Hello from Croatia

[Anticitizen419]

Hi guys. I'm from Croatia. I spent 7-8 yrs on japanese bikes (gsxr 750), and now I'm on zongshen gy200. It gives a bit more of freedom to move around (gravel roads, off road...) but lacks power...but hey, with this price i won't argue

Welcome.:hi:

[FastDoc]

An excellent little bike. You will find more info on it here than I would say anywhere on the web.

Which year GSXR? An air/oil cooled one?

[SpudRider]

Welcome; we are glad you joined us! :hi: If you have time, please post photos of your motorcycle. We love photographs. :)

Then the Assimilation will be complete.

Welcome! We'd love to see pics of your Zongshen.

@fastdoc...first was gsxr from 1987 oil cooled (had it a little less than 3 years, roughly 30K km ridden), and second one was gsxr 1996 SRAD water cooled (almost 6 years on it, round 45K km). Now it's 2007 air cooled gy-200 :) i have it bit over 2 months and have made almost 3000km up until now...it's total (previous owner+me) is 19K on odo)
it's a bit strange transition but hey, better than nothing, and with this bike i'd say much better. if its fuel consumption was any lower it would produce fuel :)
@everybody else i'll post some pics soon (any rules on that...can i post it in this topic or it must be in photo&video section of forum)

sorry if my english sucks...i hope at least it makes some sense

Your English is excellent. :) It's great to have another Zongite join us. :tup: Forum member Max_Damage is also from Croatia, and he has traveled many miles on his Zongshen 200GY-2.

I bought my ZS200GY-2 new, in-the-crate. I have ridden my bike over 98,000 kilometers (62,500 miles). :) Change the oil every 1,000 kilometers, and check the valve lash periodically. If you faithfully perform these maintenance tasks, your Zong will perform reliably for many years. :tup:

Thanks for posting photos of your bike in our Videos and Pics Forum! Your Zong looks great. :tup:

Your writing in English is great, and better than many people who grew up in America...

I am a big GSXR fan, but it's the original First and Second Generation air/oil cooled models that I covet, the 1100 in particular since it was much more comfortable than the 750, and I am old... I'd love a red/white/blue model.

All good motorcycles are fun, regardless of the style or displacement. I have everything from an antique CB175 to a tricked out Ducati and I love them both and everything in between.

Plus, how often could you ride a GSXR balls out and not get killed? You can do that all the time on a 200 and laugh all the way home from the gas station.

Have fun!
