Considering the Kawasaki Ninja is $4999 CDN this is not a bad price!

I had a new Ninja 250 last summer and the Q, as nice as it is, and cool and a neat value and all that, is very much no Ninja. _________________ 2007 Gold Wing, 2009 QLink XP-200, 1978 GS 750. 1981 Yamaha XS400, 2006 Kawasaki Bayou 250, 1996 Corvette LT-4 Roadster, 1992 Ford Ranger 4X4, 2002 Maule Comet (Airplane)

I don't know about the Zong 250, but I had a Kinroad 250 (Lifanoid) and it was a poor motorcycle, even using CB standards. It was counterbalanced but vibrated, and it made no more power than a HSUN Lifanoid 200 Enduro I had at the time. The pegs and stand scraped in turns even at modest lean angles, the suspension was limp, the electricals were unreliable, and it simply was no fun. I sold it for what I paid to a beginner rider, and it was good for him for his purposes.
I've not ridden the Megilli, but it appears to be an entirely different animal. FWIW, it looks hot as heck. Like a Ducati. _________________ 2007 Gold Wing, 2009 QLink XP-200, 1978 GS 750. 1981 Yamaha XS400, 2006 Kawasaki Bayou 250, 1996 Corvette LT-4 Roadster, 1992 Ford Ranger 4X4, 2002 Maule Comet (Airplane)
27hp is respectable.... _________________ Looking for parts?...check out the website for all your scooter and Pitbike parts..Looking for shop equipment? Check out my website www.my-garage.ca Looking for parts for your chinese branded bike?

FWIW HiSUN, who makes the Megilli, also makes the Q Link side by sides, and they are exceptionally well made units. _________________ 2007 Gold Wing, 2009 QLink XP-200, 1978 GS 750. 1981 Yamaha XS400, 2006 Kawasaki Bayou 250, 1996 Corvette LT-4 Roadster, 1992 Ford Ranger 4X4, 2002 Maule Comet (Airplane)

those answers are bull---- from people that are at least a bit stupid.
1. I hate the thing with parts that are available for the kawasaki ninja or older japs. do you know what the price tag for an EFI unit is?
wih chinese is mostly labour and labour is almost the same so... if I have a lauty CDI on an 200Gs is 50 $ + labour but on a ninja ... si at least 200+ labour...
the real problem with chinese bikes is the bike overall design (and performance). I am still expecting a decent 350-500cc aircooled single like the trusty old DR350 with decent pick-up power.

Yes, but:
We have to look at the end use. To most, a 250cc motorcycle, especially one that wants you to *think* it is "sporty", is a "stepping stone" to something larger, not a "goal". So, the intelligent purchase, with re-sale in mind, is the bike with the greatest percentage of re-sale value, not the least. No matter the cost of repair, because it is not a short term factor, as such, comparing "new" to "new".
The "winning" idea, is to buy at the bottom of the vehicle's value (within it's life span), and re-sell, hopefully for more than what was paid.
