There are some Qingqi 250's in the US...

I am surprised to see these as Qingqi-branded here in the US. Not sure if these are a fluke (i.e. one-container special) or the start of something promising, but I might just have to make a trip to San Diego and a ride back...

Nice find, culcune. I noticed that the headlight and tail light are the same as the Konker that was sold in Canada. The headlight has adjustability while the tail light is not LED. Also, HOLY CRAP! IT HAS AN OILER COOLER!

Good eye on the similarities and oil cooler! I have to admit that I never really researched the Konkers since they were not available in the US, and the Qlinks were (still are). I really hope these are here to stay, and I did try to call JP this morning, but forgot about the 1 hour time difference, so will wait until they are open, LOL.

Maybe Pitsterpro offers them to its dealers in the USA? Maybe they are distributing them in a limited number to any Pitsterpro dealer that wants them….they imported some for the Canadian market.

JP Motorsports is also a Pisterpro dealer.

JP Motorsports is also a Pisterpro dealer.

That is a new addition to their lineup, just as the Qingqi brand is, too. I tried to get JP to become pitster dealers when Pitster had their XTR 250 motard so I could finance one, but it never worked out.

I wonder what the story is with these bikes--I hope it is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg so they will be available in all 50 states en masse like the Qlink 200s were (Canada is already taken care of by Pitster Pro).

Just got an e-mail from PitsterPro Canada informing me that they will start selling a 200cc bike in early 2012 and that a 250 will follow later (towards the end of 2012). This is good and bad I suppose. Good, because it would mean that the Qingqi QM200GY-B / Konker KSM200 will life on in Canada as a PitsterPro bike (see link http://cmgonline.com/news/2011/09/15...ew-250-engine/), bad because it means the new 250 might not be the Qingqi 250. I am saying this because I talked to Cleveland Cycle Werks, which is opening shop in Canada as well, and they said that their new 2012 250 Hooligan bike will not be the air cooled 2011 Qingqi, but a new liquid cooled bike. This makes me suspicious that PisterPro is going that way too.

These people all need to share distribution systems and aggregate their purchasing. They should be offering brand name based distribution systems as a service to multiple manufactures.

Jinan Qingqi North America for example

If you have volume systems you can then offer production consult and also design and research and development influence. You select and test out of their production and then offer designs to influence them. You could even offer supply chain management as in parts sourcing.

A brand should represent the actual OEM brand, to include the component parts.

and in that give all your dealer get access to as many brands you can offer and comprehensive parts support.

One ordering systems for multiple brands, those brands should be the OEM brand name.

The best approach would be to have a warehouse in china that for managed global distribution, all categorized and managed as multiple OEM brands for distribution to various global markets.

The whole Traxx adventure should be doing that and offering differentiated brands not one combined brand.

Should be
Jinan Qingqi South America
Jialing South America
Jianshe South America
Dayang South America

It is different in South America because they require domestic assembly, but the same units can be offered to other markets as fully assembled However aggregating all distribution would reduce costs, production should be to a globally homologated standard. That being only exporting products to markets that can be sold in any market. Global models.

When the bar rises then everyone is risen simultaneously. If developing market cannot support technology then that is economic development for them and should be embraced, develop the technology in that region.
