Default 2009 Chinese Sportbikes

There was a thread on another board about the 2009 motorcycles that China is making. I just took out the other bikes and listed the 2 sportbikes I found. Probably still junk bikes but it looks like they are improving little by little each year.

First up is the Phoenix R2. This has been seen numerous times already, but for 2009 they are bumping up 250cc.

Specs on the bike: 250cc Water cool Racing Motorcycle 2009 Edition Manufacturer exporting direct from CHINA




And this one I found interesting, its a 500cc one cyclinder with a Subaru engine. It looks like an old 90's zx6r.

specs: NEW 500CC Motorcycle (EPA & CARB Approval) Manufacturer exporting direct from China

I want to find more pics of thumper from different angles. it looks like it has an undertail exhaust.


Zumina: No clue on the price since you have to buy at least 24 of them. From the previous prices I've seen posted on these chinese bikes I would guess the bike cost under $2000 US.

I think over the next few years we'll see some really exciting bikes coming out of China. I'm pretty sure the quality is just gonna improve.

The Chinese wanna compete with the Japanese and the only way to do it is to make really good bikes.

I actually kind of like the screaming baby shit brown bike as its a different color.
I dont think your going to see alot of new competition guys with the current economy, everyone is hurting, in about four or five years, but right now, its all just a pipe dream.

But those are a damn nice looking ride. and actually have their own look, what a concept.

I don't know if you guys ever saw a R2 in person, it's a clown bike lol. I really mean it, it's really, really small. Almost for like a children.

What's even funnier is watching two grown up men, geared up (rare sight in Venezuela) riding around in one

Maybe Tokico. Maybe not.

Remember, there aren't a ton of laws in China that say you can't just make your product look like something and then use that somethings name.

So you and I could go over there and put some shit in a box and call them Tokico brakes and it would be all good.

With that said, I know a guy that's got a Chinese bike. It's a Qlink. It's a nice bike. I've tooled around on it for a few minutes and it seemed to run really well.

They actually make a few pretty sweet looking motards.

No, they have those laws, just nobody gives a shit about them. I Korea I've seen cops buying bootlegged DVDs and other shit. Hell, I have fake Puma shoes and even a fake Louis Vuitton belt. They never try to fool you if something is fake or not. If you ask them, they'll tell you if it is.
