Yingang YG150-F

I had decided to buy a QJ150-19C next weekend based on good reviews on this site even though it might not be ideal for much off-road riding. However, I went for one last look around the local bike shops and saw a Yingang YG150-F. Has anyone had any experience with this model? I can't find a thread on it here so decided to start one (apologies if one exists).

The one in the shop is around 8500RMB and comes fitted with:

- 14L tank
- Carry racks (top, side and front)
- USB charger
- Cloth saddlebags (water proof)
- Wet weather gear
- Knee pads
- Barkbusters

Apart from the small engine, this is exactly what I have been looking for. :goodtime: But I'd really appreciate any opinions on the bike and/or company. :confused1:

Thanks.

Here are some photos of it.

Yingang comes highly recomended, some people got thier 250 street bike and expierenced outstanding customer service from the factory - search the friendly forum.
Never heard about their 150cc bikes - but somehow the whole setup reminds me of the whish lists of many XingYue/Shineray GY7 users - but they never did. Seems Yingang listens!

They are quite famous around chinese adventurer . The newest model are powered by CBF150 clone .

Ok, sounds good. Thanks for sharing.

The bike looked and felt good. Unless anyone has any bad reports I'll buy it this weekend. :scooter: Time to take the plunge!

Wow!! im waiting for review about the engine and clutch feel. :scooter:

I went, I saw, I had a test ride..........but decided against the YG150-F.

Pros:
- Great seat
- Has all the off-road accessories
- Looks and feels solid

Cons:
- Rides like a tank (hard to explain, but it felt much larger than it was, and heavier)
- Firm clutch (some may prefer it that way)
- Drum brakes (both back and front engage at the same time) don't provide much stopping power
- Top speed of 80km/h

So off I went to the local QJ dealer. Test rode a QJ150-19C and was sold when I got back to the shop. Comfortable, nimble and the engine was surprisingly responsive. Sounds great, looks great, rides great. Took it up in the hills straight out of the shop.

Would share some pics, but keep getting an error. Will try again later.

Congratulations! and welcome to the growing 钱江龙 community on MCM.
Should have bought the orange one, of course :)
The YingGang looks good, but surprised to hear it is so sluggish, and you can get most of those farkles to go with the QiangJiang.
I believe the 19C has a slightly more tuned engine than the 19A. Interested to know what speed you are getting.
Safe Riding!

Thanks Lobotomous! It's good to be back on a bike. :riding:

I've found most of the farkles on taobao, so shold have them soon. The bike shop said they will make a custom luggage rack and for free. They seem like a good bunch so far.

Went for a ride down the beach front yesterday and it cruises comfortably on 100, but didn't extend it to the limit (probably only 105 or 110). It's ideal speed is around 90-95.

Very happy with purchase. :lol8:

Hi Wolf,
I know Yantai very well.
Probably the main influence on why I am still in China now.

Which part of the beach front are you an about,
By Golden gulf, or more towards the Marina Hotel, or perhaps up by the Uni ?

Gar

Sounds as though it has a fraction more grunt than the 19A. Mine will reach 100-105, but I wouldn't describe it as cruising.
The rack you are having made up is for the front? It is possible to get a stock one for the back. I have put cheap taobao ABS hard panniers on mine and an adlo box. Doesn't look quite so neat, but I can now carry luggage and tools for touring. Have also put barkbusters on and been glad of them once. My next experiment is to try an off-road tyre on the front for stability when going up loose stuff, and maybe a raised mudguard like the xinggang.

Anybody have news for Yingang YG150-F engine performance? :confused1:

Graham,

I rode along the beach front of Kaifaqu (economic development zone) headed towards Penglai. Was short and sweet. Only 10 kms or so.

Lobotomous,

Can you send me the taobao link for the panniers and aldo box? I was going to get the canvas GDW side and top bags but would prefer hard ones. I didn't know about the stock rack for the back. Perhaps that is what the guys at the shop meant but it got lost in translation. Also, where did you find your barkbusters?

Cheers

Deom2i,

I had a test ride and thought it was sluggish. Although it might be normal for a 150cc, I'm not sure. The only bike I can compare it to is a QJ150-19C. It was quite low on power compared to the QJ. I'm not sure if that helps. :confused1:

Hi Wolf,

Yep,

Been there a few times.
On the other side of the river from Yantai proper.

Happy to oblige:
Panniers - there don't seem to be many options here. These I are the ones I got - they are small but very useful for heavy things such as chain lock and toolkit which I would rather have low down instead of up in the top box. They are solid and very cheap. The rack is kind of a bodge but it does the job. I upgraded the indicator lamps as the ones that they supply are very weak, and then put red LEDs in existing indicator stalks hooked up to the brake light. The locks are fairly crap, but when they give up I will find another way to secure them.

bark busters - I got these to fit on the stock bars with not too much trouble. Having seen real Acerbis protectors, I think these are a good, solid copy.

I got mine in a shop, but this is the same model. I think it is the biggest one. Easily fits a helmet, but no built-in stop lamp.
