Megelli 250R

[Jim]

Right on, sounds good... I know importing these properly (not RUM) costs the distributorship a lot more then the guys selling the rum bikes, but cost is still one of the main factors I think people look at when looking to a Chinese motorcycle. As long as you guys keep that in mind, and are satisfied with the bike it should do well

I think the Megelli 250R is a beautiful little motorcycle. I am always glad to see a nice bike introduced to the market, and I am certainly in favor of competition! I hope your tests go well. If the price is competitive, I am sure many Canadians will enjoy owning this new motorcycle.

I really like the motard, myself and one of the video posters on youtube from Croatia who has a 125cc version (I will have to dig up his nickname) has several videos of him riding through the city and keeping up or passing traffic. He has had the bike for well over a year, and he and I wrote back and forth in his comments for over a year, and last week, when I commented on a new video from him, I asked him how the bike was holding up, and he said still no problems.

LOL notice that JP is a Qlink dealer....

Are they sure that engine is not a DOHC, single-cylinder, four-stroke with four-valves?
Is it a Loncin LC170FMM-2 engine?



I would say that 27hp is enough to make that bike compete against the Ninja 250 in the market but not on a race track, the Ninja is also a twin with twin carburetors.

Will you be offering the same warranty on the bike as Bennche…18 months?

A lot has been said about that bike, but nothing in any real detail. That could be because that engine is not exclusive and if proven then it brings about the next generation of implementations of it. So they say what about it….its source is a secret?

I think it’s a very good design, but it is not my taste in bikes, neither is the Ninja for that matter. I will say this; get on it and ride it before you buy it, or even sell it. The faster you go the more precision matters.

I also have never heard anyone say the bike is manufactured in Taiwan? Will the VIN numbers on those bike begin with R and not L?

(look at the fax header on the NHSTA filing, it is bennche)

This is who manufactures those motorycles,Chongqing Huansong Industrial(group)Co.,Ltd

They were and are a design right of Simon Brown. (English design group)

The bike is not made in Tawain, the engine I believe is a DOHC with four valves, not two. It rated at 27hp not 26.....

Is that enough? Man paper never refuses ink!

Megalli 125 is available in Ireland now. The price is about 3800 euro including VAT. 8O

It was made in Chongqing, China, by HSUN 环松.

Check out its birth place:

They like to add a 'Designed in England' title to their bikes for marketing purpose.

Is that kind of like the lib tech snowboards that say made near Canada?

Bennche is indeed the US distributor for this bike. Innitially they were supposed to be distributed by Qlink. After Johny Tai departed he started Bennche and took along with him the distribution rights for Megelli.

We have some of the units here in our QLINK warehouse. I love the design of it I must say. I am about 6 foot and 160 pounds and I struck me as a bike for a rider less than 6 feet. I did not fit comfortably on it.

I also doubt the 27HP to be honest, it didn't feel that powerfull. Maybe a DYNO test someone? Anyways.. nice bike, fairly expensive and there will be 'gremlins' to consider in the beginning.

Overall, I'd choose the HYO GT250R over the Megelli as alternative to the Ninja.

That is nice information to know, DJ. Since you formerly worked for Hyosung, I am sure you are familiar with their products. I also like the 250cc Hyosung bikes, particularly the naked, Comet motorcycle.

IIRC they also make a 650 V Twin naked sportbike similar to the Suzuki SV. Nice machine.

Indeed, it is a nice bike. I test rode a 650 V-twin when it was being sold as a rebadged, United Motors motorcycle. United Motors has disappeared; perhaps David can give us some inside information regarding their demise.

You are right that Suzuki had taken good place in the racing console. I think that yamaha had also good and pretty. I have referred that Yamaha had been good in pick up and also run so far. Suzuki had provided wast engine and also highly speed. I liked both. I wish that It would be announce new edition as well.

[melvillebutler]

All are awe about the Yamaha . Well, Yamaha had been announced still new edition as far and also come with few more edition as soon as. I hope that I will represent the new model which I have seen and also I have used it.
