#1 New 400's from CoastToCoast at Bike Show01-24-2009, 09:35 PM
I went to the Vancouver Motorcycle Show (in Abbotsford) and got to see some new bikes from Coast To Coast motorsports (where both my gy5 and gy6 came from). Their website isn't updated with the new bikes yet however, but I did bring back some flyers...
These bikes you may have already seen online, but I saw them in person at the show, and they are available here in Canada now from the guys at Coast to Coast...
XY400y-2
This should appeal to the dual sport crowd looking for something a little bigger then the gy5.
XY400gy
On both of these bikes, the quality is very high compared to the Lifan's I have owned (not that I have had problems, just that these are higher quality)... The higher quality is even apparent in small components such as the electric start / kill switch. They look really good in person, and the water cooled 400cc engine should be a nice upgrade from the 163fml...
XY50qt
I also looked at some of their scooters, they have a few new models available, including this 50cc also from Xingyue.... If I was looking for a scooter, or had some extra money lying around I would pick one of these up as they seem like a good scooter, and a good value.
As well as other scooters, they also had one item that was getting particular attention, however I didn't think to pick up a flyer... It was a 3 wheeled scooter, 2 wheels in back, one in front, and it had a roof! The scooter leaned in corners like a regular scooter, with the main scooter body pivoting off the rear suspension parts of the bike. The windshield is equipped with a wiper, and it is stereo ready with speakers. It is a 150cc engine, and you can see more information here:

I didn't get anything certain so don't quote me but I think in Canada, Canadian funds were looking around $4900 but I don't know for certain. As a point of reference a drz 400 msrp in Canada is $7,399 (plus freight, pdi, and taxes).
The bike looks to be available in the US too Carl, http://www.hanissi.com/db.html#dbs

True enough but the old KLR's design originated some 7,000 years ago. This is a new product and since components for Chinese bikes are like snapping together Lego blocks and there are plenty of effective 2-pots around, I can't think any really good reason for this on a new modern bike except cheapness or lazyness.
Although I'm definitely I'm open to alternative ideas.

Carl, and those interested; Roketa in the US has apparently picked this trio of 400cc bikes.

Scroll down, and there is the Spark 500 from Asiawing, and if you look at the dirt bike pages, the Asiawing 450 dirt bike is there, too!!Last edited by culcune; 02-17-2009 at 04:29 AM. Reason: added link
