NEW Qlinks Coming?
 

Ok I was on thier site and e-mailed them an inquire about the XF200 any new ones? Here is the repsonse I got:

Andrew,

We have not had new XF’s since 2009…the ones being sold in 2010 and 11 were all year 2009 models.
QLINK is replacing these bikes in about one month with an upgraded 250cc model.

Thanks,

If anyone knows what this bike is or has pictures - Please share them with us - Just curious about whats in store for the Qlink XF Supermoto Model. I did ask if she had info on the 250 model but have NOT gotten a reply yet.

Andrew :D

I've known about that for a couple of months now but have not said anything until I have pictures or a chance to ride the demo. :wink:

It's a watercooled 4 valve 250 6 speed with higher end suspension. The current closest demo is in Seattle, but Andy is hoping to have one soon here :D . Last I heard it's a little OVER $3,000. The pictures are nice. It looked like a black KLX250S.

Because of the price I did not seriously consider it over the KLX before I made my purchace. For an extra $900 I saw no reason to not go with a Kawasaki over an untested Chineese model.

As Spud has said, once a Chinabike gets up to around $2,000 it may be better to stick with a used Japanese bike.

Wow thats cool - And Yeah I agree with you on the Price thing. I'd really like to get a peek at one of these! Have you actually seen one? I searched the web, but not deep enough I guess. I'll bet ya it has a LED Speedo unit on it! LOL I hope they keep the FAST Orange option and maybe add a Blue / red or even yellow to the color options. Guess we'll have to wait and see. If anyone reading this happens across some links or pictures, I hope they post'm up here. Qlink seems to have a decent start of history going with thier products, and hope they keep up the quality as well. Thanks for chimming in Doc.

I saw a few pics but I don't have access to them now, they were in an email to Andy from the Q people. I saw the pics on his machine. Frankly I lost interest when I saw the price.... :cry:

I think $2500 may be the magic number. Need some real world reviews of it and also long term reliability info. Q parts seem to be pretty good.

No Response back from "q" on any details - I can tell they are holding back......they probably can't - They probably have release date or something....Keeping us all on our toes waiting to see this NEW Bike. Good idea actually.....LOL...... :lol:

My CB Guy went back to Q in Texas. He says it's basically the Shineray 250 watercooled, to be badged as a Q.

He's not real happy about it. The price is substantially higher, more maintenance due to the liquid cooling and he said the seat height is going to knock out a lot of potential buyers who won't be able to reach the ground. He currently trying to get his hands on more XP's and XF's.

I don't want to change the Subject of my Post - but here's what I did to make my "q" MORE COMFORTABLE FOR ME! I'm 5'4" SHORT! - LOL

Hmm... I wonder if it's this one;

That looks like it, but the Q I saw pics of was black with D/S wheels.

Clever idea, Andrew! :idea:

David has it correct! I had received a email from someone from Qlink last August. I had inquired about becoming a dealer a few years ago, so I guess I was still on a list as a potential dealer.

It lists the bikes as the XF250 and XP250. The XP250 photo is the offroad version, but I am pretty sure it will be like the XP200.

The bikes are definitely Shinerays like we saw introduced 3 or so years ago.

I was hoping that the XF200 and XP200 would have stayed in their lineup and that they would bring in the Qingqi 250 as a step up, or even if they got rid of the 200's at least upgrade to the 250.

Here is whaqt I got this morning from Qlink:

Nothing printed up or anything yet, Andrew…those will be rolled out online ASAP…I have been pressing them to do it sooner rather than later. Probably just a few weeks out at this point.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Wow do want! Same as pitster was selling a while back?

I'd grab one if they were avalible in Canada.

ragehard--these bikes are Shineray manufactured. The Pitster bikes were a small OEM called Shuopu Science and Technology, etc, etc (as the companies' names in China tend to be long run-on sentences...).

However, the engines might be from the same source--Loncin?!

And here is one of the new American Lifan offerings (photo stolen from ChinaV who has seen this in person and snapped this picture)

Perhaps it, too, has the Loncin water-cooled engine :?:
