Qlink has an interesting-looking line-up

They have added a motard-y looking bike, and a naked and full-fairing 250 sport bike, and a 400cc scooter. Not sure who manufactures their Magelli lineup, but they still offer the XF and XP200 motard/dual-sport bikes.

More interesting offering worth a look!

I'm came real close to buying the XP200. In person they look pretty high quality. The other bikes in the lineup look nice as well.

I like that Legacy bike. Someone in town here has one but I have never been able to get a close up look at it.

The XP/XF are very good Chinese dual sports, if not the best. The Chinese maufacturer, Qingqi, is the OEM for Suzuki's DR200, so you are getting a near-Suzuki bike for half the price (there are some variations, but overall, the people who purchased the XF/XP's seem happy with them). The MSRP went from $2099 a couple years ago, to $2800 the last year or so, but is back down to $2095, interestingly enough, while the new Magelli is listed at an MSRP of $2900.

Randy, the Legacy is also sold as the CFMoto (actually, CFMoto is the manufacturer-I bet you wished you bought one of those than all the crap you had to do for your Tank!). It is a scooter/motorcycle hybrid as it is automatic. Qlink also re-badged CFMoto's other automatic bike, but seems to have dropped it, as well as dropping their Legend 250 (the classic, manual-shifted bike).

The Magelli line-up is actually a European company. Of course they claim they are manufactured in the UK, using Taiwanese/Chinese/etc. parts, but they are probably manufactured in China. Still an intriguing lineup added to Qlink!

I like the 250r, but the MSRP is only $500 less than a Ninja 250. 8O :?

I can't see many people paying that for a "near-Suzuki" bike. Not until the Ninja is closer to $5k....

I wonder how many FX-3 300's Pag has sold w/ a MSRP only $600 less than the Ninja.

Oh well...
I guess if they want to price themselves out of a market, that's their choice. Damn shame though.

yea... the Tank caused me plenty of electrical problems, havent had any lately, so I hope I am over the hump...
I like the enclosed look of the legacy, also the auto transmission is interesting. I wouldnt mind getting one of those for my girlfriend since she has a tough time comprehending the shifting technique....

A friend of mine from church has the Qlink Legacy bike, and he loves it. I have ridden his Legacy, and it is a nice little motorcycle.

Here is a video on youtube of someone who bolted a camera on his Megelli motard, the 125cc version that is sold in Europe. Seems to have decent power for a 125, so I anticipate the 250 will have a better power to weight ratio.
