Hello.

[kitia]

Mikko has been missing for sometime now…seems like that has happened before?

Anyway somebody pointed out once, think it was Human being, who really needs a better screen name, that it is best to buy what most are ridding in a foreign country…then finding those that can support it easiest, since it is what they are used to supporting.

Special ordering from China and shipping to a foreign country is fantasy full, It might be best to find out what is easiest to get there and then also what most buy and go with the flow.

Thanks a lot. There are some brands that are sold locally there for about €800, though they are not Liegers.


At the moment I am in contact with a Chinese dealer in china who hsa sent me a catalog. I am waiting for him to tell me the price. I have imported stuff from China before, so I think I might be able to import a bike too. Anyway, lets wait and see.

Moilami originally was shopping for a Galaxy, but ended up finding a Skyteam dealer that seems to have been pretty well established in Tampere.

Here's an ad for the same bike from a Chinabike website in Britain, priced at Euro 899.



Looks like a very fun bike.

Oh, and here's a picture of Moilami on the bike he calls Orange...



cheers

Thanks a lot euphnious. The bike looks great and the price seems right also (it is in pounds, so it is more than euros). However, It seems the bike is pretty low, or the guy on the bike must be big. I am an average sized guy, about 5ft 7 in weighing around 88 kg, so the bike might fit my size. Still looking around though.

the skyteam is actually quite a large bike for its size as its designed for a 250 engine the onr for £899 is a 50cc which only goes 45mph so its too slow for anyone over 16 to be riding around on also not the most relaible trying to move such a big bike with a CRF50 replica engine,
have you tried orion in the netherlands you cant actually buy the bikes off there website but given a kind call thay could probably sort you out well with a Liquid cooled 250 bike

Thanks Kennon. Will check them out.
P.S. ...though not so much information on the site.

Toyo's website is not so well maintained.

ahh yh not the most detail but anywho here is apollo/orion's official cn website mostly just facts and figures about the bikes but allot more images to show them i saw one of these Orion RX 250's whilst i was out in hong kong recently look actually quite well put together
http://www.apollovehicle.com/
iv heard some pretty good things about this engine but if you want abit more care free 2 wheeled motoring it is possible to get it with a Zongshen air cooled 250 engine like on this australian website

forgot to mention one of the best chinese bike built thats exported around europe its got some real good praise about it even from UK motorcycle newspapers
the shineray XY250GY-2 its engine is based on a older CRF-250 engine so it can handle being thrashed plus the offroad usage its quite expensive but still its probably the best quality out there for a chinese built bike but i know even teh supermoto is to tall for me to be comfortable and im 5.75 ft but im still only 18 so im a few stone/kg lighter that might make all the difference to how you feel on the bike

this is the supermoto model but it does come in enduro form as the other pictures show a set of offroad biased sprockets and wheels

[moilami]

This is sad news. Moilami seems to have removed his picture collection from the place where they'd been hosted. He's a first rate photographer, and his pix provided wonderful glimpses of Finland and Sweden, as well as his beloved chinabike.

Hope he's not left the forum altogether.

Mikko??

Hello! And sorry for the broken links. I changed the domain and stuff linked on the old domain got broken.

As for now, below are links which show pictures. I will fix links here later on.

I found another dealer selling bikes with a brandname of 'Cruiser'. The picture is of a Cruiser 150GY
