The new kid in the forum
Hi,
I am new in this forum and hope I can contribute as well. I have a vento mountrack 2006 which is the same as songzhen sierra. I bought it about 3 months ago with more than 25 k miles and really love it since I have no problem so far. Here in Mexico is not common the vento mountrack only the Italika. I picked this bike since Yamaha, Honda and Kawas are very expensive (I payed 1k dlls). I will post some pics as soon as I can. Cheers |

Welcome; we are glad you joined us.
![]() ![]() Indeed, my Zongshen 200GY-2 is the same as your Vento Mountrack, and it is an excellent little motorcycle. I have ridden my Zong over 61,000 miles (982,000 kilometers), and it is still running great! ![]() ![]() http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=6051 We eagerly await photographs of your bike! We love photos. ![]()

Welcome! Where in Mexico are you? I see a few Italikas of Mexican commuters where I live in Yuma, Arizona, near the border.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. I live in Chihuahua, Mx and only ride the vento less than 1 mile a day (Mon-Fri). Ocasionaly, ride the vento 40 miles when commuting from the city to my office (my work is 20 miles commuting but we have a designated vehicle for commuting). I have been reading the threats about the yamazong (mainly posted by Spud) and have learned a lot. I was gonna post some pics but not have idea how to do it. I will figure out how to do it

Not sure but hopefully this is the link for my album. I will fix the gas tank cover and replace the small tool box by a pvc pipe big enough to hold the fix-a-flat can and some tools in case of emergency. If you can´t see the album, please let em know.
Saludos |

Culcune I live in Chihuahua, Mx (about 4 hours from El Paso, Tx). I lived for 7 years in Las Cruces, NM while studying the master´s and doctorate studies. I bought the vento mainly for commuting 40 miles (round trip) when needed and obviously for saving money in gas when riding around the city. I am planning to modify the vento but I only can make it on weekends (the wife and kids are jealous of time I spend on it).
Saludos Saludos |

Now that you have a Photobucket account, you can easily post photos on these forums.

That is a very nice bike. You can learn anything you wish about it in Spud's threads.
