The engine used in the Shineray 250 are based on a Yamaha engine? FZ16

That engine is manufactured as a 170MM by Yingang

Unfortunately the Shineray with that engine has or claims to have a 37” seat height at 945mm. I know a Puerto Rican mechanic that could lower it for you, but he is several thousand miles from you.

wow! i'm enjoying looking at all these different bikes, especially the ones with the super-fat back tires, makes them look real mean and menacing! i think i pretty much have my heart set on the qingqi though and will probably wait for when / if it is released...
in the meantime i'll keep spending all my time on the internet looking at different bike models in case something else sways my heart :)

Actually that’s is a Chinese engine transplanted into it, the Chinese engines is a not a copy of a Yamaha FZ-16 they have 150cc engines.
Here is a thread on the swap on an Indian forum….the individual paid $1,300.00 for the engine. Bought direct from the factory and had is tagged with his original engine serial number…tsk tsk.

The bikes you like are great they are expensive in the USA….the wr250x is $6,590.00
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/pr...6/0/specs.aspx

It has a fully adjustable rear and front suspension, 10.6-10.4 travels range front and rear, you can or could ask if they can cut that down for you so you can feel comfortable on it. That would be what 4-5” it has a 35.2” seat and you need that lowered. It would look cool lowered.

I like the Kawasaki KLX250...it also a nice looking bike. Not as pricey as the Yamaha

$1,250.00 less.

The tricker is a trials bike, you stand on the pegs it has no seat, you going to be a stunt rider?
The Shineray is similar to the WR250X it has the same type engine, it be less costly and you could then get it customized with the cost difference. You could make it look very much like the WR250X.
