DAYUN (大阳）DY150-6 / good choice or crap?

[MJH]

Some chap in Argentina that is excited over his 20 version

He believes it has a copy of the Titan 150 engine?

I would be suspect of the cheap digital instrumentation some are claiming they crap out.

Honda Titan 150

Thanks for all your thoughts and info's for the DY150-6, i really appreciate it!

@zhu

The seller said it's a Honda copy, and i must say from first look it is. There is no injection, i think you did missunderstand that i in "That's the 150-6 i was interested in:" as injection. ;)


@MJH

Thanks for the outlet adresses, as soon as i have time i will check them out. The car looks funny, looks like a real Ch(J)oke. I wonder if it comes with ABS, Airbags or if it's just a car for golfers.
Their website is really "amazing". If this reflects the build quality of their bikes... good night. Since i'm doing webstuff maybe they can offer me a deal, i help with the website and get one bike for free.


I will definitly first check the Yamaha dealer here and go from there. I can also testdrive my friends Yamaha 125 for some days. Btw. i'm 1,95m tall... that could be another problem in finding a suitable bike.

Thanks again, i'll keep you'll up-to-date...

I'll vouch for the YBR125. I've been interested in China-made bikes, so I've picked up several different makes/models. The YBR is solid but it might be a bit cramped for your height. Then again, I think most bikes in the <200cc range will be.

@Lao Jia Hou

Thanks! It's not the bikes, it's just me being too tall. ;)

I won't rush the decision, my budget is not that big but i'm willing to wait before buying wrong.

If you want to talk to people that own one of those, you could seek them out online under Appia Brezza Euro 150cc. That is what they are sold as in Argentina.


That version the 6 is a Dayun upscale model, but do you need the digital gauges? The ones offered in Argentina under Appia as the importer have analog gauges and a standard headlight. The fit and finish on them looks very decent.


They are pretty much a copy of the Honda 150 Titan which is an OHV engine that is pretty much indestructible, in the original Honda, they seem to be very popular in Argentina because they have interchangeable parts with the Honda.

@MJH

Their version of the bike looks pretty good. I don't see any use of digital gauges either, especially if they use the cheapest ones.


I just stumbled over this classified:

Does anyone have informations about the Piaggio? I can't find much... thanks.


Edit: That one looks nice too...

Check this one out, he addressed the engine overheating with a fan?

It seem like a legit bike and in your area, you can get spares for those real easy online.
It seems legit because the seller knows that after a certain year they were no longer allowed to get them licensed.


I could be wrong but it looks like a legal 200cc?

2007 / 20.000 km / and a ominous fan... hmmm maybe not. ;)


I contacted the guy who sells the 钱江 (Qian Jiang) 150-19A i mentioned above and he owns actually a shop 20km outside of Kunming.
He is also selling Benelli for around 40.000 RMB (is this a legit price?)... and other brandnew Qian Jiangs 钱江蓝暴龙 (Blue Tyrannosaurus).

Is it true that Qian Jiang bought Benelli?

I guess i will check them out if i'm around. To be honest, i think i already got lost in the chinese bike-universe.

Update:

Got my first chinese "Baby" today, a Galaxy XTR250F, had my eyes on it for some time since it fits my size (1,95m)... 3 months old and plated approx. 1200 km on the odometer.

I have a lot of questions (could only get the chinese user manual) and also a small story to tell about the transfer-process between the former owner and me.
As soon as i have the time i will open a new thread.

Thanks for all the tips/oppinions!
