    QingQi has recently announced their two new 250's. One in a half-faired street version called the QM25-2D and the other a 250cc version of our favorite 200cc super-mo.

    Both bikes use identical engines which look to be enlarged versions of the QingQi Suzuki DR200 derivative.

    Hmmmm.... very interesting. Definately a different top end than our current QM200 series. The rest looks pretty much the same. What's with the Liger250 decal on the rear panel ?

    Nice to see a full 20 ponies of output from QingQi. Would like to see a dualsport version with the USD forks of the Motard.

    Thanks CC for keeping us updated

    Cheers!

    I like the second one, the first one may not look bad if you take off the headlight fairing and put something "streetfighterish" on it...

    The first one has a model with not fairing but a single round headlight instead. Too bad these things aren't selling in NA. Actually, I'm not really sure where they are selling.


    On another hand, if that big reflector on the fairing headlight puts out some real usable light and provides a little wind protection, I think it would be a welcome addition. One issue with C-Motos is poor night-time riding safety due to insufficient stock head-light design. I hope this is a step in the right direction!

    No plans have been announced for it yet. They even have a 250 model now available and are trying to make something that will appeal to the world market by asking for our feedback on a new proposed model.

    You can contribute your input on the model in the following link and the info will be sent to QingQi for consideration.

    HAHAHAH...magical unicorn bike!

    I've seen them on showroom floors in China but never in the US or anywhere else for that matter. ChinaV had mentioned in another post that many of these bikes must be for export orders only and that's likely right.

    The main reason why we don't see these bikes is because the manufacturers don't do direct distribution and rely on importers which complicates the distribution and support process. Additionally, the manufacturers are still figuring out the overseas marketing game and hindered by bureaucratic inertia.

    I'm hoping many of them will figure out these problems in 2009!!!

    Hi.These bikes are selling in Serbia some 2000Eur is the price.The bike is ok but the frame is made out of very thick steel pipes(thicker then qm 200 gy)and it is too heavy for the engine.I'm riding Qingqi 200 gy and i'm very pleased with the bike.
