    olds, if you read through the other thread, currently just below this one, regarding the 250 and 400 dual sports, I mentioned that Bruce from EJ Cycles had seen these bikes at the Moto Expo in Indianapolis in February--not sure if any distributor picked up the line since then, here in the US, but they are supposed to be EPA legal, or were just about to be.

    I really like that yellow one, BTW

    Well Culcune, of course you like the Yellow one, they are out of the Pink one you wanted first , right ?
    I wonder if I am losing it or what, but I actually like the yellow one too ?
    I wonder if Elvis bought the last Pink one ?
    Nice looking bikes .

    Cheers, Snortin Norton

    My bad, I missed the thread opened by calrider on the same subject. Perhaps a moderator could merge them.

    they're classified as "Speed bikes" but look much more like "dual sport"... they may be a strong competitor to the JH600...

    but if they 're not seen yet in any China market, what can we, in South America expect?

    XY400GY

    this one looks like an old transalp or an old F650, compare:

    transalp


    bmw f650


    now, the other one...

    XY400Y2

    looks like a bmw



    PD: does anyone realize what would happen if we mix the JH600 with the XY400Y2?
    i think that the result may be a great bike, with all the improvements of the 600cc engine and the awsome look of the xingyue...

    PD2: this is my first post, so i send geetings to all, i've found this a great forum

    Drac,

    China has a 250cc legal limit on motorcycles so 250+ are very very difficult to sell. Other countries may still see these bikes as long as there are importers willing to buy them by the container full.

    In ChongQing I met more than a couple guys from South America looking for 250+ bikes to import so you never know! Demand for the bikes is a big question right now and it takes time to develop a good working relationship with factories.

    That legal restriction on bike engines doesn't seem to be applied equally, as we can se and read the reviews of the JH600 and realize in other pages that there's a growing number ofchineses purchasing that bike; also, i've read about expeditions made in that bike and others of medium cilindrade...

    i'm a little bit ignorant about the political organization of China, because at first sight, seems to me to be a federal organization, as some laws may apply on some places and not others...

    please, i'll be grateful if you may tell me something more about that topic (legal issues)


    Greetings from the other side of the world...
