New motard joining the ranks.
New to sitting above the cagers, not new to two wheels. Look forward to lending a helpful keyboard and possibly a helping hand now and then.

Welcome to the forum. Very nice bike! A watercooled 250? Is it 5 or 6 speeds?

Welcome!
That is one of the coolest China bikes I've seen so far.

Sorry guys
its a water cooled 250 with 6 speed. 249cc to quote the tag. Supposedly 24hp with a top speed around 80. No speedo or tail light at the moment so no real road speed tests as of yet. With lots of effort i have gotten the seat height down to about 34.5". This thing is a giant! Lol |

Traded for it used. Was rod ehard & put up wet. Most the left side plastic is broke, missing the speedometer. The kid i traded with bought the bike for $700 about 2 weeks before we traded.
Im in central Texas, drove 115 miles to do the trade in Dallas area. |

The first one is with dual sport wheels. Second is the model I have with black plastic.

The idea for these bikes for Qlink was probably the same idea they had for the XF200 (motard) and XP200 (dual sport) but for giants!
