Hi moilami,

you might look at the motorcycle thing from your side of this planet and not from where we are - China. Living in Finnland, I would most likely not buy a chinese motorcycle at all, since the choice of reasonably priced "real" bikes there is surely much bigger. Here in China, choice is limited.

To your questions:

The KLX is a fully grown motorcycle, great suspension, water-cooled and fuel injected engine with reasonable power to play in the woods or do smaller trips. It is just not fair to compare the XTR with such a bike. The old-style Honda copy engine might be reliable (if assembling was done well, which is not a given) but it is no match to the modern Kawasaki engine. The XTR is over-all a much smaller bike, higher gear ratio, built initially for tracks. It feels solid however, and looking at the price tag and being able to ride it in China seems a fair deal to me. I might give you more info after putting some more miles on it.

I know this sounds desperate but I could really use that information in order to begin to plan what bike to try to get next, and in order to do the actions needed in trying to get my money back. Pisses me a lot I was so damn big idiot in beginning to take risks with this bike, huh.

Edit: For those who don't know, my issues are with Finnish Galaxy importer, not with Galaxy Inc., but I still need to know are the Galaxies on the way to Finland or is the Finnish importer just fooling me, and that I can't know untill someone who is in close contact with Galaxy Inc. knows and tells.
Well, as to my impression so far, Galaxy has to learn a bit on customer service, which can also be read on some other threads about XTR250s. However, as I see it, they deliver - once the money has been received on their account. So, first thing, you might check if your importer has paid or not. There is a guy named John who speaks (and writes) english quite well. If you don't have his contact, please PM me.

Cheers and good luck,
AW.
