Welcome to chinariders . That looks like a lifanoid bike to me . i have to say ,i had not seen one with the 16/19 wheel combo . most are 18/21 . from the site you supplied 200-3 maybe it's a 200gy-3 gy-2 and gy-5 is what we see here most . I'd say not to much different other than the wheel sizes . You picked a great place here to find info and help , you may have noticed how vigilantly helpful all have been to me .

CR, you essentially got a 2010, Yamaha TW200 for about 1/4-1/3 of the Yamaha price.

Change your oil frequently, and check your valve adjustments, and the Zong will give you many miles of enjoyment.

I speak from personal experience; I am getting very close to 25,000 miles on my Zong's odometer.

the resource of spud ... through this forum, is one of the main reasons I started looking at zongs lol I figure if something goes wrong at least I know someone who can help even if it is via forum. Thanks for the welcome (everyone!)

MICRider · 04-27-2010, 09:07 PM

Welcome

. They are cool machines aren't they? I would have bought a Zong if they sold them here, love the looks of them. Pretty hard to beat the smiles per mile of a chinese bike

I am glad I helped you, Melissann.

I enjoy hearing from people who benefited from my posts.

Welcome melissann!

Wow, three pages of new stuff since I logged on at Noon! You're a popular new member.

Whether or not your existing bike is a Lifan, it is what we affectionately refer to as a Lifanoid (I think Doc coined that one), meaning a cloned Honda engine. Then there's the Q (or Konker) which is a Suzuki clone and the beloved Zong which is a well cloned Yamaha. I haven't encountered any other clones out there, just different flavours of these three.

Yes, van seats are heavy. I recommend the Dodge Caravan with the stow-and-go seating. Awesome.

culcune · 04-27-2010, 11:05 PM

I see that you're in Payson. I live in the bowels of AZ, aka, Yuma 8O If you want to sell your bike before your move, let me know.

Xmoto is a sub-brand of Shineray--Shineray OEM's for several brands. It's a shame that Shineray haven't been too active with their own bikes as they have a really cool-looking touring off-roader, based on the Australian agriculture bikes, or "ag-bikes" and a water-cooled 250 dirt bike, enduro, and motard, although now that Pitster Pro carries a 250 water-cooled enduro and motard of their own, and Galaxy is theoretically bringing in some mid-level bikes, there is not a big desire to get the Shineray bikes, so at least we can still get their GY200's. BTW, the 250 Xmoto bikes look like Frankenstein monsters 8O 8O but are cool in their own ugly way!!

FastDoc · 04-27-2010, 11:42 PM

I've actually been in Payson. On a flight along Route 66 through Arizona and Kalifornia. Beautiful place. Bet it's nice to ride a dual sport there!

SpudRider · 04-27-2010, 11:58 PM

Thank you for posting another nice, aerial photo, Doc.

Welcome melissann! I also have the same bike....papered as an Xmoto. The only difference I see is the forks. Same, exact everything else.
Love mine also!
