Which tachometer do i need to buy?

Hi
I decided to buy a electronic tachometer for my Zongshen 200gy-2.
I read,these tachometers had 3 wires,one 12 volt positive wire, one ground wire and one wire that connects to coil. So it is possible to install electronic tach to my zongshen???
If it is, which tach do i need to buy, one with max. 8000rpm like here , or one with 10 000rpm like here ??? What is the redline rpm of my bike?
Thanks for your answers

I know the redline is more the 8K, I think about 9500rpm. Those tachs there may not work unless they are built to work with a single cylinder engine.

I you want a better option look at the trailtech products. http://trailtech.net/ They have computers that give you lots of options.

I typically run about 8K rpm at 65mph.

The trailtechs are very nice and tach gets it reading from the spark plug wire or from the coil wire depending on how you to hook it up.

When we hooked up the trailtech vapor on my wifes quad I couldnt get a good reading very easily but after several different tries I got it to work just fine.

Max HP on the 200cc engines is developed at 8000 rpm. No need to rev past there.

8k is about all my bike will pull in 5th gear. I looked and redline is 10,500.
