    [QUOTE=MJH;66397]There is not a comparable offering in China for the Shineray X2,

    Hello MJH,
    How does the Jialing http://www.jialingmotor.com/pid13935...Motorcycle.htm
    and the Quinqui Liger http://www.qingqi.com.cn/en/product_show.aspx?id=90
    stack up against The X2?
    As far as I can see they both weigh in the 130kg mark
    Regards Whitworth

    Both of those are options, however try to find one in the market.
    But if you compare them on power they are lesser options however they also cost less then the X2.


    Why would the RX3 weigh 175 kg dry it has to be its curb weight, unless it has bricks in the boxes.
    They never get it right in China, Zongshen may be stating the weight with boxes as well. They list it in two version one with boxes and one without, but the weight is the same, that is simply goofy as it should be listed with boxes as optional and without them in the weight and with their weight as well.
    Problem is in stating the weight on both versions as 175kg…things that make go hmm.


    I think both the Qingqi and Jialing are decent bikes….the former is hard to get a hold of the later may be as well.

    I've seen these in the UK already Piaggio branded, must be okay for a european brand to have its name stamped on it.

    It's probably ok--just remember the Chinese origin.

    However, on one of the links on one of the threads (I believe it linked to chinamotorworld), Mr. Zongshen himself was interviewed and stated that he, nd all Chinese brands, need to increase quality. I am pretty sure it's more than just lip service. Plus, like Kennon mentioned, it must be decent enough to be sold under an established European brand name, like Piaggio. In my recent experience with my 2009 TMEC 200 enduro (Zongshen engine), Chinese bikes are more reliable now, overall (although my fit and finish could be better--but it is not a Zongshen bike, only the engine).

    Also, as a disclaimer, I like Chinese bikes based on price. A Honda enduro in the US lists for $4500 USD plus pdi, tax, destination, registration etc. A brand new TMEC costs $1600 shipped, plus I would have to pay my state taxes, and registration (maybe $200). So that is the angle I look at them. If my TMEC listed for $3200, no deal. Keep that in mind for the Piaggio.
