Website review? Countyimports
Hey forum, if any of the readers now have read my recent posts you know that I'm considering a Jinlun JLP250 / Roketa MC113 (or 250GTR is Countyimports likes to call it.
Now here's the tricky part, who to buy from?:confused1:
I've been researching for awhile and I believe Countyimports
may be the best, but I'm not sure considering this is my first
purchase.
Here's the site here (under the category for motorcycles)
http://countyimports.com/cruisers___..._150cc___400cc
Basically, tell me if you've had experience with them before. If not what can you tell me to help me learn to trust this site or not? I have a feeling they're trustworthy but not sure (I'm usually good with my hunch).
Anyway's thanks all can't wait to hear from you!:icon10::icon10:

Nearly $200.00 less
I would call them, all they do is ship you a bike then mail you the paperwork.
You also should call the Kentucky Transportation cabinet.

Ask the KTC if you buy a brand new motorcycle online and have it delivered to you what is required to get the motorcycles titled.

Those Jinlun motorcycles were all imported in 2008, they are all the same no mater who you buy them from, they all came from China in 2008 and no more have been imported since.
Re: Website review? Countyimports
The most efficient system for distributing these would likely be in that of one warehouse at the port of entry, then the ability to sell them offered to anyone on terms out of that one warehouse. I suspect that is happening in some instances and not in others.
I sometimes wonder if people selling them actually have possession of them or if they are just order processors. That is happening on Alibaba in china obviously and are the trading groups.
The motorcycles arrive at the port with the lowest inherent costs, if that warehouse sells to the public directly it is with the lowest possible costs.
If another warehouse buys them and then sells them they have a higher cost as they add costs as they had to be shipped.
They can never really beat the price of the primary importer at the primary warehouse when the bikes are stored at the primary import location.
If the motorcycles arrived in 2008 in Miami, then selling out of the warehouse in Florida would have the lowest inherent costs.
The Primary importer for the Jinlun was JMSTAR in 2008 and they are located in Miami
Unless the bikes are shipped cheap and stored in very cheap storage facility, it is all relative. Domestically that is, only getting them to cheap storage can beat the price of the primary warehouse and only if it is inherently expensive storage space.
I also think warehouse space as a cost and it is a cost and a reoccurring cost deprecates the value as time goes….in some states they actually incur an annual holding cost as a tax as well.
These bikes have moved around and have been deprecating in value since 2008. None of them are new they are all approaching three year old models and actually have been in the USA for close to four years.

Be sure to check the internet for complaints on County Imports before giving them your money. The only way I would consider buying from them would be with a credit card so I would have a fall back if they didn't deliver as promised.
Re: Website review? Countyimports
You know what is really screwed up, is how they managed to get one EPA certificate that covers both a Yamaha V-Twin and a Honda 234cc twin. Seriously the certificate they were granted in 2009 covers both engines, and they are completely different engines, one is a 249cc V twin and the other a 234cc parallel twin.
The certificate is 9SJMC0.23NFG-005 and covers all these models JL250, JL250-2, JL250-5, JL250-6, JL250P, JL250V
JL250V

I am sorry but these two engines being able to pass on one certificate is outside of the laws of physics.
Re: Website review? Countyimports
Yes, there's something fishy going on there. One is a Virago copy and the other is a Rebel copy. The Rebel copy I had in a little cruiser bike had catalytic converters and was jetted so lean it felt more like a 125 than a 250. Substantially less power than my Lifan 200. Changing the jets, airfilter, and exhaust made a big difference.

haha, that's pretty funny. I'm pretty confident about buying the second bike (JL 250p) though, there's quite a bit of youtube videos on it and it seems these bikes end up lasting quite some time. I only need a bike for a year or so and I'll be taking care of it excessively so I'm not too worried. all of the time and help you guys have put forth is definitely making a difference. When i decided i wanted a bike i knew NOTHING about them I was a complete noob. Now I know 10-30% haha. Anyways I appreciate all the help If only the rest of the world was as nice as this forum!
Re: Website review? Countyimports
I do not like either, not my style bikes, but the engines without emission devices likely would be decent.
The cruiser needs to be this bike:

The other bike needs its fairing taken off and get straight handlebars and a round headlight.
http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...S/RATO/230.jpg
I do not like the raked in bars on that bike, its just is not going to go that that fast to justify them, there is no real valid reason to be that aerodynamic for that bike. They could have blacked out the little twin and stuck it in a naked version and I would have liked it better.
Then there is the Yingang with a water cooled engine and a six speed...

these all have the same frames

Re: Website review? Countyimports
The real Honda engine in the CMX250C (Rebel) is rated at 16.4kw in the EPA database, do you think it really has 22HP or did the ass hats at the EPA screw that up? At this point I have to wonder what accuracy is?
Honda has not imported a Rebel to the USA since 2009? The rule is that each year has to have its own certificate and the last one issued for a rebel was 2009?
I thought the Rebel had 18hp? It is only 234cc? Here is its last recorded certificate it is online…9HNXC0.23AAA-003 JH2MC1318FK001713
Re: Website review? Countyimports
While posting this an attempt was made to enter my computer from this IP 222.186.25.147
When I checked the source of the that IP address I saw it as located in Jiangsu China? It must be dynamic or spoofed because checking it later it is now in Beijing China.
Oh I see…. it issued by CHINANET jiangsu province network
Should I contact them? send abuse reports to abuse@jsinfo.net

I do not like people looking up my skirt....
Re: Website review? Countyimports
I really like the bike w/o fairing and the headlight. (when I looked at the JLP I thought about doing this) As for now I'm not the most concerned about the look but I really like the straight handlebar look (I used to play Grand Theft Auto San Andreas alot). It reminds me of a bike from there http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__...ride-front.jpg
really sweet idea. Funny thing about the IP thing. It probably was an advertisement I sometimes get those alerts on Youtube or Google. I wouldn't say its too much to worry about it was probably trying to open up a popup window or something cookies more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie
I don't know crap about motorcycles but I know a thing or two about computers haha. Anyways the bikes you posted above I like better than the original. However I can start with the JLP-250 then mod it and truely make it a custom.
Re: Website review? Countyimports
Also looking at the Ying Yang Price it's 600dollars out of my price range =/

I am pretty sure it was just incoming data, I think it was a slow server that still wanted to send me images that loaded too slow….I left the page but the images were still streaming in…maybe.
Then again some of the Chinese’s servers are hacked, some have no security on them and hackers gets in and mess them up. They attach malicious code to images…I’ve seen it before.
The JL250P has potential for a naked bike, it to me would be an interesting project I’ve seen gear clusters, headlight, turn signals etc it would not be that difficult. The trick would be the speedometer they match a sending unit on the front hub. I am pretty sure the tachometer takes an electrical signal, so you would have to see what the engine sends and then match it to that. But I am pretty sure they are similar, that bike has the same blue gauges I have seen on most faired Chinese bikes.
The engine is likely chocked off by emission controls, theoretically it should have near if not the same potential power of the original Honda it is a copy of. Not having the fairing would allow easy access to the engine, or at least easier access.
I would call the people in Florida and ask about availability and colors. If they have a showroom then Florida is not to far to go to get it the bike would fit in the bed of a pick up. It would be a two or three day trip…and you could ride it around in Florida for a while.
Re: Website review? Countyimports
here is an Image of Chinese bike without the fairing, it only has the 200cc single the JL250P engine would fill the frame better. The same frame.
