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.

That does look like an OK deal on that bike though.

the bike in that link is in fact NOT a zong, it is honda based Roketa DB-07, or a shineray xy200gy 460#, NOT a zong.

Actually it MAY be a Zong. Zong also makes Hondoid motors;-)

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.
