New XF200 owner

[SpudRider]

I like your new tail light, DM. I don't know why the manufacturers insist on hanging those ugly "tails" off the rear fenders of motorcycles. :roll: The rear end of you bike looks much better, now that the "tail" has been "bobbed." If you're pretty confident you won't be moving the Polisport tail light to a different bike, I would also "bob" that "tail."

The xf 200 by qlink is a great bike. Am thinking of getting the mt250 in the future if it becomes available here in the Philippines. I think the xf 200 is what is known here as the grx 200 by CPI motors. My brother has one and we have ridden together on several occasions. Great handling and power. My ride is the moto r 155cc motard by zongshen.

Is the Q Link a 200 dual sport??---If so how much do they cost new??---Can they qualify for Cal registration??---Thanks

Yes, it's a DS bike, but I'm unsure if they're CA-legal. Perhaps some Zong owners will chime in.

It's one of the finest DS bikes ever made, IMHO.

The QLink XF200 is a supermoto. The QLink XP200 is a dual sport bike. Both QLink bikes are great little motorcycles, and they can be registered in California. About 18 months ago the XF200 bikes were being sold for $1,500, delivered. 8O You won't find prices that low now that the surplus stock of the bikes has been depleted. :(

I think I just answered my own question with this post.

The XF and XP are identical bikes other than the wheels and tires... Supermoto bikes usually have 17 inch wheels front and rear and run street tires. The Dual Sport version runs an 18 inch rear wheel and a 21 inch front wheel shod with DOT knobbies.

I have a Konker (identical to the Q Link) that I bought with the Supermoto 17 inch wheels and I also have a set of the 18 and 21 inch dual sport wheels to go on it, takes about an hour to change them. Here's a pic of it with the dual sport tires mounted and the supermoto wheels leaned up against the ds wheels.


Too bad you didn't live a little closer, I'd sell it to you :wink:
