Looks like Pitster Pro has received their XTR200's

[MICRider]

Saw a post on Facebook yesterday, looks like Pitster Pro has received their first shipment of XTR200's and are busily assembling them . I was a little surprised at the picture though, I thought they were supposed to have a rear disc brake and an oil cooler... Looks like that didn't happen. Actually, it looks identical to the Konker / Q Link bikes other than the graphics. It will sure be nice to have someone local that handles parts again . I hope they do well with them, our D/S chinabike offerings are few and far between in these parts! Here's the pic they posted,

Excellent! That's a Q/Konker for sure. Except for the graphics no more and no less. That's great if the price is right.

I prefer the D/S version but I also had the S/M and it was nice too. 8)

Looks like a warehouse full of parts. That's a good thing.

I like the painting/graphics of the Pitster over the Qlink, but that is just getting too detailed. I am glad to see our Canadian members get another opportunity for the Qingqi bike--it's a shame that they (Pitster) tried and failed at the street market with their Shuopu Science-built XTR 250 which were never really street-legal unless you happened to live in a lenient state.

Ironically, one of their US pit-bike competitors got around the exclusivity deal between Qlink and Qingqi in the US, and SSR is supposedly about to release the Pioneer versions of this same bike in the US with both the familiar 200cc engine and a (according to Pioneer) GS250-based 250cc single.

It is nice to see several decent quality Chinese bikes coming this way, and hopefully will continue. Now, about those prices...

A good thing indeed! I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure this is Visionary in Edmonton

[Weldangrind]

I wondered about that.

Thanks for informing us of the good news, Stew! The Qingqi motorcycles are good bikes. I'm glad you now have a new source of spare parts for your Konker.

What is PP Canada charging for these motorcycles? :?:

It looks to have the Konker style headlight. That is good as it's adjustable where as the Qlink's is not. Unfortunately it also has the large, ugly Konker tail light. Funny that it has the silver engine rather than black, though. I also like the graphics better than the Qlink.

A reliable spare parts source is always a good thing . Price is high compared to what you could buy the Q's for in the States but this is Canada after all.... I think around $2700 or $2800. Accessory wheel kit (like my Konker) is supposed to add an extra $600 I think. Bikes are very expensive here.

I was quoted $3140 OTD by a dealer in edmonton about two weeks ago.

[SpudRider]

I forget. Is PP Canada importing the dual sport, XP200 as well? I keep seeing supermotos, but no dual sports. :?

No thanks. Waaaay too much for my budget.

[SpudRider]

I agree. However, I realize we are very fortunate to have such a wide selection of slightly used, Japanese motorcycles to purchase in the United States. The PP XTR200 is undoubtedly a good deal for many Canadians.

Despite having higher prices in Canada, we can still find decent used Japanese bikes for around $2000.00. I wish PP good luck with that price point.
