Need a honest opinion qlink x-ranger

johnjagz28 · 06-04-2008, 11:52 PM

I have a lead on a qlink x-ranger. It is a 2006 with 40 miles for $1800 already is titled in my state. So is this a good deal. And how is this brand. I heard lifan is pretty much the best. I am not really sure what one to buy. Help a.s.a.p would be great.

$1800 is way too much. $1000 would be more realistic.

That particular bike is okay, but does not share alot of the same parts as the rest of the china bikes. It has a yamha clone engine and odd tire sizes.

So would i be better off getting a new lifan for $1300 or a hi-bird for $1200 i also seen the roketa for $1200 at a motorcycle shop. I mean what is the best one out there.

katoranger · 06-05-2008, 12:47 AM

I would go for one of those bikes before the Qlink. Parts will be easier to locate.

Also how are the roketas. I need to buy soon. They only have 2 left.

katoranger · 06-05-2008, 12:50 AM

The roketas have a good rep here. They seem to hold up well.

katoranger · 06-05-2008, 12:53 AM

The hibird from vbike.us has a good rep with a good dealer support.

Roketa have been good bikes here. Fatboy has almost 15K on his.

The roketa for $1200 at the local dealer sounds pretty good to me.

I had been in contact with my nearest Qlink dealer (JP motorpsorts in San Diego) several months ago trying to buy the new XF200 (never came to fruition) However, the dealer said nothing but good things about the XF200, and they sold like hotcakes to prove it, but did say that the XR200 wasn't a good bike, in his opinion (and I am sure it was honesty, not just to sell me the new model) due to the amount of warranty work they have had to do on the XR200. Stay away, in my opinion, especially at $1800 used and go towards the other brands you mentioned.

katoranger · 06-05-2008, 09:45 AM

The XF200 is the better bike with the suzuki engine.

I would go check out the $1200 Roketa that was local. Purchase on a contingent that you can get it tagged. If the seller won't do that then move on.

Like everyone else said, $1,800 is far too much for a QLink. $800 would be more realistic if it is a used bike, or $1,000 new. vbikes would be the site I'd recommend since the prices are good and everyone who has purchased from them seems satisfied.

Dragon · 06-05-2008, 03:37 PM

If my memory serves, Qlink enduros have full frame and fancy CV carburetor, and a brand new one cost over two grand. So, $1800 is reasonable for a used bike with only 40 miles on it, assuming it's put together properly. I wanted a XF200 ($2200), but the nearest dealer is 300 miles away. I got a Hi Bird instead. If there is a Qlink dealer nearby who can provide parts, I would have gotten it instead.

katoranger · 06-05-2008, 04:37 PM

The x-ranger is one of the earlier bikes and was okay, but not worth $1800. The xf200 is the much nicer bike with the full frame and better carb. It may be worth $1800.

A 250 cc komoto chongqing hi-bird bla bla bla. Im in ohio but has a oklahoma title noterized in hand. Bike has 30 miles with a new $80 battery (heard that was a big issue with china bikes). Guy is moving out of state in 2 weeks. Wants $1400 for it but advised him. I can get a new one for $1195 shipped to my door. So he will let me have it for $1200. I have less then 11 hours to choose this or a new 2008 200cc roketa for $1400. WHAT DO I DO. And on that qlink x-ranger. I called the main place in texas. And they discontinued that model. And they dont make parts for it anymore. And i called a dozen dealers and none can get parts for it. Pretty crappy for a 2006.....

iMoose · 06-06-2008, 12:33 AM

Buy the Komoto, and quick! People have been having trouble finding them in stock. But that's just my opinion, I don't have one. But I will!

Well, bad on QLINK for not supporting the product they imported, but...the bike is actually a rebranded Zongshen Sierra and they're still very much in production and for sale down at your local Zongshen dealer and around the world. The engine is supposed to be a copy of the Yamaha TW200 mill, but I have no idea what if any parts are interchangeable.
