    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.

    I've never seen one for sale or even on the streets. It's probably a new product thing like most of the other 250 and above bikes. Give it until the end of the year and they may be available by then.

    These bike look like there based on the Honda XR series.

    The XY 250GY looks like it has a Honda XR 250 engine in it.Honda XR250 a great little work horse.These things never broke down.

    The XY400Y frame looks a little to the Honda XR400 but the engine sure isn't.

    Seeing as Honda has discontinued The XR series and it was one of it's biggest sellers.A smart Chinese manufacturer should cover that market.

    I wonder If they will do XY650 similar to the Honda XR650.

    I'll have to send them an Email.

    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
