Thoughts on that?
The concern is that you have nothing left to accelerate away from trouble. That was Doc's unfortunate experience.

I like my china bike but personally I feel that the reason there is no youtube videos of them doing big awesome jumps is that they would likley snap in half upon landing without some sort of heavy reinforcment. Just my opinion.

You will definitely place yourself at serious risk if you ride one of these 200cc, 4-stroke motorcycles on limited access highways. I encourage you to read the last few posts in the following thread.

That is an interesting way to transport you bike.

Doc, has already been hit and others have had close calls. I only got on a limited access highway once. That was enough.

We are not talking about 55mph roads, but the ones with 60 and 65mph speed limits.

Just Be sure you can get it through customs !!

[quote=PS LOVE the Qlink, that think looks awesome, yet again though, youtube vids with no real "riding" in em C'mon I wanna see a wheel or jump or something [/quote]

Ok no Wheelies or Jumps in this one But It is a "Riding Video" - LOL





Oooops almost forgot this one:



I only have 28 Miles on her Still taking things easy Breaking her in - But yeah I'd like to see some more riding videos myself of the Qlink - The ones I have seen are not actually "Qlinks"

I really want a GoPro Cam to get some good riding Videos.

Here's a link to just one of my riding events, if you want to see an old guy riding a china bike.



It's heavily edited, but fun. (I cut out the fallover in the mud) Just a bit of mud riding and a drive by.

Once my upgrades are done I'm hoping to have more videos and some showing of the space between the ground and me.

Loved it! The soundtrack was perfect.

EPA

Hummmmmmmm so it looks like the EPA thing might make this a bit more difficult. Anyone know what the deal is with getting around this? Perhaps take it to emissions? etc? What can a guy do?

Needs to be EPA certified by the manufacturer. It won't get through customs without it.

Buy whats compatible and Available - Qlink, and I'm sure the other guys here can name alot more bikes that are really great and have a proven history. It's a nice looking bike and all but is it really worth all the hassle? You'll end up having parts issues etc.....Get one that has a proven history.
Sorry just my 2 cents - Sounds like your about to give yourself a major headache just trying to figure out how to actually get one! AGAIN is it worth it?

Nother possible Bike

Did some searching around, found another really cool Motard. Its made by Apollo/Orion Its called the 36-RX Xtreme. Looks amazing, and best part is its EPA certified. Anyone seen herd etc about these?
