Yep that looks nice but its still only a 250 I think I need a 400cc bike to satisfy me totally.

But If I was looking to buy then that one would be a serious bike to look at you know once it gets approved and here.

Saw a 125 or 150cc version of that bike this past weekend. I was less than impressed.

The swingarm looks cool, but is so far extended I wonder how the bike turns. The front suspension was squashed low, with only a kid on board.

The alloy kick stand snapped off the bike.

Dosent look like it weighs 128 kg. Slightly more than My lifan. I like the idea of larger displacment liquid cooled engines comming out. why dont they just make it bigger!!!
7.5 stars on coolness, I would give it a 9.5 if it was not for that the silly looking kickstand, Maby if you need to put a baja flag on your bike it would be okay

We're getting picky...this is a dual sport with lighting! Better looking than the more common GY's IMO--refreshing, almost!

GY_Racing · 05-09-2008, 10:34 AM

Are you sure its road legal. Where are the blinkers and stuff? How much does it cost? I just looked at the phone number. Its defiantly not anywhere in this country!!

Here is the 125cc... looks like it is road legal to me. I'll bet it would be a great starter bike. Style and design is changing fast.

GY_Racing · 05-09-2008, 01:15 PM

Its cool looking but it does not look like you can get it in the US or Canada. It's just a tease and for all we know it could be 3 grand or more.

Rizn · 05-09-2008, 04:29 PM

I think it looks sweet, hell of a step in the right direction,

AZ200cc · 05-09-2008, 04:45 PM

I was checking this one out, But I doubt it will ever come to the US.

With all thats going on with the chinese cycles I'd be interested in this.........If $5600 is to much for you then dont look

I figure I'm over just half that cost on my LF200GY after purchase and upgrades and tinker time on mine alone and my LF200GY would never be able to keep up to that bike performance wise, durability wise or in resell value.

I just wonder whats holding the chinese back from bringing in the bigger better bikes.(no a 250 isnt really bigger to me

)

The Japanese brands seem content with the Chinese brands feeding at the bottom of the barrel, sort of speak. I think if the Chinese go after the more lucrative market share, the Japanese will wage economic war against the Chinese, and the Chinese are not ready to go to economic war because their products just aren't as good.

theENIGMATIC · 05-09-2008, 05:24 PM

The Orion looks nice, maybe a bit too sporty for my taste though?
I think the Chinese probably have some pretty wicked bike types out there..the cheaper models are probably Lifan and Shinerays, etc...best way to make profit......
Most riders are gonna go for the big names even if the products are of the same quality......
Why should a Chinese manufacturer like Lifan spend the same amount as say Kawasaki or Aprilla on the production of a bike and then sell for less?

You know what, I was looking at those on the net the other day and wondered "just how would that compare/compete against the drz400s"
I've always liked yamaha products but that 400 just fits the need for me the best.
