Zongshen

[MJH]

I’m fairly certain that Zongshen stopped manufacturing the GS250 and the Sierra 200cc Dual Sport. Not positive about that but it seems they have opted to cater to the emerging markets with under 150cc production models and also moved their executive management to Vancouver Canada. In that they are attempting to improve their operating margins and also present financial through the Canadian market system. They are also developing electric vehicles as they see that as having high growth potential.


Jianshe is Yamaha in China, they are offering the original behind the GS250 it is the SRV200
( that link got unplugged...they still have an SRV-I listed on this site http://www.yamaha-motor.com.cn/home/...e-ii/1060.html) But it is only a 150cc along with the SRZ 150, both of which have no linked details.


However they are not offering the TW200 which is the original behind the Sierra 200cc. I would say they should and that would be a decent motorcycle for adventure ridding in China. The Sierra was a big seller and may have been dropped by Zongshen do to stricter emissions. However Yamaha should have the technology to get that bike approved. Jianshe should also consider offering the Serrow in China as well.
