New 250cc enduro
What do you guys think of this? Not sure of the manufacturer, but the engine is Loncin.
http://www.chinariders.net/gallery2/...g2_itemId=7707 here is the minimal amount of info available-- 250cc Air Cool; Invert Adjustable Front Shock; Air Bag Rear Shock; Aluminum Rim; Rear Swing Arm This bike is in the US as of now. As soon as I get more info; i.e. price, specs, etc. will let everyone know.

OK, this bike is a "Zhejiang" The only problem with this name is that it is like calling a bike a "Chongqing."
From what I can tell, like the Chongqing area of China that manufactures all kinds of bikes, and specializes in the GY, the Zhejiang area seems to specialize in the Hummer. There are dozens of companies from Zhejiang with Zhejiang in their name, and all seem to have Hummers of some sort--this bike is obviously from the same "stock" but does seem to be slightly more comfortable than the off-road only Hummer, and is more than a Hummer with a street kit bolted on. The other problem is the wholesale price would put this right around the $2000 range retail--slightly expensive considering that for about half, one can get a Hi-bird 250 (manufactured in Chongqing, ). I would like to get hold of one for "evaluative purposes" (C'mon, being the owner/moderator of 'Jetmotogroup' should get me at least a wholesale price on bikes to evaluate them!) However, I do have a lead in to wholesale prices on Hi-Bird 250/Komoto 250's, so that is more realistic for me right now.

Can you help others get a Komoto 250 for cheap too? I think that's the one for me. With the Hi-Bird a close 2nd. Need the higher weight capacity of the Komoto. Or is that BS?
