Question

Does anyone know anything about this Motorcycle? Top speed, MPG, engine life expectancy etc.?

Answer 1

Agree w/ the "No Chinese" crowd. There are probably a few decent Chinese brands coming over but you've no idea what kind of company you're dealing with, no idea what kind of history this model/engine/brake has, and no chance of finding a mechanic or parts for the bike. Zongshen is one of the few that have a tiny established base, but I would wait quite a few years before buying into any Chinese motorcycles.



So yeah, you'll save cash and the bike will run fine at first, but then you're likely on your own with very well could be a pile of junk.

Answer 2

I realize this looks like a good deal to someone that is unfamiliar with motorcycles, and those are the only people buying these bikes. You can pick up a nice low mileage Ninja 250 used for around the same price and it will last you 10 times longer than this bike. My biggest concerns would be reliability and parts availability. Who even knows if this company will be around a few years from now. But that is your decision to make. To answer your other two questions, I would guess top speed is around 70 - 90 and MPG is in the 60 -70 range.

Answer 3

The site was dead. Lafan{sp} makes an okay small bike that runs quite well. When buying this chinese equipment you just have to make sure to go through everything before riding.
