A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a YT clip about some "Qingqi's" bike, under which I accidentally noticed few comments - one guy claimed that they are no longer in business. Yes, I know, it was hard...

Are they 100% from "Qingqi"?

I wouldn't be surprised that those bikes are from Shandong "Pioneer"...

Guys, don't ask me why I ask you this, but does anybody knows is everything is OK with "Qingqi", are they still in business? :eek2:

Sorry, my memory does not reach so much in the past. Early 80's and that's it. :icon10:

And this old "Suzie" is a nice catch. :thumbsup:

A propos revivals and horizontals...

There is one frame design that uses not one Chinese manufacturer on their bikes with "small bore" horizontals...
...

Some sort of "Florett" revival.

Cute.

No. I thought that this one:

http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/511314872/XF250GY_E_dirt_bike.jpg

uses the same tupperware as "Somoto's".... "Dorsoduro", but on a common tubular frame and square...

With trellis frame?

Yes, it is preety long chain, but we're talking about less than 20 HP bike, not "Hayabusa" with extended swingarm. Spring loaded chain tensioner would solve all the (potential) slapping. But again -...

Yea, Mad Max Style...

I wanna be Bubba Zanetti. :icon10:

Seriously, I'm sick of sh...loads of common bikes. OK, no bigger displacements, no fancy suspensions, brakes, LED headlights, but guys,...

It seems that there is no separate topic dedicated to "Shandong Pioneer", so I thought that my "finding" is not completely off-topic in this thread.

And so, "Pioneer's" page on "Alibaba" - among...

What is the next thing we'll see? Bike with leaf spring or plunger type suspension?

Nice article, and Scott has some interesting thoughts and ideas:

"Then we started looking at mopeds. No one’s really addressing the moped market, so we have a moped coming out."

We didn't see...

I doubt that, because I know how CPI "Astor" looked before he become CCW "Tha Misfit". Thоse are just cosmetic mods to existing motorbikes. There was no substantial changes, just plain fine-tuning.

There are not many photos, video clips or articles about "U-Zeal" series based scrambler, therefore here is a clip of the "MASH Scrambler 125"

I'm still waiting for her, to keep breaking my heart and shake my confidence daily. :icon10:

A propos "Rapira" bikes: their importer, on its website uploaded parts catalog.

On each page pops...

As aspected, flood begins.

On "Alibaba", "Guangdong Yatian" offers their "Mrs. Robinson".

Oh, my... I Forgot about this Chinese "Piaggios"! Good eye MJH!

So, this design is almost three year old. :eek2:

BTW, "Zong's" bike "Z-One" donesn't have this cute "dent" on a fuel tank, and...

Sometimes I think - "this one is a brand-new bike, even the paint had not dried", but in most cases I'm wrong. :rolleyes1:

This... um... "brand-new" "Qingqi" QM 150 9R's design is not so new.
...

"Crossover" version of a QM 150 9R design - Turkish "Spada Anton" 150.

I must admit, it has а kind of charm...

IMO, 4V head would be affordable way for improving power/weight ratio.

Speaking of 4V on "Suzuki" engine based clones, you recently mentioned QJ's GS clone with 4V. Do you have any additional...

[I]I wrote earlier that I have read that the 250 cc bike weighs in excess of ten kilos compared to 200 cc version. Correction: extra 16 kilos.



Source -...

Yes, and weights extra 10 kilos. It's just engine.


A few years ago, at a time when "Qingqi's" 250 cc was new and rare, I read an article from some Russian motorcycle magazine. The first thing...

Yes, somewhat unusual displacement.

This 175 cc category is very rare nowdays - I saw C-motos with that displacement engine only on the vietnamese and turkish markets.

Also, I know that...

This one too? :eek2:

What? You like commuter bikes with alloy wheels, heavily treaded tires, enduro front fenders and pipeworks more elaborated than the one on "Pompidou centre"? :confused1:
