I Google way too much…..

That very short thread only offers that the 80’s design had the flaw?
You would be a good person to look at the X-5 and see if the engine they are using is the 80’s design or the revised design.

It seems that it is not a coincidence - an acquaintance of mine, last winter bought dead 250 R. One of the issues is a cracked head.
We can only hope that people in Shineray are aware of this problem.
Should we ask them?Ask me nothing - I DO NOT speak english. Really...

It may come to nothing, but MCM is a global forum and I'm guessing there's got to be somebody at the company who googles "shineray" from time to time.
it's only fair to give them a chance.
cheers!jkp

If your email is not requesting wholesale prices and your not an established distribution partner, they are not likely to respond.
Reviewing that engine design would be the responsibility of all that intend on distributing it, that research would have to be done in part at the Shineray factory and in person.
As for the engine, the Honda RFVC 400cc had a revision after its previous version was retired in 1996. The previous line of RFVC engines all ended in 1996 and likely the major issues of cracked heads was resolved or at least alleviated within the revisions? The second generation went on to 2004 and still goes on in the 650 today. Seems that the 200ccc was one of the worst and 250 and 400cc also shared a propensity for heads to crack, not sure if that went on with the revision but suspect it was a reason for a revision?
The question about the engine can only be resolved by looking at it close up and also it would be wise to check to see if Honda has any patents on the 1996-2004 engine that it may violate, before committing to distributing them.
I believe that the bike is being marketed as a “Rally Bike” because it is not yet in the catalog of motorcycles that can be plated for street use in China, when and if it ever is then it be best to actually see it listed there before purchasing one and assuming it can be plated legally.

ooooo I will be watching this thread. I was looking at getting the RR150 for around 13000rmb, but if the engine doesn't have a tendancy to break, and it's platable (wont be in my city center 150cc max, but perhaps I can store it at my school apartment on the edge of the city and enjoy it for mountain trails), I may just hold of a purchase until summer roles round again and enjoy a bigger bike =D
Edit: here's an X5 listed for about 25k rmb
