Welcome to these forums; we are glad you joined us!

I live in Idaho, so I am not familiar with any dealers of Chinese motorcycles in Northeast Pennsylvania. However, many of us bought our bikes from internet dealers. I bought my bike from a private importer in Seattle, and had it shipped to me in Idaho.

Most Chinese, dual sport motorcycles have 200cc engines. However, the following vendors are selling bikes with 250cc engines.

This one looks a little beat up...but clean lightly used china bikes exist and usually sell "right" around 500-1000 depending. Price of new seems to have gone through the roof lately IMO?

Nice looking bike! Must be from Australia though, it seems to defy gravity!

I got my Qlink XF200 from Hy-Pro Scooters (http://www.hyproscooters.com/). They are in Pittsburgh. I was out there on business and took a look at it, then had it shipped later (I am in the Philadelphia suburb area).

Not too many physical dealers for these bikes anymore. Craigslist might be a good bet, but you have to do your homework to make sure you are getting something decent.

I agree with the others. The current crop of new Chinese motorcycles is greatly overpriced. :( I suggest you look for a slightly used chinabike in the $500-$1,000 price range. The QLink bikes are a good value if you can buy one for less than $2,000, OTD (out-the-door). Once the price approaches $2,000, you are wiser to look for good deals on slightly used, Japanese motorcycles.

Never heard of them before, but might be worth a look. The prices they have listed are MSRP, I think. I don't know if the XF/XP are really 2012 or older leftovers, or if they are just listing them on their website to pique interest.
