Looks like something you would see a photo of in China with a load of dead pigs or a wife as a passenger and 4 kids in the trailer :icon10::riding:

How about a load of feral hogs I caught last year out at the Bar None Ranch?Quote:

Just proves East and West people are people no matter the land LOL
Barnone - I saw a documentary about the wild hogs invading a lot of the South West States almost like an infestation
VERY NICE.Quote:

Dude the Boneville SE was one of the bikes I was looking at and still might go for next year or the Thruxton
Triumph have a lineup which would make me nuts if I would chose one from it. Would be far too hard to chose! Triumphs are just *drools* :riding:

Here is a Sanglas, they were a Spanish producer…I think its a good design for the water cooled 250 IMO.
I’ve been thinking about the engines and then what they could be used on.
http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...las/0000_1.jpg
I would say the niche market is not bikes for people that ordinarily cannot afford a new bike….better is a line of limited editions for those that can afford more but are looking for something different. I am a freak and I admit it, but the VIN coding is imperative to keep track of the models and in that offer numerations that offer degrees of exclusivity and in that collect ability.
Lines could be limited to 100, 500 or 1,000 and each owner would know which one they have.
It’s a design and in that a collection of parts and in that specifics that need documentation and ongoing so those that purchasers of them are assured that any spares are and will remain readily accessible in the market.
So you could take a engine and then keep reinventing a model around it, the underpinnings the components may not change that much but the over style could. Once one run is completed the line stops and retools for the next model line.
It would take a design house and in that a group that generated a complete and comprehensive set of digital documents that endured. Accessing it through the VIN number the bike would have its own history and could be displayed in an HTML interface. That originated in alignment with the creation of the design and numerated defined production run.

This one is tough sell...but there is call for a home for the 170mm engine the Megelli did not hit the spot.
The Yingang YG250NF falls short on refinement...the engine needs a home.
That or an old 68 BSA chopped and Bobbed

I think the water cooled 250 could be used in different type models….
I like real different….
The engine is decent and has a six speed so it suitable for many applications.
This is an interesting model a Zaeta 500...but the 250 would fit nicely into such a configuration.

Could be cleaned up and smoothed out like this rendition?

Oberdan Bezzi offered a interesting model line for Beta and I can only wonder if they would have sold? The Beta line includes the Urban and it has a 200cc Qinggi/Suzuki engine I believe...

Man, uh, I can't say how much the design is so very perfect in those bikes I have no words to describe it. Especially the "army" version with knobbies. She have everything right especially colour. So very beautiful! She is your Indian lady comfortable in the woods. I like very much these modern enduros but if I could get that E'trangère I might have to drop a few tears and and leave my Orange. Would be very sad but the new love with E'trangère could possible develop to heights not so very possible with poor Orange...

This is a proposal for a Ducati 450 single….I am so sure the 250 water cooled would fit in that concept so well. Once they can develop a good fuel injection for that engine they can offer it in variety of models. I am primarily interested in smooth consistent power, I would think fuel injection and a six speed should accomplish that?

not that much different.....
ok just got word that the Tha Ace will be around in midsummer. Its a throwback to the standard class

these are all Qingqi clusters....all their models have a indicator

Thanks for sharing those pics MJH. They are from Jiangmen QingQi. I have photo's of all those bikes, but promised QQ I wouldn't put them on the web. They do look nice, although they are pretty small.
Cheers!

We were discussing what the new Qlink enduro will be on chinariders. http://chinariders.net/modules.php?n...wtopic&t=11707 I mentioned the email I got last year showing the new Shineray (as pictured) as being the new XF250 and XP250. Andrew "JTC" on the thread did say he emailed Qlink and got an answer that they will introduce their new bike within a month's time. I was hoping that they would have gotten the Qingqi 250 EPA/DOT certified since it seems that CCW will be using their Lifan 223 cc single in the Qingqi chassis. I have been warming up to that combo, and it would make obvious logistical sense for their dealer network--all their engines are the same, but I still have a soft spot for the Suzuki 250cc having once owned a DR250s in a past life (ok, early 1990's).Quote:

However, I do think that the Qingqi chassis with CCW's proprietary Lifan-sourced 223cc engine makes for an interesting bike. I am impressed that they are CARB approved, since Lifan itself is not, and cannot sell any Lifan products in the state of Confusion, er California.
Yeah, she is very good.Quote:

I would not be surprised to see a 250cc water cooled sport bike come through from them…the Daelim maybe? Which I would say is manufactured by Shineray.
This is really unbelievable. I was neighbors with the family who own this company when I lived in Taiwan in the late 1990s. At that time they were doing mainly light industrial exports from the Chinese mainland to Africa. Amazing that they now are in the motorcycle business! I'll have to reconnect!Quote:

The Ace is going up against the Suzuki TU250X which has sold poorly in the USA and is perceived to be better quality than a Chinese bike.
The Hooligan compares to the Qlink XF200 which I and others bought for $1395 delivered. Granted the Hooligan is a 250cc bike but Qlink has a 250cc XF ready for the market but rumor is Qlink still has quite a few XF200 2009s still in their warehouse. .
IMHO, the Heist is their only viable product and it has a limited market in the USA being a sub 250cc bike (actual 229cc).
The Ace has much more style than the TU. The Heist is gaining interest, although to those who like the bobber style. I think that CCW are selling a lifestyle like Harley, albeit on a smaller scale than Harley. Scooters are still big business, and CCW will appeal to those going into scooter stores to shop, and would rather have a bike (i.e. a first time buyer who wants to buy a scooter, goes to a scooter store, and ends up being extremely drawn towards full-size bikes sitting in the stop).Quote:

Our internet channel has a solid base of viewers who are into old horror movies, and as we hit horror/comic conventions, we find there are multitudes of people into the whole 'retro' scene. In fact, CCW are advertising with us on a trial basis, and their commercials should be airing beginning this weekend. I am trying to set up a cross-promotion where they send bikes with us to the conventions, as I bet there are people who attend who did not even realize they wanted a scooter or bike!
As far as costs go, I do think we will have a wait and see with the price of the Hooligun. Keep in mind that the Hooligun is a 2011 model, while the Qlinks are 2009s. I do believe the $1400 XF/XP days are over with, commesurate with the increasing cost of fuel. Qlink will probably toy with the idea of a near $4k machine with the water-cooled XF/XP 250's, but that is due to them having a dealer network (read: financing which is why we have $6k Yamaha 250 enduros), before they have to reduce the price like they did with their XF/XP 200's. Since we never did see the Shinerays this way when they were first introduced 2 or 3 years ago, I am hoping they are reliable like the Pitsters or even the Qingqi 200's they replace. If the engine is in fact Loncin-sourced, then that should not be an issue as we have seen them here via the Pitsters.
The hooligan will have the Qingqi 250....that's already been covered.
I hope this remains true, MJH! Their photos show what is sold in Europe and here (with the captions stressing this difference below the slideshow of the Hooligun). The one they show as being for the US does not look like a Suzuki-based Qingqi engine. Perhaps, in the near future, they will introduce the Hooligun with the Loncin water-cooled engine...:confused1::confused1: :thumbsup::lol8:
Grass Tracker TU250GB
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2668/...aff0b6e0cb.jpg
The bike came in a G “smaller and then a GB “bigger” version
The Qinqqi frame? Is it smaller then the TU250G frame?
The GB has a 30.9 inch seat height and the G had a 29.3 inch seat height, the GB has a larger frame also.
The TU250X has seat height of 30.3...I sat on one and its not to small for me but it is four inches shorter then the GB version in length width and in its wheel base, its a smaller bike then the GB.
