What is it....really?

[2LZ]

Last night, I was enjoying a cold Miller Lite at my workbench....listening to some old southern rock. The weather was perfect. I looked up at my collection of manuals and reading material and thought, "There's no better time than the present to get a chuckle out of reading my poorly translated new China bike owners manual." I have really yet to do it....so I started leafing through it.

One of the things that has always been a question is "What is it....really?"
I've always refered to my new bike as a Lifanoid, (I won't tell you everyone really calls it) a term I picked up here. Seemed to fit. It's a Honda clone, looks like a Lifan but probably isn't one....or who really knows?
I do know that both mellisann's and my bike are listed as X-moto's on the origin cert.....and are identical with the exception of the forks. I always figured that X-moto was the importer of the 'seemingly generic' China bike and nothing more.

After reading the first few pages of the manual enjoying phrases like, "Thank you for your purchasing motorcycle" and other gems, I hit the warranty. My eyes just about bugged out of my head! :o
Here is a manual, for my exact bike....pictures and all. It says:

"In the interests of reliability and safety, you are advised to have your machine serviced at the specific intervals by an appointed Zongshen dealer...." It goes on to say, "Your Zongshen dealer will arrange to deliver your machine to a CBT centre if required."

Could this be true????? 8O Could my Lifanoid/X-moto/Honda clone really be a Zong? Have I woken up this morning, being unknowingly sucked into the Cult? :?
