Getting my new bike on Tuesday - 2008 Xingyue XY 250GY

mebigdave · 08-20-2008, 11:59 PM

The Xingyue XY 250GY is a direct copy of the Honda XR250L

Here's a write up about it but the Google translation doesnâ€™t make too much sense:

Man that bike is beautiful!! Lucky you. Do you think it will be possible to transplant the rear swingarm from the honda to this one?
BTW, its frame and swingarm construction and welding look very similar craftsmanship to that of my Skyteam 200.

Everything it directly replaceable with Honda XR parts except for the brakes as the Chinese have use the dual piston callipers.

That's an awesome looking bike! Congrats!

Can't wait to hear your evaluation of it.

That is a great looking bike.

Thanks guys - just wish I could find more info on the internet about it. There was a road test done on it in Hong kong that was in a chinese but the translasion makes no sense. I think a found a forum that the guy that rode the bike during the test was giving feedback but this was also translated with Google and is hard to make out every thing he was saying. I would like to think he was happy with the bike!

I think that's 26.81hp compared to my Shinreray XY200GYE 16.756hp

Looks like I may be able to get a HOTCAM for it as well:

That Skyteam 200 looks like a very cool Motorad bike! Do you have road tyres on her?
