New Twin cylinder China Bike - Page 2

Please note that the opinions expressed by one forum member do not necessarily reflect the opinions of other forum members.

I appreciate Oklahoma_Outlaw's comment about "forums where people come to share information, make friends and join with those of similiar interests". Exactly what the forum should be for.

I also appreciate forum members who share negative experiences so that customer service might improve and we all may benefit. That very issue is happening in another post at this time.

From here forward, may we all keep personal criticisms to a minimum, and focus on sharing facts and product opinions.

Cheers!

Continuing on to discuss the bike. It is really nice. I purchased a 2008 Hyosung GT250R just so we could have a benchmark to hit with the JinLun. Next Wednesday when Oklahoma_Outlaw drives eight hours to visit me and do some real world testing we will have video and photos with real numbers comparing the two.

None of us are silly enough to think that the JinLun will be super close to the GT250R but I don't think it will be too far off either after mods. I think riding side by side at 60 mph the Hyosung will NOT leave the JinLun in the dust after the mods.

This will be a great test to provide real numbers, not hearsay. We will have two tank cams setup and a chase bike.

And to make it even more fun, I purchased a new Hyosung GT650R today (I was going to do this anyway), not for this test but just for me

But I'm sure we will be riding all three bikes comparing them in every way, should be fun and informative.

Ditto WeldandGrind.

Let's keep this thread on topic please. I'd love to see a vid of this bike in action.

Thanks,

Got me curious, I'm not in the market but I never turn down the chance to see a bike in action

Plus I really like the Hyosungs and am curious just how far ahead the Koreans are compared to the Chinese. I can see the swingarm is already on the chincy side but I want to see what else it has.

Oklahoma_Outlaw · 08-20-2009, 12:28 AM

Got the bike is various stages of dissasembly right now but I thought I post a photo showing the aluminum perimeter frame since that was in doubt. Best I can do tonight...

On another note and to give more information on the bike itself I was pleasently surprised today to learn that It has twin Constant Velocity carbs. While more complicated than the PD series carbs it does leave ample opportunity for intense modifications without having to change out the carbs as we've done with our single cylinders in switching to the Mikuni. Dont have the brand and models numbers yet but have been assured that these are Japanese manufactured carbs on the JL250P.

I heard from the Hyosung rep at the bike show that Hyosung has been making engines for Suzuki since 1978. Apparently the Hyosung Aquila 650 uses a Suzuki clone.

Who knows if that's accurate info.

AZ200cc · 08-20-2009, 02:01 AM

Oh I have no doubt about Koreans building parts for Jap bikes, That's probably what started the entire Chinese bike trade was them building parts for em.

almonpoole · 08-20-2009, 03:21 AM

While we are talking about Hyosung's here are some photos of my 650R and 250R.

These two bikes will be ridden with the Blue JinLun in the above post next week.

JinLun test put off until Friday..... :(

Honestly, minus a couple small changes, the frame on this bike looks exactly like my 200b frame. Here is a pic of my frame from when I had it stripped down to paint:

On a side note, I didnt know about any disagreements about the hotwires on this forum, but I bought a set last year and noticed a huge difference. I wouldnt say in HP or anything like that, but before it took forever to get the bike running and warmed up. Since I installed the hotwires and CDI it starts first turn of the key every time.

The frames are almost an exact copy, the JinLun just has a larger engine and a slightly different fairing.

The JinLun stock makes at least six to seven more horsepower than the counter balanced LF200-B 197cc engine.

In such a light bike that little bit of extra power makes all the difference in the world.

Test is completed, thread has been updated.

Thanks,
