New member with first chinese bike!
Hey china riders,
My name is Al and I just bought my very first China/USA bike that actually was built just for Canada from 2012-2015. It's a 2012 Pitster Pro XTR 200X Super moto.....so far, so good. Starts right up with the e-start (kick back up too) and sounds nice. It has replaced the now defunct Konker bike we had here (KSM 200)....it has a Suzuki DR 200 motor in it and in a sense is one, in disguise...looks a lot like the DRZ 400 as well (2010-2016)...Here's are a few pics...thanks and looking forward to chattin' with some of you, cheers!

Re: New member with first chinese bike!
wow, i like that bike welcome, and congrats :)
Re: New member with first chinese bike!
Hey thanks....ya I think it's pretty neat too...it has so many more features than other super moto's out there....just hope parts aren't too hard to find....we do have an online parts store here in Canada called chinapartscanada.com so that should help! My bike only has 650 miles on it so new parts shouldn't be needed for a while...
Re: New member with first chinese bike!
Welcome to MCM.
Pitster Pro bikes are quite acceptable quality from what I heard.
With regular qualified maintenance it should run for long time.
I wish all time safe rides. Have fun. Post some nice Canada bike porn here :-)

Re: New member with first chinese bike!
There's alternative way (from china via agent) for parts. Check [Off-Topic...] sticky of chinariders.net for details...
Re: New member with first chinese bike!
I remember when you guys (Canadians) got those from Pitster Pro. We had them via Qlink until a couple years ago, which is probably why Pitster Pro in the US did not offer them here. Come to think of it, I remember when Konker offered them to you guys, too. I have been a long-time member of chinariders.net, and long-time member here, too, so I have seen quite a few Chinese bikes come and go...
Re: New member with first chinese bike!
yes you can get spares for those on taobao.

you only need to use an agent for taobao to buy things, I have done it, prices are fair even with shipping.

Re: New member with first chinese bike!
Looks like a neat bike. I really wanted a supermoto style bike! How's the ride?
Re: New member with first chinese bike!
Rides incredible....smooth shifting from the Suzuki engine and has a very unique sound to it, nice!
Re: New member with first chinese bike!
Hey Culcune, ya my pitster was a Konker here in Canada 'till about 2011, then the company closed its doors. Pitster pro took over and made the bike until 2015....parts from the Konker will fit obviously and are not too hard to find. The engine being Suzuki will help if things were to brake down (doubt it) since there's a shop a few miles down the road! Thanks for you interest!!
