    This is a sample chinese motocross bike that i have imported, im thinking about becoming a distributor for the bike in the UK, the bike has the NX250 Honda engine in it, after a few test runs the bike seems great.

    Have a look at the pictures and the video i took and see what you think.

    This is a video of the bike pottering about at the local motocross track, the video isnt great but it gives you and idea, im working on getting some more power out of the bike, i got given a list of restrictions from shineray that i can remove, once done i will take another film, hopefully a better day for it

    Pinchers...

    Looks good! When do you think you'll be able to bring them in the jolly ol' England?

    Also, you can embed YouTube videos into the post to make it more likely that someone will view your hard work!

    Seen these bikes around town and at a bike show a few weeks ago. Not bad. Never knew it was a honda engine. Makes me more interested. Thanks for the info!

    Well im ready to start importing the motocross version and the super motard version now, im just wanting to gauge if anyone will actually buy them, i would only be selling them online for now and would offer a full spare parts service for the bikes too.

    The bikes would need to sell for about £2700.

    What does everyone think.

    Cheers for the embedding info

    So does this motard version have the same engine as the 250cc dirt bike? If this is correct, it firmly goes as a potential on the shopping list, as this engine puts out 18KW. But has anyone dyno tested their engine? Also they have some pretty attractive 250cc road bikes, but with a claimed 12KW, that is real lame.

    The super motard version is running with the same engine as the X2 MX bike, i have already played with the MX bikes air box and took the baffle out of the exhaust, that added with some re jetting has already increased the power by a noticeable amount.

    I have been talking with Shineray about this and we have been looking at a more aggressive camshaft for the bike.

    I believe i will be ready to import the 1st batch of MX bike and Motards in the next month or so, the other great thing about these bike is the spares for them is miles cheaper than your Jap equivalent.

    Pinchers, I'm English but I live over here in China. If you need help dealing with Chinese hassles from this end you are welcome.

    I'm interested in Shineray's motard because it has lots more power than the average Chinese stuff for it's size, also it isn't exactly hard on the eye .

    I'd rather have an 18KW 250 than have Jialing's butt ugly 30KW 600. My next bike I'm going lightweight and as high power as possible. But I'm trying to find out if the power is for real, if you dyno their bike and a Jap bike of the same size and use, maybe we can get an idea of how much power for money we are getting (very hard to do here), if the results are favourable for Shineray, it could be a good sales pitch for UK customers. Asiawing have a sweet 32KW 450 motard, but the registration costs are high to get it on the road if you register things over 250cc here.

    The bike would be in competition with the Puzey XTR 250 that is sold through CCM...just keep that in mind. If the Shineray uses the Loncin liquid-cooled 250, that is the engine in the Puzey/CCM. I do think both brands' bikes are great bikes (for being Chinese ), and since the Puzey (branded as a Pitster Pro, not a CCM) is the only one available to me in the US, I would have to choose that one by default, but if I lived in the UK, I would have to decide which one, which would come down to who is nicer--you or the local CCM dealer
