Yes, they have a facility in Debica on the Wistoka river.
I enjoy instructing people what to do when they do not know what to do.
Romet should distribute for SWM...
I noticed on the EPA certification list that Shineray received certification for one of their bikes on the 2016 list. I wonder if the bike will actually come here? The two models listed are the XY 400 and the XY 400 GY

Its not encouraging that Genuine has not advertised these bikes yet.
Shineray has a new website, the site has a bunch of bugs.
Also their sales have dropped by 65% from last year as of June 2016. They fell from the 22nd largest producer in 2012 to the position of 40th.
They altered their copy of the Yamaha Tricker, maybe to avoid conflicts and to make it more their own?

Their Tricker is their entry level enduro, they also modified the design of the X2 as well.

It seems that they decided to focus on key segments, they added the Yorker to their retro line to maintain offerings at entry level.

They have three categories, SWM is one and within it they list only the 650. Which seems to hint they intend to offer these in the Chinese market?

For the entry level EU market SWM will be offer the once Husqvarna, as their SWM SM125R and ES125.

I think they've changed their Tricker to avoid conflict with Yamaha, especially where both bikes get to be exported (e.g.: Russia). As for the website, yeah, it needs a lot of optimization and doesn't scale well in Safari.
What touched me most was the "Scranbler"

I wonder how much effort it would have been to ask a local laogai to proofread the bike names at least...
And then there is this irrevocably happy couple against the background of a rotting CG or a CG clone.

I wonder how much effort it would have been to have someone with a bit of photographic knowledge take pics for the website...
Steve I think that is a daughter and father and they are attempting to capture the change in a generation?
