New Zongshen 200GY-2 Bikes: $1,499, Delivered
This website is advertising my Zonghsen 200GY-2 motorcycle for $1.499, with free shipping. That's a good deal. I wonder if this vendor actually has any bikes in stock?
http://www.about-china-atvs.com/zongshen-sierra.html I can't determine where this vendor is located. He provides only an email address to contact him. :roll: I sent him an email asking for his location. I hope this deal is not too good to be true. I will report if, and when, I receive a reply to my email. Spud

If he actually has the bikes that is an excellent deal, especially with the free shipping!

If that deal is for real it is excellent.
If I had the time, money, and space (I don't) I'd buy one just to have for when I needed it. OR buy it at keep it at Spud's. I could ride it when visiting, PLUS he'd Spudify it while I was gone! LOL! 8) If that's for real and they have them in stock everyone's "What should I buy" question is clearly answered. :P

So far I haven't received a reply to my email. However, the vendor says he will reply within 24 hours, and that amount of time has not expired. It's hard to believe there is still a stock of 2006 bikes left; however, it's possible. We will see what transpires.

That's tantamount to teasing Canadians.

I'd love to get a Zong engine in the crate to save for my TW, for when it finally grenades.

A Yamaha, XT225 engine would bolt right into my Zong's frame, and the sprockets would align. Therefore, I really should keep my eyes open for a good deal on slightly used, XT225 engine. Spud

When I was a lad, I had a TS100 (still have it), and it was incapable of pulling the front wheel. My buddy had a TS125, and that made all the difference. I could carry the front wheel through second gear. I recognize that was a 25% increase in displacement, but 12.5% would still be noticeable.

The TW200 guys are always making modifications to their bikes. However, I never heard of anyone putting the TW200 countershaft into an XT225 engine. I might be wrong, but I seem to remember it won't work. I do know the XT225 has a 6-speed transmission, and the XT200/TW200/Zongshen engine has a 5-speed transmission. :?

I haven't received an email from the vendor. I guess I am not surprised. :roll: I doubted any surplus, 2006 Zongs were still available in the United States. :( I wonder why people keep outdated websites in operation? :?:

To torture Chinariders, of course. :roll:

I'd like to see Zongshen America import the ZS150-GY10 motorcycle owned by forum member Jeremy in the Philippines. However, I don't believe that bike is arriving in the United States in the foreseeable future. :roll: I must infer Zongshen America is downsizing. :? Our forum members who bought Zongs for $1,000, delivered, got fantastic deals, which will probably never be repeated.

Think of all the guys in 1958 who bought leftover '57 Chevys. :wink:

So, the Zong Sierra is the '57 Chev of the China bike world? Ok, I'll buy that.
