dual sport availability

[vomitis]

Hello everyone, needing some info on where i could buy a new dual sport.
I want a zongshen sierra or a tmec 200 enduro. I've called and/or emailed several companies that has them on there website with no response save for three supersportz, valley scooters, and gekgo.
I haven't tried scooterdepot, bad reveiws made me leary plus i don't care much for their choices. Of the three that got back to me said they don't haved any anymore. Is it that hard to update a website. :x
Anyway thanks for any info

I would also like to know who I can check to purchase another dual. I have two sons that are Interested and also my daughter desires one.

BTW I bought two Hondoids from Scooter Depot a few years ago and I would have rated their service as 'good'.

I'm sorry to report the chinabike vendors are notorious for bad website maintenance. :roll: I encourage you to keep looking; you will probably find some suitable bikes for sale. We will be glad to help you evaluate any deals you might find. However, I don't think you will have much luck finding a Zongshen 200GY-2. These bikes are no longer manufactured, and used ones are hard to find. :( I think you will have better luck finding a Honda clone, such as the TMEC 200.

PITSTER PRO is offering the Galaxy 250 XTR in the US. This is not the Qingqi-based XTR 200 and XTR 250 offered in Canada. On the non-North American based forum, www.mychinamoto.com there are a few reviews and discussions about the Galaxy from Chinese-based expats who own and ride them. They seem intriguing as a higher quality alternative, but retail for about twice the price.

Any luck with used bikes on CL in your area?

Anything used in my area is junk, or priced same as new.
I found a yingang on safer wholesale that I liked and ordered.
That was the Dec. 27. Got a email today saying they don't have them. Long story there.
Wanted to upgrade me to a 250 dong fang dual sport. Rather silly looking IMO, Are they any account? Or should this be asked in different thread?

If you search the Street Forum you will find many reports concerning the DF Bobber. Here is just one example.

A new batch of TMEC 200's should be arriving in February. If you read my kind of lengthy post about my visit with Wade Liu, the owner of Excalibur Motorsports, they will pretty much become the importer and distributor for TMEC since TMEC Power USA (or whatever they were called) closed their US office. Next week, he is flying to China to oversee the container load of TMEC bikes being made for him. Due to popular request, the majority will come with 21" front/18" rear dual-sport wheel/tires rather than the 17" motard setup that most came with. A few even had 17" front/rear knobbies, but I doubt there will be many this time around. Oh, and I just remembered; he said they won't have the huge 'TMEC' and '200' and 'ENDURO' decals on them, because he thinks they are too big. Not sure if they will be deleted or just added on as smaller.

Do you know what they will be priced at?

If you have to ask, then....

Actually, that is a good question since we never discussed that. I would hope that since Supersportz lost out on the TMEC distributor, Excalibur would sell to them, and that will keep the price down-ish (heavy volume). I would also think with the tax increases, there will be less $$ to throw around, and these will have to keep the line on price.

What has the TMEC 200 sold for in the past?

I forget; if you search this forum you might find a price. I seem to remember the TMEC 200 sold for $1,100-$1,400, delivered.

I went ahead with the 250 upgrade that i was offered. I'm about to be going back to work soon and won't have much time to be going back and forth on things.
If, and thats a big if, it pans out I'll post pictures and hopefully a video on youtube. Since there is nothing out there as far as pics and videos go.
Who knows I might actually like it, if not i have a few buyers already.
S**t happens

There is a lengthy thread about the Dong Fang bobber on mychinamoto.com

As far as the TMEC, Mr. Liu had already flown to China. The sales guy at Excalibur told me that the new dual sports will be the new generation, and will be a little different in looks.
