Where can I purchase a brand new Chinese dirt bike in the UK?

[pnitro4]

Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase a 200-250cc Chinese dirt bike preferably with a Zongshen/Loncin or Lifan engine in the UK, I can't find any established or known suppliers of these bikes apart from people selling them second hand and when I ask them they usually respond with "I got it of a friend" or they have no clue where you can get it new, so is there another way to purchase one apart from importing from China?

Thanks :)

For example, pure dirt:

For the (adventure) roads, the famous Zongshen RX3:

Not exactly a dirt bike:

Not Chinese, but Korean:

Hi

I can recommend the Zhongshen RX3, good for any weather I've ridden it in so far. Known as the Honley Adventurer over here. Comes with a pretty decent user manual as it is, and also, if you look at the CSC website, some great tutorials on servicing it etc, which can be found here. http://www.cscmotorcycles.com/RX3-Tutorials-s/282.htm

Also, I had a Skyteam V-Raptor 125 for 5 years, it was a fun, and reliable bike, can't say for the 250, as I haven't ridden the 250.

Cheers
