Qlink is closing shop in the US

According to a 'source' (very reliable source who stated he spoke with one of the last of 3 employees) Qlink is closing its doors for good! Hopefully SSR will continue bringing in the 200 and 250 enduros, and I did ask the 'source' to consider bringing in the XF/XP line as their own bike as a premium offering to their lower end 200 enduro...

This sucks but is not unexpected. Another wasted opportunity. On the bright side his may be a chance to see if Andy can score some cheap leftover Q's

Figures. One of the finest China bikes to land on NA shores, and it's gone. I blame greed.

I agree.

That and the flood of new-ish used japanese bikes on the market at fairly low prices.

The 200cc Qlinks seem to be pretty solid motorcycles. And there was an online review here:

http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...iew-88669.html

They don't rave about the bike, but it gets a good review I think. You don't see a lot of China bikes getting reviewed at more main line websites and magazines.

Sorry to hear this about Qlink. I think JP Motorsports in San Diego is/was a good reliable dealer for them too.
