New QingQi 250 Motorcycles! (QM250-2D, QM260-GY-B)

[volksjagger]

Volks,

The last three are not made my QingQi and two of them use scooter engines.

All of these recent pictures were sent from the company and not taken by me. As far an QingQi's new 250 engines go, I can't confirm which model it's based on until I see a good picture of the right side. It's either much like the GZ/TU 250 engine or the same case as the 200 with a larger head.

The orange "liger" 250 picture is a real bike and not a photoshop illusion. It's easy to confuse it with ChinaV's excellent photoshop job of the same bike.

ya i kinda thought they were not qingqi bikes since they dont make their scooters either.

Good day everybody Jean -Pierre here from Qingqi South Africa

I have been to the factory 2 weeks ago and test drived the new 250 motard and touring bike ( Road bike mixed with motard )

The New 250 engine is not a GN engine but it is the new GS 250 An engine Qingqi had been developing for 2 years . The engine runs smoother than the GS 200 engine ( And the GS 200 is a smooth engine ) which is amazing. It delivers great power the most in the chinese 250 same class engines it also inclued standard rear Disc brakes no DRUM.

It is howerver based on Suzuki technology but Qingqi has included some of there own techinics aswell. The 250 range will only be released in March 2009 Back in South Africa we are already preparing for the order.

We are having good progress and we are introducing the new QM125T-10R Scooter known as the Qingqi Variant the picture can be found at http://www.qingqi.com.cn/en/cpxx.asp?proid=809. We Will have them in Black, Yellow , Red

These are the best styling scooters i have ever seen.

Post comments for any other info I will be glad to help.

Hi There Yes Carl this is the bike I rode.

Comments:

The bike drives fantastic it feels like a touring motorcycle like the honda transalp you know that touring feeling.

The handeling around corners is suberb and the sitting position.

It was a great idea for you to propose this type of motorcycle.

It would run even better with the 250cc engine and It would look nice with a more sporty headlight.

But further on it is a great design well done I will be importing this model once it becomes avaliable.

I would love to hear any other suggestions or comments you may have about the bike on the above thread. I will shortly be assembling a summary of the comments made here and submitting it to the manufacturer.

Much thanks for the update and please keep us posted!!!

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!

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.

Recho and Blackbite,

Welcome to the site and thanks for the info! I really don't know much about the Serbian motorcycle market and would love to know more about it.

Is 1,300E expensive for a bike there? Also, how does it compare to other bikes available in Serbia. What kind of bikes are available in Serbia?

[Blackbite]

On Serbian market most important brands are: Qingqi, Keeway, Jinlun, Kinroad. Jinlun and Kinroad selling only cruiser models 150ccm or 250cc.
There are some other brands, especcialy scooters, branded for this market and who know's who actually make them.

Prices are pretty much ok, but Qingqi models are best buy consider price/quality/available models. Current prices are a bit lower than usual, for about 100e in avrage.

Of course, there dealership's for Japanese, German and Italian brand's, but most of the bikes on our roads are second hand, mainly imported from German, Italy, Swiss.
