I like it, clean, simple. I think I'd try flat black, but that does look sharp.

Yeah clean and simple is good! One nice thing about C-Motos is as long as the bike is fundamentally solid, customizing it is not that hard. You could take some of the saved money and make it look however you want.
Don't know about that ZongShen engine though...

The FOB price is a little steep, IMO, but this bike is in a different class--like the Johnny Pag, and only 16 bikes fit in a 20ft container.
What is wrong with the Zongshen engine, Carl, or are you just prejudiced against Zongshen? :biggrin:

I'd rather the V-engine be a Lifan for sure. Maybe they've got this ZongShen engine sorted out, who knows. Problem is hearing about a reliable song shen engine is few and far between.
A couple from South Africa just rolled th rough Chengdu on ZongShen enduros...the same that was sold by Qlink in the US. Less than 2k kms on it and they were already having engine problems. Two identical bikes from new...one was burning smoke, the other was not and both lost way too much power at elevation.
I'll stick with the QingQi's!

We have read several members' mixed reviews on Chinariders over the last couple years regarding the Sierra. Maybe the Mikuni carb will help somewhat?!

That's true and it is a totally different engine so who knows? Maybe it's an ace.
Would be nice to get some first person experience with this here and that just may happen in time!

05-26-2008, 11:48 PMThat bike is pretty cool looking. Wouldn't mind taking one for a spin. Would be REALLY nice with a bigger engine, though. Pag's is a 300cc...
Nuff said!

12-28-2008, 05:43 PMI was going to pick up a jp spyder, a few things turned me off, 1, the 2 up riding would be hell, 2, the highway speeds are not the greatest. 3, i was scared of wanting a dirt bike as well.....so I picked up my KLR 650. however, the v twin in this bike I may jump on if they come state side. slap a set of drag bars on it and have a neat fartin around town ride.
