zongshen vs lifan?

Anyone have any comparison of the lifan 200gy-5 to the zongshen enduro, it looks awesome, though I read it has rear drum brakes, where as my lifan has both disc...

How is the zongshen? It really looks sharp, though Im not even sure they're in Canada?

This was taken from a dealer of Zongshen. As far as I've been able to discern, Roketa is made by Zongshen or at least the engine is.

The manufacturer:

You probably haven't heard of Zongshen yet, but you will in 2007. Zongshen is one of China's largest private motorcycle and automotive manufactures. The Zongshen manufacturing facility can produce four million units annually. They have partnered with Harley Davidson to help Harley enter the Chinese market.

The company has made a substantial investment in the US market, and they are here to stay. Parts are stocked here in the US and readily available within a few days from the Zongshen warehouse and headquarters in Miami, Florida. There are Zongshen dealerships in many, but not all states, and the dealership network is growing rapidly. Visit the Zongshenamerica.com web site to search for a dealer in your area and to view additional models and specifications.

Zongshen motorcycles are not cheap knock-offs of Japanese motorcycles and are designed, engineered and manufactured by Zongshen, including the engine and other components.

Zongshen motorcycles are listed by many major insurance companies, Progressive, Geico, and others.

Zongshen motorcycles are different then the rest of the Chinese motorcycles currently flooding the US market. The Zongshen Motorcycle group is an ISO 9000 certified company. ISO9000 is a worldwide quality certification that ensures quality from the design phase through the production of the final product. The engineering, design and quality of the components and performance of Zongshen motorcycles is comparable to other major manufactures.

The Zongshen Motorcycle Racing Team, founded in 1999, is unique because it is the only Chinese motorcycle racing team to participate in the World Motorcycle Championships. This racing experience results in performance improvements and increased reliability for their production motorcycles.

Zongshen produces a full line of small to medium displacement street motorcycles, as well as, ATV's, engines and power equipment. There is a growing nationwide network of Zongshen dealerships to service, repair and provide warranty work for your motorcycle. Replacement and warranty parts are stocked in the US for immediate availability.

If you want the Lifan with dual disc brakes you'd better hurry. A dealer told me that the next shipment of Lifan's will have a rear drum brake. Lifan has had problems with the rear disc. He got that information at the dealers show.

Well if it's the same problem that we had with the Roketas, then it's a pretty easy fix.

Oh I already got the lifan, was just curious... My rear brake seems fine, though I think there may be a problem with the front. My dad is getting his on sat so I can compare, but it looks like the left pad is nonexistent... Will look and compare sat.
