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. http://www.powersportsmax.com/produc...ducts_id/15878 http://www.saferwholesale.com/250cc-..._d250rte-a.htm You might enjoy reading the following thread. http://www.chinariders.com/modules.p...c8813ef69090c4 Spud

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? |

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.

I noticed these guys advertising on craiglist, just a bit outside philly.
http://www.westchestercycle.com/ seems like they have an assortment of new and used.. prices are a little high, but maybe you can haggle? |
