    Member Supersprignet (sp?) got his Shineray directly from the factory, and detailed it when this group first started. Haven't seen too many posts from him, but he did post recently, so should be around. See who he dealt with last year. He got the enduro with all the racks--kind of a cross between an agriculture bike (ag-bike for those in Australia and S. Africa, and where they are used for agriculture), and an adventure tourer. It is the photo on the main mychinamoto page where the cute girl is standing there next to a bike on the beach.

    He bought it directly from Shineray if I remember correctly. I do think he was closer to Chongqing than you are, however. Hope that helps, and try to pm him to see what he did to obtain his.

    This bike should be available in China. There's a Shineray dealer in Chengdu which should carry it but I wouldn't be surprised if it can be found elsewhere.

    Before I left China the brand new Galaxy 250 dirt and motard bikes were landing. Those also look like nice units but it's hard to beat the old NX250 engine design. My main problem with the Shineray X2 is the tiny gas tank. Would be a blast around town or racing but probably not too good for extended rides.

    Thanks for the info Culcune. i reckon we'll be lookin' into that pretty quick! The Shineray i saw originally that i liked was the 200GY. a right proper ag-bike! Nice, but it didn't have a big enough engine for my likin'. i'm thinkin' the GY might have the same frame as the Motard version of the X2. If so and we can contact the factory, i might be able to switch tanks and fire on that carry rack. Maybe wishful thinking, but you never know.. it could happen!
    Hey CC! i thought you were still in China! Am i outta the loop or what?

    Tank is small, but it still holds 40 RMB of fuel, which is about as much as I ever fill up at one time...

    I was just in the Xian Shineray dealer, they had a brand new XY250GY-2 on the show room floor. The bike looked really nice in person, but a tad to tall for me (I'm 5'6'') so I fit in real well here in China. Talking with my poor Chinese trying to discribe a Motard version, was like trying to discribe the space shuttle.

    Just a thought I would through in the speck sheet I got today...

    Cheers,
    Spoony

    Spoony, find out how much they want to charge for the bike!

    I've been quoted 8,000-23,000RMB for the same bike from different dealers, so be careful how much you pay!

    I'm very keen to see some feedback on the motard model, as a few of us are thinking of buying it!
