    Oh my, "HiSun"'s bike!

    Bike's face.







    I've been watching what Hisun prioduces and can not figure out one thing: how come no one has figured out, except "Dinli", that they could use their 500 or 800 cc ATV engines on a motorcycle?

    The only Dinli I see is a twist and go.

    Yikes Dinli's US distributor sued their OEM.

    Its like the CFMOTO Cruz on steroids.

    Lasting Trust and Continuous Excess!
    http://huansong.en.alibaba.com/


    LOL….they really do not understand what that actually means, the word should be success, not excess as in way too much. Also they have the 250cc sport bike listed as an automatic, actually DOTautomatic. (sic) on their alibaba page. Then detail it as a six speed…


    They also have the Iron Horse bikes listed, American Iron horse filed for bankruptcy in 2008. The motorcycles up to then retailed for some outrageous amount like 40k, they were built around a 124 CI S&S engines.

    Twist and go - who cares?

    If the "Aprilia Mana" managed to find their "place in the sun", I believe that there is room for other bikes of similar construction. Plus, Chinese manufacturers don't have a wide selection of big displacement, ~50 HP engines. It is not hard to me to imagine a Chinese bike with a design similar to Honda NC 700 X, with "stretched" ATV engine and CVT transmission.

    They have it with a 378lbs dry weight compared to the Kawasaki Ninja 250 that has a 375lb curb weight.
    Not much of a Rival now is it….
    Rival has 18.5kW (25.16hp) MSRP $3,999.00
    Ninja 250 has 24 kW (32.64hp) MSRP $4,199.00
    Ninja 300 has 29kW (39.44) and its curb weight is 379lbs its MSPR $4,799.00


    The $800.00 more buys allot more with the Ninja 300 and that value is also retained at resale, the Rival being priced at only $200.00 less then a Ninja 250 is laughable.

    They can beat the Japanese factories on price, but unfortunately they cannot beat the Thai factories prices.
    So the request for more affordable is already here, it is coming out of Thailand.


    What I would like to see and would seriously consider is a Kawasaki Z300 and it likely will be offered and will likely be priced around $4,500.00USD.



    I like the Honda 500 twins as well, but really wish for a smaller lighter bike and with different look, maybe a 250 twin that looks like the new MSX Honda mini?

    I am not that into sharp edges, angles are ok but I prefer smoother design elements. I think the Rival is actually ugly, it looks thrown together and cheaply designed. I believe that Honda 125cc Vertical is rated at 9.7hp (7.2kW) and it has the PGMI honda fuel injection.

    You'd need to be mentally defective to buy the Hisun over a Ninja! Is it really down to not being able to beat the Thais on costs or is it greed? You'd be stupid even to buy the Hisun for $2,999.00.

    I really can't understand why these Chinese copy brands think that they can win market share with a bike that is less than 10% cheaper than a proven absolute favorite in its sector. Really they need to make a bike which is pretty much damn well nearly as good for 33%-50% of the price.

    It is a copy, you can see that in the frame and engine side cover...But its results are it is heavier and with less power? Red flags on that bike, the graphics on the white bike look like a creative use of masking tape?


    The other thing is they look like they used industry standard brakes, those brakes look like the same shitty brakes used on all the other cheap Chinese "sport" bikes.
