I have a Kinlon rt200 but found out yesterday the importers down my way are selling them AND THE SUPER MOTARD off for half price or less, yup brand new $AU 1500 and a couple of dozen in stock to sell.

They say it is because new models are coming end of year but that doesn't make any sense - why sell current models so cheap and so early then? I know Kinlon went through a couple of name changes as so many chinese manufacturers do, 'Roketa' was one. But would even a possible name change make a bike be dumped on the market, half price or less? Nah.

I have also read that Kinlon are going into International MotoGP racing next year ... so that would make you think they are strong.

Does anyone in the business or with Kinlon contacts know anything? I would love to know more about this machine and company, is it sold in China? What engine does it copy or is it a real design etc. etc. What make of bike if any can I get bits from?

I am in fact tempted to buy another one at this price as a spares bike if they still have any left next time I have enough cash especially if they are going out of business.
