    For sure, I'm thinking a Haojue Suzuki GW250 in 2013, but this may change, depends on availability. Not really enough in the power department, but adequate.

    Jialing, do you hear this? I'm not buying a Jialing JH600A, because you won't fix your customers problems. Also I've mostly crossed CFMoto NK650 off my list because I'm afraid that you might treat me the same why Jialing has treated other buyers. There is one way you can have me as a customer, a three year 30,000 kilometer warranty. I know it sounds like a lot. Maybe you think "who the hell do I think I am to demand this?" But that is honestly the only way I'm ever gonna buy your bike, sorry.

    As an alternative to being Jailing'd, i can recommend a Yingang 250 for aftersales service. chinaV bought one last year and it had a few issues, which they sorted out. My mate Tom bought the bike from chinaV and they just updated the brakes on the current model, Yingang just sent him the whole braking sytem front and back with a xmas card. They have also promised to send any other parts which they update. Not a bad company and the customer service guy speaks english. rich

    Thanks for this post, Richard. Any idea why Yingang has done this? Are they acknowledging that the earlier parts were faulty or defective and needed to be replaced? Or are they rolling out an updated model and want Tom and perhaps other owners of earlier versions to enjoy the upgrades? Either way, it's surely evidence that they care about their customers, though it would see also to indicate that they are letting their customers do the quality control testing of the bike, which is a risky proposition if it's released before it's ready for prime time.

    What do Yingang say when they provide these friendly services? Any explanation?

    Thanks, and best new year's greetings!

    Unfortunately ChinaV gave up on YG, I wonder the front braking has improved? and the welding job.

    The GW250 is one of the few, one hundred percent legitimate, choices in China, holding true to the real actual meaning of the words.

    I didn't really give up on Yingang, having both the QingQi 250 and the Yingang 250 wasn't really necessary, and Tom wouldn't stop drooling on the YG. The original brakes were not very good, but Tom said the new ones they sent are great.

    Yingang is not a state owned MC company, perhaps this is why they care about making their customers happy.

    Cheers!
