I talked to my China Bike Guy briefly today. I didn't get a big chance to talk to him much about his trip to China he took for the month of May and business dealings, etc.....BUT I did ask him, "When the heck are we going to be able to get Zongs 200 Sierra's in the PRK!?"
He said.....not likely soon, but he thinks the Q-Link is legal to be green stickered here! He's going to check into it for me!....but he also said, "They're terribly expensive for a China bike. I can buy them for what I usually like to sell them for. The markup I'd have to put on for being a retailer puts me right in to the 'Why not just buy Japanese?' bracket."

The Zongshen Sierra 200GY-2 is not going to be imported into the United States in the future, LZ. :( Zongshen is going to replace the 200GY-2 with another bike, probably the 150cc, Zongshen ZS150GY-10 motorcycle.

That is a very nice looking motorcycle in the vid, though. The quality and finish look very nice! ....but I don't get two things. It's smaller in displacement....and why on Earth would someone water cool a 150cc 4 stroke!? :roll: Just more to service and break! :x

If you were building a 150 four stroke to the outer limits of compression, liquid cooling would make sense. Otherwise, what a nuisance.

Personally, I think Zongshen made a mistake when they decided to stop importing the 200GY-2 into the United States. I can't help wondering if Yamaha had something to do with this decision. :?:
