I want a Qingqi

[slabo]

I made up my mind, i will go with the Qingqi 200GY.
Does anyone know what is the difference between the Enduro and the Motard version?
Same frame ? Maybe only different tires/wheels?
Is it big enough for someone 190cm (not me)?
I will try to get some help from someone Chinese at the office.

I was quoted 9800RMB for the Enduro version. Is that a good deal?
What does the Qingqi factory ship to the dealer? A whole bike or are there any configuration options?

Most importantly, anyone have a catalog? The Chinese website does not have any good pictures or details.

Thanks.

This is what you want......



The differences between motard and dual-sport are pretty well covered in other threads on the site (mostly just the wheels and gearing of the sprockets). 190CM ? go with the dual-sport, it's a bit taller with higher bars.

It's probably going to cost you about 13K with the 520 Chain/Sprockets, improved hubs, rear disk brake, upside down forks and I would request a cargo rack instead of those useless grab rails.

Buy a set of 17" rims and tires and you can basically swap between motard and dual sport. Probably cost you around 2000 Yuan for extra wheels.

Humanbeing, are you selling these? Do you know any reputable parts suppliers for QingQi?

ChinaV,
I'm an amateur compare to your knowledge.
I don't like this brand (bad reputaion from early days in Guangdong) so no further parts info.
Owned some better CG clone (Xingfu: early 90s/ Kymco: 2007) that're close to the Honda as workhorse. Borrow Suzuki en125-2a from cousin in spare time. BUT these better chinese made bike can't replace the 8/90s Honda CG125/Suzuki GS125 (刀仔) good reputation from GDer.

The 13k rmb, this you mean what will cost me upfront at the dealer's ? Or you mean 13k after i get the parts you mention replaced?
Also, i cannot find any discussion of differences between the motard and dual sport versions, can you provide a link? I think the motard version will better suit my needs, but i cant see why it would cost so much more, so i would stick to the dual sport version.

Slabo,

Everything is the same except the wheels, gearing, fork and plastics. The Motard version often has painted plastics (which will scratch) while the endure version has color-in-plastics (which will scratch but will be the exact same color of course).

If you're tall, get the Enduro version. If you're less than tall and only want to have a good time on smooth surfaces, get the motard.

Price difference for the motard could be the specific parts are produced in fewer quantitites and also that it's a more "fashionable" design.

Good Luck!
