Re: My GZ has no spokes
Hey Kent. If you do buy them, can you share the price with us ? Or with me in a PM ? I like them too. Looks cool.

Here's the link if anyone wants to ask:
http://www.hensimmotorcycle.com/gallery ... +250CC.htm I most likely can't afford them so I hate to ask them having no intention of buying. :roll:

Re: My GZ has no spokes
On sale for 1,849.00 U.S. The posted specs make it a very under powered bike with more weight than a GZ. Of course if that doesn't matter then go for it.

Most of the local small companies that sell these Chinese bikes here in the US simply don't have a consistent supply chain and they simply aren't knowledgeable enough in their own product to know how to order part for you. I can't tell you how many times I've called "reputable" dealers in the area asking about parts for my Chinese bikes and I've known much more about what parts will fit than they do... It's too bad, really, because the product (the bike iteself) is worthy of a larger market in the US, but the sellers and even the owners are just full of misinformation and a lack of product support. If they would just run their shops like the Japanese dealers do, then there should be no real difference between the two. There should be real competition. |

Re: My GZ has no spokes
Wish I had your faith in Chinese bikes! Over here, the Lanvertti was so bad that the local bike shop where I bought it got my money back for me (brand new bike - one day on the road, 2 in the workshop ) I wasn't the only one with problems. When word got around, just how bad they were, the importers went bust & closed down.

Re: My GZ has no spokes
What engine did that bike have?
When they first got here, they were all crap. You couldn't really give the first ones away (similar to Harley's in the early 70s and th Jap bike when they first showed up.) But in the last 5 years or so, they have really found a groove. One of the best things about them is that even though they are sold under 100 different names, there are only really 5 engine being used; 3 Honda clones and 2 Yamaha clones. (The Honda Rebel engine, the Honda Helix engine, and the GY6. The Yamaha line has the Linhai 250 and the V-star 250) So that makes maintenance and parts readily available, but people are under the belief that they cannot crossover parts, which is simply false. I've had several bike shops tell me that Helix parts won't work on my Helix clone engine... lo and behold, I order a Helix performance exhaust system and a helix thermostat housing and it bolts right up; like it was meant to fit... because it was. The plastics are still touch and go. Some companies are selling top notch plastics and some are still using the brittle crap. But the carb, for example, on my Qlink, is a genuine Keihin CVK30 from Japan (stamped on the casing). It takes real CVK jets and other carb parts. Here is a quick glance at two bikes. Tell me which one costs $10,000 and which one costs $2500. |
