ChinaV lives and rides in China. You'll have to work out some contact details with him.

Yes the 200's are available nationwide but they are not the same engine and will need to be retested. The frames are even slightly different.

QingQi did not simply stick a bigger head on their...

Dang, thanks for the info. If there are any of these 250's on North American shores it's a pretty well kept secret since I don't believe the unit has been tested for EPA and CARB requirements. Even...

Dang,

That's a simple question but the answer is complicated. Please provide us with more background info otherwise nobody will be able to answer you.

Panda, thank you very much for sharing your experience! It is very good to know the bike is also in Japan. Like everyone, it is too bad you also have trouble finding parts. Have you tried Suzuki...

That's a NICE looking bike and maybe an overall better value than it's Suzuki counterpart. I think you are the first known report of the 250 QingQi being sold in Japan. What is the Chinese...

First class commentary and photos as usual CV! Did they say if they replaced the plastic gear with a new material?

The new version looks nice. It would look even nicer if thy put the exhaust...

Zorge,

It looks like the Sprint Pulser had different plastic... looks more rounded and space-age. :icon10:

FlyingTiger,

Saddles on these thing usually can be customized on your own. ...

Well well well! If it ain't ol' Henry V in person! :lol8:

How you been doing mate? Things okay in the mountain of France? What's the moto-conomy like there?

:scooter:

May be worth trying some KLX or KLR pegs by the looks of it. If you're looking for lower profile with some rubber... the previous version Ninja 250 looks to have a similar angle on the mounts.

...

Looks great guys and it sounds like a nice weekend on two wheelsz.

All these photos make me wonder where the trip report is? :icon10:

Mmmmmm sounds motographically delicious! Would like to hear your impression of the bike!

:popcorn:

Not aware of any serious parts markets but maybe you can meet ZMC up there since he's not too far away.

You want me to drop a line to my contact at QingQi and see if he has any suggestions?

CC

Not complaining, just making sure the bike came with it! :icon10:

Reason I asked about the weight is because the engine case looks bigger than the 200 version. Maybe it's just the images?

CC

Those too but I was thinking the cap for the flywheel bolt. Now I'm thnking these photos were taken either before or after the valve adjustment.:thumbsup:

CC

Great writing and photos as usual ChinaV! Any plans to see how it does on multiple day trips? Also, have you noticed a weight difference in the bike with the new engine?

Also, there something...

All in due time Dave! Those pegs do look comfy though... wonder if they're sourced to the Western half.

:lol8::lol8::lol8:

Well I'll be damned, would you look at that! They actually used the picture! Looks like you're in the literature now CV! It's good to see the photo being used!

CC

Looks like good fun holmes! How'd you work the pics? Is it tripod magic or a lovely assistant?

I'll check into the valve clearances in a bit but am now just basking in the miracle of actually...

Good news it finally arrived! I think this may be the actual orange bike that you photoshopped last year. Small world eh?

So when do we get tho 0-60-0 and 1/4 mile traps times? :icon10:

The...

Look in the QingQi section fellas...
