Hi everyone,

I've been a longtime lurker in these forums, in particular the Zongshen Sierra/LZX ZS200-GY2 subforums, which played an important role in making me buy a used one (2007 model) as my first ever motorcycle, last September. I simply cannot thank SpudRider enough for all of his contributions and maintenance documentation process, which made ownership less of a jump in the dark.

I noticed there aren't many European members using such a motorycle, so my experiences with it (even though the relevant subforum isn't as active as it used to be) might be of interest to old and newer riders alike.

I'm in Europe, but it was easier to find/buy a Honda. If I could find a non-125 Chinese motor, I'd have one, and swap it into my Honda.

Welcome!

Nother Euro guy here, don't think they even import Zongshen motos here, at least not under that label

I wasn't even aware of the Zongshen brand until I rented a 50cc underbone (ZS50Q-16 a Honda Astrea clone) last summer and one thing led to the other

I've heard of Zongshen bikes being sold as "Ural" in Ukraine (nothing to do with the historic Ural brand though).
