Are these available in Australia yet? I always like the 'romantic' ideal of riding a small displacement Chinese bike through China and other countries nearby, such as Vietnam. This would probably be most close to being a "Chinese Honda" for such as trip as far as reliability is concerned (I do believe there are actual Honda joint-ventures in China, so my statement is misleading, LOL)
I don t think anyone imports them. I also don t think anyone imports road registrable complete zongshen branded zongs these days, but I hope I stand to be corrected on this point :-)
