I didn't actually believe it would arrive on NA shores but here it is...in a rainbow of colors and badged the 250 "Kung Fu" MC-02 for $1798.00

330 Lbs = 150KG
That's pretty reasonable for a Chinese 250 twin.
Is that a copy of the Honda classic CB250/CMX250 twin engine? (actually 234cc)

It sure looks like a resurrected Honda engine but I'm not sure. 330lbs is still a bit heavy I think for a 250, but I suppose as long as you aren't talking high-performance riding then it should be quite comfortable.
I wonder if they'll sell?

I really don't think it's too heavy, if we take a YBR250 as a benchmark at 138KG and factor in the fact it's a got a twin engine. That's 12KG more. For a Chinese manufacturer that is OK. Knowing Chinese the way I do they seem to think the way things look is very important and providing a choice of colors that will never sell, whereas foreigners are running around doing power to weight conversions and looking to adjust shocks and extract an extra few hp and removing unnecessary weight.
But the motards and dirt bikes are much lighter than that, which is why they are so good.

It looks like it carries most of its weight high up. I guess it's not too heavy but I'm just thinking a DR650 is only about 370lbs so I'm wondering about the power to weight ratio on it. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how well it sells!

To be honest it's interesting to look at, but I don't think I'd buy many Chinese bikes unless they were an exported joint venture bike.
The more I look at it the more ugly it looks!
I think all that bulbous stuff up top is an air box, see the fuel filler under the seat, probably carries fuel way down low.

12-28-2008, 08:32 PMThis is the web page for the US importer:

You can download the owners handbook by clicking on this:

I have to warn you that I'm also a buggy or go-cart owner and have been reading several buggy forums. SUNL doesn't have a very good reputation, lots of legal hassles, poor service, etc. That sort of thing. You can google something like "SUNL sucks" for lots of negative reviews and complaints.Jincheng Monkey JC50Q-7

I think the NA reseller link was in the first post? Unfortunately we've had mixed reviews about them. If you do contact them please let us know you opinion on how it goes in the dealer/distributor section!
