The New Polish Streetfighter, based on chinese engine and frame
The "Division 249cc Streetfighter" that the name of it. This bike is a new proposal from ROMET industry. The ROMET is a company who manufacture bicycle and moppeds since '50. Since few years they assemble chinese motobikes and scooters from "Jinlun" and sold in my country under the ROMET sign. The ROMET Z-125 (chinese "Jinlun" 125cc) was a market bestseller in this segment in Poland. The bike is very cheap and very tough.
This is a ROMET web: http://www.motors.romet.pl/
So, for this year season, they decided design new bike for polish users: begginers and young, for polish difficult conditions in the streets, based on chinese frame and well-known in my country, chinese paralel-twin engine 249cc.
And result is a unordinary looks bike. Cmpletely different than all I saw. The ROMET management promise that V-max of this bike will be to 140km/h. Hm, I'm sceptic of it, but if this true, this bike will be strong competition for "KAWASAKI Ninja 250" in Poland. They will have to make a low price of "Ninja" or will kick off the Polish market.
Look at this and write something, what you think about this:

Say, can you tell us something about "Zipp" motorcycles? They don't look bad.

A comic book motorbike! But if it works as well as it looks, I hope they export! I would feel twenty years younger on that.
$2400 US

xD Batbike, Jape?
I actually like the looks of the bike now that my brains have got over of the initial shock. It have a nice and fitting big light in the front and interestingly shaped muffler. The striped theme fits too, gives a little rough character to looks. Mirrors are great also. Good looking "street fighter". But what makes me worried is a little bit long distance from rear axle to front axle (1420mm) and the angle of the front fork, and like Zorge said, the weight. If I would get this kind of bike and especially if it would be 223cc I would definetly want it to be very agile. Anyway, I like quite lot of the looks of the bike. If I would not be so much turned on by enduros I could buy this street fighter. Gief it as a 600cc or 500cc at affordable price!
(This Romet is by the way totally new brand to me. Will have to later today enjoy and Google everything I can find of it :)

Yes, indeed. These bike are good quality. I' ve some friends in my Club, who rides on these. Zipp Raven & Zipp Roadstar: http://www.zipp.pl/produkty.php?pierwszy=3
Zipp Nitro is the bike, on which ROMET build the Division 249 "Streetfighter"
The Zipp Roadstar & Keeway Supershadow are most popular in Poland from chinese bikes segment. Second after Jinlun 250. These are very good bikes: looks expensive and very good parameters and very low exploatations costs.
For example: in the april I changed The rear wheel with tire, chain, sprokets, link from rear break and some details. I paid for all about 600 PLN (ca. 145 EURO)

Why? I think that enough for traffic. In my bike distance beetwen axis is 1490/1500 mm. And in the traffic jam I feel good. I'm no less agility than GS 500 or XJ 600 for example.
Heh, by the way.
In my country, body design of this bike has been extremely criticized :D
