I was up there this weekend so i got a chance to try it, and it's a fun little bike, although it feels painfully slow after hopping off the 250. It's a twist-and-go, no gears. A lot of the parts are straight off the 250, so it's pretty good quality and looks great.
Unfortunately it's not yet legally registrable in china and i'm not sure it will be. Because of this i don't really understand the point of the bike. If it can't be ridden legally that makes it just a toy, but at 6000RMB it's a very expensive toy. When you consider that china is already flooded with unregistrable mini dirt bikes that can be bought for 1000RMB, why would anyone spend 6000 when the bike isn't that much better. It's a shame too because if it could registered i would buy one right now for the missis!
Does anyone get the point of this bike?

In the US, and I am sure elsewhere in the world, the pitbike craze has died down, but there are some hardcore pitbikers out there. Pitster Pro in the US has a good slice of this market, and has several small motards on offer, for near the same price as their recently offered Puzey XTR 250 full size bike. In many parts of Europe, 50cc is the entry level size, so these bikes might be a good niche market there?!

It's the mini-me version of my XTR. Wonder if I can get the rally tank to fit on it
Cheers!

Hmmm... lets see... 50cc bike should get around 100miles to the gallon, on a let's say 4.5 gallon tank... you're talking about 450 miles (720km) to the tank... now THAT's an affordable commuter!
