Is this brand imported into the US?
olds, if you read through the other thread, currently just below this one, regarding the 250 and 400 dual sports, I mentioned that Bruce from EJ Cycles had seen these bikes at the Moto Expo in Indianapolis in February--not sure if any distributor picked up the line since then, here in the US, but they are supposed to be EPA legal, or were just about to be.
I really like that yellow one, BTW
Well Culcune, of course you like the Yellow one, they are out of the Pink one you wanted first , right ?
I wonder if I am losing it or what, but I actually like the yellow one too ?
I wonder if Elvis bought the last Pink one ?
Nice looking bikes .
Cheers, Snortin Norton
My bad, I missed the thread opened by calrider on the same subject. Perhaps a moderator could merge them.
Are these bikes available in China?
I've never seen one for sale or even on the streets. It's probably a new product thing like most of the other 250 and above bikes. Give it until the end of the year and they may be available by then.Quote:

The XY 250GY looks like it has a Honda XR 250 engine in it.Honda XR250 a great little work horse.These things never broke down.
The XY400Y frame looks a little to the Honda XR400 but the engine sure isn't.
Seeing as Honda has discontinued The XR series and it was one of it's biggest sellers.A smart Chinese manufacturer should cover that market.
I wonder If they will do XY650 similar to the Honda XR650.
I'll have to send them an Email.:thumbsup:

but if they 're not seen yet in any China market, what can we, in South America expect?

PD: does anyone realize what would happen if we mix the JH600 with the XY400Y2?
i think that the result may be a great bike, with all the improvements of the 600cc engine and the awsome look of the xingyue...
PD2: this is my first post, so i send geetings to all, i've found this a great forum
Drac,
China has a 250cc legal limit on motorcycles so 250+ are very very difficult to sell. Other countries may still see these bikes as long as there are importers willing to buy them by the container full.
In ChongQing I met more than a couple guys from South America looking for 250+ bikes to import so you never know! Demand for the bikes is a big question right now and it takes time to develop a good working relationship with factories.

those 400cc's are in transit supposedly to the united states thru this outfit in joplin, mo.

this outfit emailed me on the price per container $1820 USD 40ftHQ

That legal restriction on bike engines doesn't seem to be applied equally, as we can se and read the reviews of the JH600 and realize in other pages that there's a growing number ofchineses purchasing that bike; also, i've read about expeditions made in that bike and others of medium cilindrade...Quote:

please, i'll be grateful if you may tell me something more about that topic (legal issues)
Greetings from the other side of the world...
Drac,
Although I've heard several times from different people over the years that 250cc is the max allowed in China, it has come to my attention that the 250cc restriction might not be nationwide and that certain provinces may allow bikes larger than 250.
I'm checking into it but f someone with verifiable sources could clear this up, that would be a great help.

The only limit is based on the emission standard. For example, 2 stroke bikes can not get registerd.
The goverment is going to upgrade its emission standard from Euro II to Euro III in July 1, 2010.
In addition, some Chinese cities won't allow motocycle to enter the city centre.
Every province allow bikes larger than 250cc.
BMW, Ducati, Harly and Benelli can get registered anywhere in China. The condition is that you must pay the import tax for these imported bikes and prove that they are not smuggling bikes.
JH600 is legal in China, so does Lifan400, Xingyue400 and LD450. A lots of home made 300cc, 400cc and 500cc tricycles were also legal in China.
All the owners of Xingyue 400 in China have got their bikes registered. Use the qq to contact the bike owners. The number of the qq group is 8907195

Many Chinese bike fans consume smuggling big bikes (250cc-1800cc) from the black market （Jieshi County, Guangdong Province). The goverment will never issue plate for thses bikes. I think this caused misunderstanding on the goverment's policy. In mainland China, 98 percent of the big bikes (250cc + ) are second hand bikes smuggled from Japan and Hong Kong. Many of which were assembled from parts of acident bikes or abandoned bikes. Some are stolen bikes which worth more. These bikes killed a lot of young riders and caused big problems for the goverment.
