New Qlink Megelli - China build, Tiawan motor, English design, American importer
And It's very Italian inspired! Here's a link to a show release article:

Scooter news does a good job of covering the show. Or go to qlinkmotor dot com for more photos.
I didn't make it to Indy this year and missed Qlinks new offering of three trellis framed LC 250 in race, naked and S-moto trim. Wow...I think these bikes are really nice looking. Granted I used to work for a Ducati dealer and currently sell Vespa, Piaggio, and Moto Guzzi.
So Qlink is a US importer with mostly Qingqi products. But from what I can gather, this Megelli is pulled together differently. I don't know if these will be avialible outside the US.
I guess some amount of credit is due to Qlink for going a little further to set itself apart from the crowd. But, got any bets on how quickly a Megelli-clone will pop up???

"The three Megelli models are the most anticipated products. Finally we have got 2010 EPA certificate. It means we are legal to import them now. However, our R & D team in China is working on the improvement of engine to make sure it has enough speed and durability. For sure Megelli will be available in early next year, but we may be able to make it happen earlier."

Looks like they'll be out soon.

They've got a good discussion/review going on this FB group, So far everything I've read about the 125 really puts me off towards them. Hopefully the 250 will have the QC upped for qlink. I've also read these bikes are a sachs/minerva/megelli joint venture. They do look kinda like that sachs x-road but at much better price. Last I checked x-road 125 was going for around 3000$, which is about the same price the megelli 250s are going for. :eekers:

I believe that the Kawasaki Ninja 250 is the best selling current motorcycle in the US. If you visit a Kawasaki dealer you can see that; there are always at least 10 in the showroom. Its popular and part of that is the price, which is reflective of it being made in Thailand.
Megelli is being manufactured by HSUN
http://www.hsun-motor.com/EN/Product/Product.asp?SortPath=56
It is being sold by Qlink with a 250cc only for the states so far.
and its on back order on their site, which I think means its not ready to sell yet.
Qlink will not sell it unless they are confident in it.
It must slow the process contracting the builds, they all buy different parts from different places, is that engine a Loncin?

IIRC The 125 was a Sym engine, I can't find anything about the 250 engine or proper updates on it. Its all 007 top secret stuff, but after reading what I did on the 125 FB group, I'm not going to be the tester for the 250, unless the problems w the 125 have been acknowledged, addressed and fixed.
