    Welcome to the site. It's great to have some more people from Europe around. I hope you can post some pictures of riding around Croatia and your experience with the bike.

    Hi Max
    I really like the look of your bike. What are the styling things you did to the bike?

    I love the brush guards on the handlebars....

    I want to replace the crappy stock units on my GY-5, but aftermarket units wouldn't do as good a job at cutting the wind. I ride a lot in the cold, so that's just as important as barkbusting....

    Well, i changed the stop light with the led ones,changed the "big ass" turn lights with new ones, painted all the plastic with black color and polished, remove handguards, changed front tire(sava) and rear tire (dunlop),repainted the exhahust (very poor color orginal,these are old photos) and drilled the exahust,halogen blue light bulb....
    Im planing to paint the rims (only one part of rim),and change the headlight i like the arcebis:thumbup:. and stick some stickers.

    Max,

    Those are some great pics and I have never seen a better looking ZongShen! I'm very happy to hear it has been trouble free for 7,500km and that parts are very available.

    How did you first hear about Chinese motorcycles in Croatia? How did you decide to buy the ZongShen?

    Well,im currently studying electrical ingeniring so im on low budget,but i need some kind of transport.Here in Split,there are many of these motorcycles,even some post-office guys are riding it:thumbup:,so i say "hell,whay not?",everybody who owns it sad there are great bikes,great quality from Zongshen,2 years warranty. So i bought it . Here,a Zongshen engines (outboard,motorcycles and so...) are not the cheapest one, Jiaing and QuingQi are cheaper,and some noname ATVs and enduros.

    Wow, and a two year warranty with parts actually available! That's not too bad. How did you buy it? From a store or internet? How much did it cost new? What are some of the most popular models in Croatia?

    Sorry I have so many questions but I enjoy learning more about what it's like for rider in all parts of the world.

    P.S. Would love to see a picture of a "Postal" ZongShen. Do they paint it special colors?
