Forchetto, thanks for the info. Qlink uses higher quality suppliers for their bikes overall, but I have never heard of Magelli. Assumed it was Chinese, although I now see the European influence/connection, thanks to the link you gave us.

The magelli.com site does not show a 250cc version of any bike. I like the look of all three models. I have a feeling that these will have some sort of cult status in the US, just as the Qingqi-based XF200 has helped spring up interest of Chinese bikes in the US with its own "cult" status.
