Although QLINK motorcycles are made in China, that’s no reason for larger, well-known bike manufacturers to ignore the emerging brand. QLINK could one day make it to the big time! Why did it die? Priced too high? Too similar to SSR?

I'm not sure why Q Link went away. They had a big setup in Texas and a nice website. I actually ordered parts off the website and they arrived, just like CSC. Then one day, POOF! Gone. The Q Link was more expensive than the average 998.00 CB Hondoid. Mine was 1750.00, new. That's quite a bit more than a Hondoid....but they also stepped up the quality immensely. SSR actually IS what Q Link was, just marketed by someone else now. It's why I almost pulled the trigger on the XF250 for Mrs 2LZ instead of the TT250. I know the quality will be there but the new SSR's are very expensive at a grand more than my Q Link. Also, SSR doesn't really offer any parts or support or if they do, they do a damn good job of hiding the fact. It's the main reason CSC got my sale. So, in short, Q Link and SSR are the same bike.....just a 250 now. It's the Suzuki TU250 motor. Here's the new version: http://www.superiorpowersports.com/2...r250edb-xf.htm

Here's a couple pictures of mine, I paid 700$ for her. Attachment 7307
I'll go take another picture of the rear tail light as I hacked her up and it looks pretty good! I also stuck a China h4 HID bulb in the stock headlight and its way better!!Attachment 7308 Attachment 7309 I also have the entire parts exploded view in English as well and yes, I have emailed QLINK and they still stock most parts, at least that's what they told me. |

hey RV I just got back from San Diego Friday night (I live in CT). I love your city. I was going to rent a bike from the Indian Dealer, you know where the jets practically land at the airport.
I couldn't get anyone to ride with me from our business conference so no seat time for me. Instead I rented a minivan so a bunch of us went to La Jolla. I wish I could fit my Hawk in my carryon on the plane. |

BTW, bike looks great! Do a little jetting and a pipe and gain 5 hp. The video I posted of Boostcrzy's dyno run shows the mods at the beginning of it. Same mods I have on my XP200. Made a big difference. Here's my '09 XP200. Love this bike.

Hey RV when I was landing in San Diego I noticed every peak had some sort of dirt trail leading up to the top. Are you allowed to ride those?

Exhaust, get one of these. Bolts right on, opens the breathing and you lose a bunch of weight. FMF Turbine Core 2 "Universal spark arrestor" it's called. About 120.00. It will be a little noisier but not to bad.
