If you drive to Phoenix, please bring your camera, Culcune. We would love to see photos, and get a first-hand impression regarding these bikes.

However, this bike definitely has a Honda cloned engine. I hope someone can give us a personal report on these bikes; they look very promising.

I should have mentioned that when I spoke with the sales guy yesterday, he said their '8' used to have very "thin" tires and looked awkward...now it comes with a bigger rear tire (which I interpret as ala Zongshen GY-2); but definitely comes with the standard Honda-cloned engine; the 163 FML version.

That would be a pretty far trip to Phoenix for you just to check out the bikes.

The store in Phoenix that Massimo told me to contact since they ordered a few of the 2f's has not answered the phone since last week! I then tried to email them and something was wrong, too (it is one of those form submissions, not an email), and wouldn't go through. Not sure I will deal with them; not because I find them way too difficult to get hold of, but because they have no way to get hold of them!!??

I found another posted chinese video of the 150 version (I think):
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjUzMzA2NjA4.html

It explains the "features" (if you speak Chinese).

My wife ordered the Yingang yg200-2f for me yesterday from Massimo (that's what true love is all about!). Should be in next week. I'll keep everyone updated with pics!

That's what I think as well. A very utilitarian bike. 8)

It really looks like a good commuter bike. Large rack and crash bar.

I agree! I really like the agricultural versions of the dual sport bikes, and I wish more were available for sale in the United States. We eagerly await your photos!
