Check out this amazing Zong I just saw!
 
Spotted in the library parking lot on my lunch time walk. :D

Check out the mileage! Look at the original new condition dualsport tires! 8O

Its faded from the desert sun but nothing a can of Krylon can't fix. :wink:

If it's still there when I'm out of work for the day I'm leaving a note on it with an offer to buy it. :P

I'm glad to hear that it's sun faded. I was going to say that I didn't know they came in pink. I hope you get a favourable response, because it's not even broken in yet.

I bet that Zong hasn't had its first oil change. ;) A little Krylon Fusion spray paint, and that Zong will be in mint condition! :)

Spud :)

It was not there after work but I will keep an eye out for it. :wink:

Lets start a poll.

What do you all think is a good offer? :P

$900

FastDoc 09-27-2012 12:10 PM

Good bid. Keep them coming! :D

My logic is the bike is likely an '06. He probably paid about a grand for it six years ago. Most people would consider it to have poor cosmetics due to the severe sun fading. Plus, the naive would consider it just a cheap knockoff.... 8)

I was thinking a $700 offer.

Weldangrind 09-27-2012 12:14 PM

My guess is that the original owner never rode it and just sold it. If that's the case, the new owner isn't likely to take a hit on it. I'm with Kato. $900.

FastDoc 09-27-2012 12:27 PM

That is another distinct possibility.

It is worth every penny of $900.

That Zong is in mint condition; it is absolutely worth $900. ;)

If I owned it I'd run it as is (except painted) until the stock tires wore out, then it would need Spudwheels of course. :wink:

No problema, Doc. I can fix you up with Spudwheels. ;) If properly maintained, that Zong will run a very long time; it's built as well as any Yamaha. :)

During lunch I will ride over to see if it is there and leave a note on it.

FastDoc 10-02-2012 06:54 PM

I'm at that office again tomorrow. Will prepare a little note just in case it's still there! :P

MICRider 10-02-2012 11:40 PM

She's a beauty! Be nice to see you get it and spray the plastics back to life :). After reading Spud's numerous fantastic ride reports, and seeing the longevity he's enjoying with his I have a huge respect for the Zong. :D

FastDoc 10-03-2012 11:44 AM

This Zong needs me. :lol:

It would be fun to actually HAVE a Chinabike again. :wink:
