Authorized Lifan Dealers

[culcune]

Have you checked out Endless Journey Cycles in Mantua (not sure how close or far that is to you). Bruce is the owner and is competent with American Lifan as he is an authorized dealer; it would be worth the time to speak with him.

its all in what suits you as far as prices there's not enough price diffrence to warrent a lot of worries. i would find a real dealer and pay what little diffrence its better to spend a couple of hundred extra to go through a dealer and make sure you get a title. there is a lot of headache to be a legal dealer but for the buyer its much safer. second the tires are the down side to riding the zong off road. there are more on the way (supposedly) zong isnt that bad to deal with, and lastly you could get them through me cost is a little issue, but i did get them lowered, and have them in stock but i would look in person first, at all the options and one other option its late in the season a few companies will be introducing 400cc models next year

don't forget that the qlink 2008 xp200 is still going for a good price too. :wink:

First of all, welcome to these forums!

If you are mainly going to use this new motorcycle to explore dirt roads, and you are not intent on tearing up the hillsides, you have quite a few good options to choose from. If you prefer a lower seat height, you then have fewer choices.

Yes, the Zong’s engine, carburetor, and airbox are essentially the same components you would find on a Yamaha TW200 motorcycle.

I wonder if the wheel is interchangeable? Spud?

The stock Zongshen Sierra 200GY-2 uses a Kawasaki Eliminator BN125 rear hub, with slightly different spoke holes/spokes.

Here's another idea. If you aren't interested in tearing up the hillsides, you just might want to check out the Hensim 250 enduro being sold by V-bike.
