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 . 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.

Obviously, these Chinese companies don't understand the U.S. marketplace. I don't know why Zongshen stopped importing the Sierra 200GY-2, and I don't know why QLink stopped importing the XP200. :roll: Pitster Pro had great difficulty selling the LXT 400, even when it was marked down to $2,000, delivered! 8O Personally, I would not buy a relatively unproved, 250cc motorcycle for $3,000, when I could buy a lot of low-mileage, well-proven, Japanese motorcycles for less. :roll:

I wish QLink the best of luck with their new offerings, but I think the Chinese are pricing themselves out of the marketplace in the United States.
