If anyone is interested there is an XRanger for sale on rebay. Hurry it looks like someone is going to get a great deal.

the X-ranger is a re-badged Zongshen Sierra, which a past member bought over a year ago and detailed on a thread "the good, the bad, ..." Member PolygonFLa has the Zongshen version. As 'Catastrophix' pointed out, this is a Qingqi-based bike, which he and some other Swedish members own and have vouched for the quality of.

Your new purchase, which I ribbed you on the other thread (I should have read through here before giving you a hard time as you did give us a little advance notice, besides the fact that Wisconsin is way too far for me to get to with little notice) is going to give you superb performance. If the price is right, I would still like to get hold of one of the X-rangers, but the XF200 looks mighty tempting.

I might have an accident appear in my garage too.

I found a GY150 for $500 with under 100 miles.

You never know where the next deal will pop up! Even an accidental one. My wife has enough faith in me to know that whatever I decide to do with the QLink, I can make money on it. If I decide to keep the bike. I'll save some money in fuel and I have plenty to sell to pay for it. She's seen me do it before! Numerous times!

This bike gives us a chance to get away alone together for a day or so. That's important too! I just used the situation to my advantage.

Thanks, madmaximum we'll be safe. I'm thinking about renting a van for $19.95 a day to drive up and back. That will save the wear and tear on my Jeep.

I found my Chinabike on ebay by accident. It was only 5 miles from my work and it was a Tank Trail 200 with 2.9 km on the odometer for $500 "buy it now".

I rode the QingQi super motard version yesterday. I had ridden my Tank up to the dealership to ask about the non-existent parts supply from Tank and was checking out this new bike he had. Looks very nice! Nice gauges. Suspension is rather soft. The motor was very smooth, smoother than the Tank I was riding. Not as powerful either. The Tank has had the clip trick done to it. I asked the dealer if this had the counter balanced motor, he didn't know. It was that smooth. The bike handled pretty good, the street tires inspired more confidence than my tank. It seemed very easy to throw into a curve. It was a fun ride. If it just had a little more power.

I see extrememotorsales now has this bike for $2199 shipped. It appears that they have become a Qlink dealer.

where do you live, and who did you buy it from? You do realize, you are the guinea pig, and we will be living vicariously through you and your xf200?!
