 back in 2014 and have done more than 54 000 miles on it since then. Bought it for the looks, but never regretted that purchase =) I will add some minor details: it is indeed liquid cooled, not oil cooled this one is newer model with EFI and balance shaft - older ones had carbs engine basically is honda rebel with liquid cooled cylinders bike is made in China and sold around the world under different brands as Regal Raptor, Leonart, Junak, Jawa, Geon, Dadyw, Hunter - all local dealers - hence strange name
I was just about to comment about the brand they sell by in the world. I currently live in Peru and that bike here goes by Regal raptor. In Spain they go by Leonart. Down in Peru, they have a pretty good marketing scheme. But most mechanics have negative things to say. Maybe it's cause the models they sell out here are 400+ cc so maybe the change in pistons and gear box might not be all that good. Most mechanics here say they leak oil coming out the store.. i never had one myself but they do look nice.
I got one here in Australia known as a Hunter Daytona. As a first bike it’s been awesome. Learning heaps, working on it heaps and no issues mechanically. And everything about it is simple. I got 14” apes from a Harley to fit, hid the wiring, changed all the lights to LED. It’s been nothing but a pleasure to ride and work on.
I like it...and you dont need 1500 cc motor...I have ridden close to 200,000 miles in the past 12 years, own a couple of 250cc bikes and they go anywhere my bigger bikes can go...
I remember hearing about them following the Kikker Hard Knock. I still have my Hard Knock and considered a Pag or a Cleveland Cycle Works, but decided against them. Kikker Hard Knocks are just a great fun riding bike.
Exactly the same motorcycle is sold in Australia as a ‘Hunter’ (an Australian company that claims they designed it 🤣) Check that motor more closely. You’ll find it’s water cooled.
Was sold in Brazil as well, as Regal Raptor, they also designed it themselves ahaha. I already seen one of them, a Ghost (the same of this video) and i gotta tell, its a cool bike.
zimtuff you obviously haven’t looked at them closely. I’ve had the displeasure of having to work on Hunters. The motorcycle in this video is exactly the same as the Hunter Spyder . Everything about it.
@@gregorytimmons4777 right now srk has a 2002 Kawasaki Concours with 42k mi for $1800. I would take that or an older Honda vfr over this bike any day of the week. Even as a high milage bike that's almost 20 years old theyll still be 100 times more reliable, faster, easier to get parts, theres dealers thatll actually touch them, etc. I cant think of one legit reason why one would buy one of these instead. Hell I'm going this weekend to pick up my second bike a pristine 85' goldwing limited edition and will still pay less than this bike would cost and it's one of the most reliable motorcycles ever made. Theres like 15 other bikes I could name off the top of my head that would be cheaper and more reliable. But I say ride whatever you got and have fun.
@@WalrusWinking my first motorcycle is a 2005 BMW K1200S, heated grips ride control abs, its gorgeous, goes like stink, is comfortable as can be and intimidates the HELL outta me. But I LOVE it, and I can just enjoy it, LOOKING at it, let alone riding it to Deals Gap, and back. Whatsa matter with a 1300 as a first bike if you're sane and sober?
My favorite thing and one of the reasons I subscribe to your channel is the scriptures and the Lord. I will proudly support a business who doesn't shy away from having that as part of their channel. Thank you and I like this bike, seems like really cool entry level bike.
Plenty of people, some with their own jet airplane's have found that invoking the name of the lord allows them to sell some people anything and others will gladly give them money believing they are the lord's personal emissary.
I had one of those, 2008. But it is a ton of problems like the chain is too long, it bangs and needs to be adjusted constantly. The breaks lock up and makes the bike to fishtail to the side. And I changed out all the part and installed Honda in there. This being said, it was a fun bike and great for traveling around the country.
The bike is obviously an entry level, budget, beginner bike. The fact is, some people want to ride around town, dont care about displacement, want good good fuel economy, and like the cruiser look . It looks better than the little Honda's. Perfect little urban cruiser. Im gonna check, but I'd wager these sell well overseas and south of the border. I'd imagine a poor guy would love this and customize it. Its fun watching what people fo with small motorbikes , worldwide.
Johnny Pag started off with his 49 cc mini chopper. It sold for like $1600 and was popular around 2004. Shortly after that all these other cheap lower quality mopeds came out for about $300 to $600 bucks and made them really tough to sell after that.
I would buy one in a heartbeat except for one HUGE problem. Where the heck do you get parts for it?? Looks like no dealer anywhere near.....well, anywhere!
That is a water cooled engine. I have the same 350cc engine in my Regal Raptor. It is a clone of a Honda Rebel BTW. There are three variations of that bike- Cruiser, Spyder and Daytona. That one is the Spyder.
I love in the UK and have this exact bike with a 125cc engine, it's called an "AJS Daytona" it's a brilliant bike although abit under powered being a 125cc
I have one of these in Australia called a 2014 Laro Prostreet and it’s a 350cc efi version. I actually love riding it and it is deadset the most comfortable and nimble cruiser I’ve riden… I have hollowed the cats on it and hollowed out the mufflers so straight piped it and it sounds really good. It gets a lot of complements and thumbs up etc etc no it’s not a Harley but it’s a great beginner / intermediate bike to get into cruising and modifying until you upgrade into a nice Harley which is the plan. I wouldn’t mind modifying this bike to run a Harley Evo or another V twin which is what lead me to this post in the first time.
This bike was my first bike, I do really had awesome experiences with it, I used to live in Argentina, and I bought it used from my best friend, today I am missing it (In Argentina they are manufactured by Jawa-RVM), and I am looking a way to have it again (not exactly the one that was mine) but now I am living in Colombia, South America (if you have any info on how to have it imported, I am glad to hear about). Mechanically speaking, this bike has no problem, you can make it sound louder, "twearking" the mufflers, and boy It roars like an angry 1200 cc, I had it with carburator, not fuel injection systems. the only thing that "let's say" I felt of a real bad quality are the "metal" parts, the brake, the gear, the footpegs, they are of some kind of alloy of a poor quality and tends to break easily, but that's a thing you can purchase and change, cheap or even improve. As i said before, if someone knows how to have this bike imported to Colombia, I do really apreciate, I wish to have it again, my precious white horse.
Live the scripture you guys put in every video that’s just awesome! God bless and thanks for the review, I’m looking at buying a Johnny Pag bike this weekend.
Haha, I don’t think it’s a selling point saying in has more power than a lawn mower! It really is a nice looking bike, but I’m keeping my Harley heritage for now.
It's 3X Faster than your average Moped. Sean is probably one of the most humble men doing MC Blogs on RUclips. Most guys would not dare do a blog on the Pagsta!!!
I picked one of these, after seeing one local for not too much, and looking at RUclipss of swaps to slightly larger motors. Like into the 700cc range. But all the vids are so old, I can't get a response from most of the builders to get some details. I did get an answer from someone who put a Harley 883 in, but with so much frame altering it really wasn't the same frame any more. For now I have a chain drive 750 shadow motor I got cheap ( not running, but so I can eyeball things) because I once found someone who wrote he had put one in, but I can't find him again. And also have seen a few xs650 motors that I know should fit, but again, the posts on them are old and the posters don't respond. Also saw one with a 650 Savage motor, but I want just a little more, plus more than a single cylinder. So it's been more like a full size model car that I play with the style of (made a sissy bar, working on a king/queen seat, etc) until I can work out the motor idea.
It's just a "Get Around". Something to commute back and forth to work! What do you think about the Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 1700 ABS? I never seen you ride one.
I don`t know about the 300, but here in Spain they are 350`s, and my previous bike was a Kawa Vulcan 750, and I swear, my Leonart Daytona 350, at least with the straight pipes and chipped ECU can go 0 - 60 just as fast as the Kawa, and it has no problem doing a 100mph on the highway here in Spain. I ride with my MC here in Spain and it has no problem keeping up with them going on Harley`s. In fact effectswise, the Harley is a chromed out tractor.
These guys go by the name Hunter in Australia, the same Johnny Pag parts but under a different brand, kinda think like Chervy and Holden, but bought a second hand bike for $2500, fixed it up for about 600 and it only has 9000km on the clock. Entry level chopper for chopper fans like myself.
I own a 2016 Pagsta Cruisa (that's the model name). It's a 320 cc engine and runs very well and very comfortable.Great looking bike. It was my first bike but I use my 2018 390 duke now.
I had a 220 avenger when i lived in the Philippines. Its a good bike for bigger guys in a country where 90s 110s, 125s, and 150s are the norm. Lol the honda xrm125 screamed and cried everytime i sat on it. And i got that 220 up to 125kph once on a straight away.
So.. Johnny Pag stopped making bike in 2013. this one i belive is a Pro Street. Had a production year of 2009 & 2010. Possible this one came from South America or Canada. importers from Asian countries still send knockoffs. Would make sense, Speedometer is Kilometers per Hour, and wierd writing on it. But I'm still interested. Might hit you up in a few weeks. Seeing if you still have it, and if it is cost efficient to ship it to the other side of the country.
26hp lawn mower 7hp quadrupled (7×4=28) add a bit more let's say 2 (2+28=30) yep they're the same, nah I'm joking Sean love the videos keep them going.
Someone needs to take one of these and mod it to handle a Turbo. Should pull like an 600-800 cc NA bike I bet. At least it will be hilarious. Saab 120cid 4's put out 210hp stock in 2003. It's all about engine design and management. Bikes could do it too.
I think that bike was a regal raptor Daytona....the Johnny Pag Malibu is slightly different here in Argentina they sell them both. the one You are ridding it's call Jawa Daytona and the Malibu it's called Zanella 350
I had a 50cc pagsta chopper that i put a 50 cc semi auto baja dirt bike motor on. I rode it forever and when it broke i of course neglected it for years and eventually sold it to the scrapyard.. Well long story short i saw it a couple months back so i stopped and the guy said he was fixing it for his son! I was just happy it was running again and in rehab. I told him it would do burnouts and wheelies! 😄
Smaller bikes are totally adequate if you aren't trying to be the fastest thing around.. my rebel 250 is pretty comparable to an average, basic 4cyl car. Been my daily driver for almost two years. Can actually be kinda peppy if hit the upper rev range.
My question how cheap can you get the fuel injection system and can it be converted to put on Japanese motorcycles like a Suzuki dr650 on a Kawasaki or even Yamaha XT
I've wondered the same thing. Call me old & lazy but I'm so painfully sick of carbs. Everything should be Fuel-Injected. Access to Ethenol-Free Fuel has eased the torture of carbs greatly for my fleet but still. Some sort of universal ECU to code up & build maps must be around for SOMETHING. Somebody look into this.
Something is wrong with the tank alignment. Or something else? Looks like the tank is cocked. I like light small engine bikes. That one looks big which would work for me.
Bought a spider 2010 drove it for less than a year it broke down several times , can't find anyone to fix it can't find parts will never take it back to wild side choppers in Toronto ont had warranty issues never returned my calls , almost killed me buy not tightening my front brake bolts its been sitting here for 12 years can't get ahold of Johnny pag I'm pissed any help out there I really loved the bike?
This bike is so cool it reminds me of My first bike it was a 350 Honda I wish I never sold it it was so much fun getting around town I went out everyday on it I went to the night clubs on the weekend on it I miss my 350 Honda....
kmh is much better than mile per hour, makes much more sense. the speed of sound is about 1000kmh, and the meter system makes also more sense than mile or inches. one liter of whater is 10x10x10cm if im not wrong.
The 350 version is around 320cc the 300 is 270cc Branded as an ajs in the UK, various models including the eos, Daytona and bobber (bobber is actual the hardtail version?) Also sold as a regal raptor, leonart, liberta, hunter, junak, CMC, or jawa in other markets and possibly others , all the importers claim to have "designed" the bikes when in truth they have just chosen finish and decals. Much like the pitbikes that are sold with various branding including custom engine covers and graphics, I'm guessing anyone can make a minimum order and have such branding added. They are from what I can tell made by Lifeng Group Ltd. The company is located in Wenzhou, in Zhejiang Province, China, sold domestically as earth eagle or regal raptor. There appears to be a dd400e version also at 396cc dd269fmq (air cooled) dd269mq (liquid cooled) engine suggesting a 69mm bore and the same 53mm stroke making just 19.8kw/26.55bhp (from pdf manual) other site says 22kw/29.5bhp@ 8krpm 28nm@ 6.5krpm
Minute 8:33. If u were going to build a motorcycle as cheap as u can, it won’t look like this, and if it does, it will cost u 20k. That is exactly why I bought mine 1,6k and customized it. in Spain it is called Leonart !
I had a 2008 red with silver ghost flames spider for around two years I sold it for exactly what I paid for it ..! ( I talked to Johnny Pag himself...! ) , “Not his son who took the company over eventually “ , but to Johnny himself, Out In California “ about a problem I had after I had purchased my spider.....! When I purchased the bike , after a few days of riding it had a problem with the right bank fouling plugs ..!!!It was not a carburetor problem...! Johnny was very nice to me on the phone he said go to the dealership tomorrow morning and drop your motorcycle off after they open I told him I would..... The dealership called me the day after that and said my motorcycle was ready to pick up that I needed to bring a pick up truck....? Johnny had overnighted me a complete ( brand new motor ) and had the dealership install the new motor as opposed to trying to fix the Problem with the Other one ....! Johnny also ordered the dealership to give me the old motor for extra parts...!!! I got more compliments and questions about my spider then I did my Harley people wanting to know what it was it was a very smooth running little motorcycle but the top in was around 42 miles an hour....! It was great to take to bike shows and rallies but you could not get it up on the highway unfortunately..... Prof Jeff Johnny and his son your last name is actually ( Paganini ) i’m not sure of the spelling but I think this is correct...!
None of the Harley's are built in China, the foreign ones they're built in Thailand, and India. Harley is looking to expand into China though with 3 stores and a plant for their smaller 300cc new motorcycles openning up soon.
Find parts listings for sale b4 u buy it,u may not be able to get parts and if u can the cost of shipping Will break u on a 10 dollar part to ship it out ,I own a cfmoto,250 it's been a pretty good bike it's an 09,I got for a grand with 500miles on it I've been lucky to not have to do nothing major to it till this yeah 17000,miles on it an I'm gonna have to tear it down it started knocking my last ride 2 months ago,I've ridden it every year most of the year in Ohio wen the roads was clear enough to ride even winter time but a head light cost me 12 bucks cheap generic bulbs that I can't find in states of the usa,shipping cost 37bucks,a 2 dollar sight lenses for the master cylynder on my breaks cost me 24 bucks shipping ,u get the idea I'm sure,the radio mp3 ,player is junk but other then these issues I've road it to death and back at 45 to 55,miles per hour,so I got my money's worth out of it and I'm told by other owners I got 1of the good ones they have had issues ,that is just internet talk though ,many I think are not used to the cvt,trans belt drive like the gokarts have an they think it's messed up because it vibrates as u pull out and has a particular sound to the trans that Americans are not used to an I think it scares them thinking they are about to have issues but I looked at it like this for a grand I'll ride it till it breaks an fix it if I can,so far I've road it ,now I will fix it if I can,a new motoir even high be a fix at 400,bucks and a new belt some bearings ,about 700 at most in repairs and replace an I might get lucky and get another 10 years of every day commuting on it,if not I'm just gonna sale it for 500 and take the loss of a few hundred an buy a nap bike,maybe the Honda c.b.500 or a tenerra 700
Have a 100cc pagsta it also has a Johnny pag stamp. I seen a video of a dirt bike in China that has this motor but a higher reving version sounds like a sport bike engine.
It is a good looking bike. I'll give it that. Fuel injection, dual front disc, rear disc, inverted forks...it ticks a lot of boxes and on a budget.

Yup. same bike, different name badge. I have nearly 50000km on mine, still going well.

Would be a cool second bike for back and forth to work or just knocking around on. Looks pretty decent for the price.
It's water cooled, it exists also under Hunter Motorcycles Indonesia as the Diablo but with a 400cc 6 speeds gearbox and fuel Injection for 2021 😀

Dude, this is your best video ever!
One of
Haha, I don’t think it’s a selling point saying in has more power than a lawn mower! It really is a nice looking bike, but I’m keeping my Harley heritage for now.
Funny thing is, my riding mower has a 28hp 656cc engine. lol
He wasn't trying to appeal to the Cult
Not me bro, trading in my FLHR for four of those bad boys...
Lonestar Ranger haha, send me a pic from your first group ride after you do!
@@kenc165
Would me on the Pig Trail holding up traffic count as a group ride?
It's 3X Faster than your average Moped. Sean is probably one of the most humble men doing MC Blogs on RUclips. Most guys would not dare do a blog on the Pagsta!!!
Be nice to find one w a blown engine and throw a bigger one in. There appears to be room for a 650 or 750 at lesst.
You can put a 650 in it
So Johnny Pag is basically California's answer to Cleveland CycleWerks?
Yea
I loved the fall over backwards
I like it, how much does it weigh? I'm still lovin my FZ-07 I got from you 💙!
I like the paint ... 300cc insurance.. swap in an S&S and a baker 6spd...lol
Tyler Penny People have fit X650, CB550 and Z750 engines in the same frame.
Thanks Harrison... on 12/23/19 I watched this and that was just the verse I needed today!
I picked one of these, after seeing one local for not too much, and looking at RUclipss of swaps to slightly larger motors. Like into the 700cc range.
But all the vids are so old, I can't get a response from most of the builders to get some details. I did get an answer from someone who put a Harley 883 in, but with so much frame altering it really wasn't the same frame any more.
For now I have a chain drive 750 shadow motor I got cheap ( not running, but so I can eyeball things) because I once found someone who wrote he had put one in, but I can't find him again. And also have seen a few xs650 motors that I know should fit, but again, the posts on them are old and the posters don't respond. Also saw one with a 650 Savage motor, but I want just a little more, plus more than a single cylinder.
So it's been more like a full size model car that I play with the style of (made a sissy bar, working on a king/queen seat, etc) until I can work out the motor idea.
It's just a "Get Around". Something to commute back and forth to work! What do you think about the Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 1700 ABS? I never seen you ride one.
I don`t know about the 300, but here in Spain they are 350`s, and my previous bike was a Kawa Vulcan 750, and I swear, my Leonart Daytona 350, at least with the straight pipes and chipped ECU can go 0 - 60 just as fast as the Kawa, and it has no problem doing a 100mph on the highway here in Spain. I ride with my MC here in Spain and it has no problem keeping up with them going on Harley`s. In fact effectswise, the Harley is a chromed out tractor.
i have a 2003 50cc pagsta that i got for $600. its impossible to find parts for it but its lasted and its been fun
It's name is Daytona in Turkey. The brand is Regal Raptor. The spyder is the same tho.
I have an 06 spyder 250. It's a fun little bike and rides nice for it's geometry
I like the choppers he made they were beautiful! That is a good looking and riding bike! Thanks for sharing!
I paid only slightly more than that for my 2010 yamaha raider
These guys go by the name Hunter in Australia, the same Johnny Pag parts but under a different brand, kinda think like Chervy and Holden, but bought a second hand bike for $2500, fixed it up for about 600 and it only has 9000km on the clock.
Entry level chopper for chopper fans like myself.
They had chopper versions as well that were very cool
Had this Harley pass me going home from work.
Looked pretty good but sounded like a moped.
It was one of these.
I own a 2016 Pagsta Cruisa (that's the model name). It's a 320 cc engine and runs very well and very comfortable.Great looking bike. It was my first bike but I use my 2018 390 duke now.
I had a 220 avenger when i lived in the Philippines. Its a good bike for bigger guys in a country where 90s 110s, 125s, and 150s are the norm. Lol the honda xrm125 screamed and cried everytime i sat on it. And i got that 220 up to 125kph once on a straight away.
Why oh why are there sooooooooo many garbage motorcycles on the market?! This bike looks like something Harbor Freight would sell. In a box.
Wish.com or alibaba special, you want brand? We brand bike for you! Call it Sphincter Wrecker, we don't care! How many thousand you want?
Don't buy it then, why do u care if they make a million different cheap bikes, go buy a Harley and shut up lips
So.. Johnny Pag stopped making bike in 2013. this one i belive is a Pro Street. Had a production year of 2009 & 2010.
Possible this one came from South America or Canada. importers from Asian countries still send knockoffs. Would make sense, Speedometer is Kilometers per Hour, and wierd writing on it.
But I'm still interested. Might hit you up in a few weeks. Seeing if you still have it, and if it is cost efficient to ship it to the other side of the country.
White sports stripe is cool 😎
Here in Chile that motorcycle is called Regal Raptor Spider
26hp lawn mower 7hp quadrupled (7×4=28) add a bit more let's say 2 (2+28=30) yep they're the same, nah I'm joking Sean love the videos keep them going.
Thank You.... for Not knocking the little bike. I respect that from you. A fun little bike I think ...for the $$$.
Someone needs to take one of these and mod it to handle a Turbo. Should pull like an 600-800 cc NA bike I bet. At least it will be hilarious.
Saab 120cid 4's put out 210hp stock in 2003. It's all about engine design and management. Bikes could do it too.
I think that bike was a regal raptor Daytona....the Johnny Pag Malibu is slightly different here in Argentina they sell them both. the one You are ridding it's call Jawa Daytona and the Malibu it's called Zanella 350
Does it matter what you ride? Not really. Does it matter if you are having fun? Definitely.
I had a 50cc pagsta chopper that i put a 50 cc semi auto baja dirt bike motor on. I rode it forever and when it broke i of course neglected it for years and eventually sold it to the scrapyard.. Well long story short i saw it a couple months back so i stopped and the guy said he was fixing it for his son! I was just happy it was running again and in rehab. I told him it would do burnouts and wheelies! 😄
Pagsta is alright enjoying ur work,bikers rule all.
Smaller bikes are totally adequate if you aren't trying to be the fastest thing around.. my rebel 250 is pretty comparable to an average, basic 4cyl car. Been my daily driver for almost two years. Can actually be kinda peppy if hit the upper rev range.
I giggled when you said I assume I'm going the speed limit 🤣 that's me
If that speedometer is in kph then the odometer is more than likely 40 kilometres or 25 miles. Even lower mileage than you thought.
I just seen one in FB marketplace for 2 grand I’m in the process of getting my motorcycle licence and am considering it. Even just to rip around
My question how cheap can you get the fuel injection system and can it be converted to put on Japanese motorcycles like a Suzuki dr650 on a Kawasaki or even Yamaha XT
I've wondered the same thing. Call me old & lazy but I'm so painfully sick of carbs. Everything should be Fuel-Injected. Access to Ethenol-Free Fuel has eased the torture of carbs greatly for my fleet but still. Some sort of universal ECU to code up & build maps must be around for SOMETHING. Somebody look into this.
It's like a Rebel that grew up a bit, but isn't quite full grown.
Great comment. At the end of the day, it's just a REBEL clone.
50 years later my back and neck stopped hurting....But I still have that Jonny Peg!
Something is wrong with the tank alignment. Or something else? Looks like the tank is cocked.
I like light small engine bikes. That one looks big which would work for me.
I was still laughing my ass off at his wipeout over the front wheel...even at the point that he started his test ride LOLLOL
Bought a spider 2010 drove it for less than a year it broke down several times , can't find anyone to fix it can't find parts will never take it back to wild side choppers in Toronto ont had warranty issues never returned my calls , almost killed me buy not tightening my front brake bolts its been sitting here for 12 years can't get ahold of Johnny pag I'm pissed any help out there I really loved the bike?
If someone gave me that I wouldn’t say no, and I’d be proud of it. If it was getting me from A to B as stated looking cool. What’s not to like???
they could have gone with a 270 crank on that parallel twin...that sound it's a bit weird for that knd of bike.
This bike is so cool it reminds me of My first bike it was a 350 Honda I wish I never sold it it was so much fun getting around town I went out everyday on it I went to the night clubs on the weekend on it I miss my 350 Honda....
kmh is much better than mile per hour, makes much more sense. the speed of sound is about 1000kmh, and the meter system makes also more sense than mile or inches. one liter of whater is 10x10x10cm if im not wrong.
I wanna see that bike climbing the Rocky mountain roads. Great video
The 350 version is around 320cc the 300 is 270cc
Branded as an ajs in the UK, various models including the eos, Daytona and bobber (bobber is actual the hardtail version?)
Also sold as a regal raptor, leonart, liberta, hunter, junak, CMC, or jawa in other markets and possibly others , all the importers claim to have "designed" the bikes when in truth they have just chosen finish and decals.
Much like the pitbikes that are sold with various branding including custom engine covers and graphics, I'm guessing anyone can make a minimum order and have such branding added.
They are from what I can tell made by Lifeng Group Ltd. The company is located in Wenzhou, in Zhejiang Province, China, sold domestically as earth eagle or regal raptor.
There appears to be a dd400e version also at 396cc dd269fmq (air cooled) dd269mq (liquid cooled) engine suggesting a 69mm bore and the same 53mm stroke making just 19.8kw/26.55bhp (from pdf manual) other site says 22kw/29.5bhp@ 8krpm 28nm@ 6.5krpm
J.r is my friend since 1996, great family
Today Sean sounds like a pure salesman. Which he is pretty good at.
Minute 8:33. If u were going to build a motorcycle as cheap as u can, it won’t look like this, and if it does, it will cost u 20k. That is exactly why I bought mine 1,6k and customized it. in Spain it is called Leonart !
I'm sure you don't have this bike anymore but... What if you dropped a Preditor 670 V twin from Harbor Freight in it??
I had a 2008 red with silver ghost flames spider for around two years I sold it for exactly what I paid for it ..! ( I talked to Johnny Pag himself...! ) , “Not his son who took the company over eventually “ , but to Johnny himself, Out In California “ about a problem I had after I had purchased my spider.....! When I purchased the bike , after a few days of riding it had a problem with the right bank fouling plugs ..!!!It was not a carburetor problem...! Johnny was very nice to me on the phone he said go to the dealership tomorrow morning and drop your motorcycle off after they open I told him I would..... The dealership called me the day after that and said my motorcycle was ready to pick up that I needed to bring a pick up truck....? Johnny had overnighted me a complete ( brand new motor ) and had the dealership install the new motor as opposed to trying to fix the Problem with the Other one ....! Johnny also ordered the dealership to give me the old motor for extra parts...!!! I got more compliments and questions about my spider then I did my Harley people wanting to know what it was it was a very smooth running little motorcycle but the top in was around 42 miles an hour....! It was great to take to bike shows and rallies but you could not get it up on the highway unfortunately..... Prof Jeff
Johnny and his son your last name is actually ( Paganini ) i’m not sure of the spelling but I think this is correct...!
Johnny Paganini.....!
None of the Harley's are built in China, the foreign ones they're built in Thailand, and India.
Harley is looking to expand into China though with 3 stores and a plant for their smaller 300cc new motorcycles openning up soon.
Huge new plant built in Thailand apparently aimed at European buyers to avoid taxes.
Plot twist: its actually made by HD.
hahahaha!!! with an MSRP of under $5k? yeah, right.
"don't need a 1500cc motor" I'm... I'm gonna dip out. 😂
Plagues of Wrath
While 300 is a bit small, 750-900 is PLENTY of power. If taking two: 1200 is plenty.
Find parts listings for sale b4 u buy it,u may not be able to get parts and if u can the cost of shipping Will break u on a 10 dollar part to ship it out ,I own a cfmoto,250 it's been a pretty good bike it's an 09,I got for a grand with 500miles on it I've been lucky to not have to do nothing major to it till this yeah 17000,miles on it an I'm gonna have to tear it down it started knocking my last ride 2 months ago,I've ridden it every year most of the year in Ohio wen the roads was clear enough to ride even winter time but a head light cost me 12 bucks cheap generic bulbs that I can't find in states of the usa,shipping cost 37bucks,a 2 dollar sight lenses for the master cylynder on my breaks cost me 24 bucks shipping ,u get the idea I'm sure,the radio mp3 ,player is junk but other then these issues I've road it to death and back at 45 to 55,miles per hour,so I got my money's worth out of it and I'm told by other owners I got 1of the good ones they have had issues ,that is just internet talk though ,many I think are not used to the cvt,trans belt drive like the gokarts have an they think it's messed up because it vibrates as u pull out and has a particular sound to the trans that Americans are not used to an I think it scares them thinking they are about to have issues but I looked at it like this for a grand I'll ride it till it breaks an fix it if I can,so far I've road it ,now I will fix it if I can,a new motoir even high be a fix at 400,bucks and a new belt some bearings ,about 700 at most in repairs and replace an I might get lucky and get another 10 years of every day commuting on it,if not I'm just gonna sale it for 500 and take the loss of a few hundred an buy a nap bike,maybe the Honda c.b.500 or a tenerra 700
I never heard of those things but it's not a bad lil bike . It would be a grate bike for a girl or a new rider .
I think this exact same bike is sold as the Regal Raptor Daytona in some countries in Asia.
Sean's official title at SRK Cycles is kickstand quality control tester.
Saw one on facebook for 1350, seriously thinking about buying it, just for a cruiser when i dont feel like taking my truck out
in spain this same bike is called a leonart daytona and they make a lot of more bikes
thats a Regal Raptor. made in chyna by Lifeng group. they have some nice chassis. but the engine is old tech. low hp considering its dissplacement.
“Back person” is Sean speak for passenger? Just busting chops guys. Thanks for the review
Ever since I’ve seen the pro street I have been in love with them.
I was pretty impressed with the forward controls, wheel design, oil cooler and fuel injection for the price. Did you figure out what Pagsta is?
Have a 100cc pagsta it also has a Johnny pag stamp. I seen a video of a dirt bike in China that has this motor but a higher reving version sounds like a sport bike engine.
Love y'all keep on keeping on!!!
In Chile Is called "Regal Raptor Daytona"
Its similar to a regal raptor
Hi. i have the same bike with an 125cc motor! good 1st bike for me!! it calls "Leonart Daytona 125" ate Portugal! BTW love the channel! Thanks
