New Jetmoto enduro...looks familiar?!

culcune · 08-21-2007, 12:30 AM

I happened upon the Jetmoto site today looking for their phone number and came across their new enduro. It looks just like the Lifan GY-5 model, but when I was speaking with Dmitri, Jetmoto's parts guru, he claimed that it was not a Lifan. Jetmoto actually does have their own Chinese factory (again, according to Dmitri) and use Zongshen engines, but I think that their "factory" is more of one of the big company's excess manufacturing capacity rather than a separate building with a Jetmoto sign on the roof.

Looks like a lifan to me.

I noticed a different tire than the standard china bike. More knobby looking.

Who knows which tire the bike ends up with once delivered?

Jetmoto being the reputable company it is, needs someone to take the plunge and let us all know the good and bad with this new bike. Raceway ATV and kidatvs.com both list the bike for $1500 shipped to your door, and calling Jetmoto directly will at least match that price. So c'mon, someone order one and let us know!
