I have seen it posted that Zongshen was not coming into the US any more. I tried to get a quote from Lew pack? with no success. Today I came across this. I am sure they dont ship to Canada.....but I want a machine like this for when I am south so could work for me. The claim of it being a Zongshen is a bit vague, but there.
Could I get your assessment Spud?....and everyone else?....thx....waynec http://www.scooterdepot.us/catalogse...200+dual+sport |

I am clearly not Spud but that bike is a different animal. That bike is a Honda based GY.
The prototypical Zong is a Yamaha clone. I don't think there have been many (any) like his imported since 2006.

FastDoc is correct.
That motorcycle might very well have a Zongshen engine, but it is a very different motorcycle than my ZS200GY-2. Zongshen manufactures many engines for many different brands of Chinese motorcycles. Most of the engines Zongshen manufactures are clones of Honda engines. However, my Zongshen 200GY-2 has a very faithful copy of a Yamaha engine. Zongshen no longer exports my 200GY-2 to North America. In fact, Zongshen no longer manufactures my 200GY-2 motorcycle.  Personally, I think Yamaha told Zongshen to stop manufacturing the 200GY-2 motorcycle.

I don't want to hijack my own thread. However, Pitster Pro is selling the QLink/Konker Xf200 bike as the XTR 200X. You might want to start a new thread in the Dual Sport Forum to consider your options.

Too bad you live so far away my buddy Ron has a 2010 GY2 with only a couple hundred miles on it in near new condition. Ron is asking $600 for it and I bet he'd take $500. See the For Sale section.

As Spud has alluded to, CB's can still be a good value but the Golden Days are gone.
I was supplied with new $1,500 or so Q's delivered. My HSUN cost about $900 delivered. Every supplier had bikes and was anxious to unload them.
