Thank you for the warm welcome! At the moment I'm not riding anything due to an unfortunate accident by my stepfather on his brand new Heritage Softail classic that left him a parapalegic for what ended up being the last 2 years of his life. I gave up riding to save what was left of my Mother's sanity. He has been gone a couple of years now and mom has healed emotionally so, as I can no longer abide not riding I started doing research on bikes and ended up here. Your forum is very well maintained and professional, very similar to the one I'm a part of for boats, so I decided to make it my home as it were. In doing my research I discovered a bike I want very badly and was hoping to find more info and possibly a video or two to no avail. I'm absolutely obsessed with the QLink 250 Tour (Formerly Vento V Thunder) When begining research I knew that I wanted a smaller displacement lighter bike that had the appearance of being full sized. I liked the Kymco at first, then I discovered the Hyosung Gv 250. Also very nice. I also liked the Sunl SL 300. Then one day the clouds opened up and the angels sang as I found the Tour 250 while looking at a Legacy for my wife.The Tour 250 is the epitome of everything I ever wanted in a motorcycle. Custom full dresser looks,light weight, small displacement, and very affordable. I've heard nothing positive about my choice from my rider buddies, they all hate Chinese bikes. They also think that I need a liter or above bike. I've heard every possible argument such as anything smaller will be uncomfortable... after a year you'll be looking for something bigger...adnauseum. The bottom line is I want a stylish cruiser that has manageable power size and weight. I know what I want a bike for, and it isn't running 75 on the interstate anyway. I want a bike for liesurely trips on back highways so I can actually see the country, not just log miles. I apologize about the longwindedness of my reply, thank you for your time.
