Yingang 300cc for sale

[futianshenzhen]

Alright a little bit more info on the bike...

The original 250 engine was an absolute gem, not a single issue in all those many many bike trips. I only replaced it because the good folks at yingang had developed a 300cc version in Italy and that it would bolt straight into my bike....score! It cost 5000 odd quai but it has added a few extra horses. They also helped me to source the proper Japanese carb for the engine which cost another 600 and added yet another couple of ponies, so now the bike has considerably more grunt than the original 250 which was no slouch.

The shock was a different matter and needed replacing, unfortunately this wasn't a simple straight swap. If you delve back into the RRs you can find the report where yingang gave me a new frame for the bike because of all the free advertising I was giving them. The bike was a mark 1, originally bought and reviewed by ChinaV on MCM, which was a fun bike but certainly no tourer. The mark 2 and 3 models were much better, I have a mark 2 frame and unfortunately they didn't have have a direct replacement for the shock so I had to replace the whole swing arm (mark 3) as well. Not a big deal and the bike is now better than it's ever been with more suspension travel at the rear.

The forks had a very minor tweak in them after I dropped the bike, so were replaced - better safe than sorry.

The original mark 1 brakes were lousy, yingang admitted as much and completely redesigned the oil flow on the inside of the callipers and added a larger master cylinder to vastly improve reactivity.


So the bike is a bit of a mix of all 3 different models and rather unique because of that, I think the simple lines of the mark 1 tank are cooler than the later models so IMO it has the best of the looks with the top level performance - just my opinion tho

Yingang makes a whole range of farmer bikes and 3 wheelers, none of which I've ridden so I have no comment there. The 250 bike is a totally separate development and is very successful in South America, China and elsewhere in the world. Of course it isn't up to the standard of European or Japanese bikes but I rode it all over China in some of the most gruelling conditions you can find and it was extremely reliable. Any issues it had were minor, easily dealt with and more often than not due to my own incompetence! The yingang 250s retail at 17500 RMB and I have been saying for years, to anyone that'll listen, that they are by far the best value for money Chinese bike on the market. What we have here is probably the most powerful yingang in China today and more importantly it's a bike that makes you smile when you ride it.
