The Pitster Pro LXT400 was manufactured by Xingyue. Several variations of this bike are still being sold by Xingyue Canada.

The engine in these motorcycles is a hybrid design, based on a Honda, NX250 bottom end, and a Rotox top end. Based upon the combined experience of our forum members, we must conclude the bottom end of this Xingyue engine is suspect. :( Forum member Mebigdave went through 2 gear boxes on his Xingyue 250 engine, which appears to have the same bottom end as the hybrid, Xingyue 400cc engines. :roll:

To the best of my knowledge, no one anywhere has ever reported these engines to be reliable for even 5,000 miles. :( In stark contrast, I have now ridden my Zongshen 200GY-2 for 41,500 miles, and it has never run better.
