Neat thread.

As an owner of a L/C CB I liked this line especially:

Some small dents in the cooling surface, no leakage...its still a Chinese bike assembled by Chinese craftsmen :P

Sounds like it has the usual CB issues. Little challenges or nuisances depending on one's perspective. I like the adjustable suspension. On some CB's however the adjustments are mostly placebos and don't do very much. This may be different.

I still think it will be too expensive to sell well, although the Q reputation and warantee may help.

OK, bringing up the 200cc "debate" on this thread from a few days ago, discussing the Qingqi in particular, there are actual Qingqi's 200 available in the US, that were dumped here. I don't remember the site selling them, but they show actual Qingqis as well as Qlinks. I will try to find it for argument's sake. However, they are '09's, as pointed out by a 'source.' Actually, the same anonymous, secret source from CCW mentioned to me that they are considering the 200cc engine for the Hooligun if there is not a huge demand to justify the premium of the 250cc engine over the 200. So, all might not be lost as far as getting the Suzuki DR200 cloned engine, or we can consider it a loss as a 250cc engine is such as natural for the Qingqi bike--especially in motard form.

Thanks for providing the link, Culcune. I am glad to see the Qingqi 200cc bikes are still available for sale in the United States. I like the Qingqi dash much better than the QLink dash.



As you can see, the Qingqi dash has a trip odometer, large tachometer, and digital gear indicator.

When directly searching the BuyATVsCheap website, I can't find any bikes listed other than dirt bikes. :? Do you know why this is so?

P.S. How long is the tail of a Zong (Dragon)? :?:

Q's have digital gear indicators 8) . That does look like a better dash overall though. I like the trip meter.

With the PP400 I go off memory. Last filled up at 825 miles... :roll:

Thank you for correcting my error, Brother Bill. I forgot the QLink bikes have a digital gear indicator. :oops: I also really like the large tachometer on the Qinggi dash.

Can't afford it. Spending all my money on radiator hose. :(

Hey DOC - I just found this on ebay if you want another! Good Price right?

[FastDoc]

Nice. Good price. The rear fuel tank sure looks odd though.

[JTCAndrew]

I didn't even see that tank.....I agree I don't like it.....But then again if you could take it off and on easily it would be ok for long adventure jonts.

[SpudRider]

I don't like the auxiliary fuel tank, either. 8O However, it's not included with the bike. That looks like a pretty good deal, Andrew.

[FastDoc]

A better deal than even a new Q/Shineray 250.

This kinda proves the point that when you are in the 2-3K bracket for a CB, go used Japanese!
