The Chinese are getting serious!


Enter the Zongshen 250 GS.

Ok, first the photographs, and then some text







Zongshen is quite a big name in the land of the dragon. They make scooters, bikes and cruisers, from 125cc to 250cc ones.
The Zongshen GS250 as shown the pics above, is actually not a 250cc motorcycle, but a 230cc one. The mill pumps out 18bhp, enough to push the bike to a company claimed 128km/h. Hmmm.. not bad. Lookwise, the company seems to have taken hints from the Kawasaki GPZ500 (Ninja 500R) and the company has now enterded the UK market too! Not bad..
If Im not wrong,sometime back there was news of a Chinese company coming out with their very own SBK too (send me the link if any of you have one..)
The Chinese have certainly come a long way. Stop getting your lil 100cc puppets here, get in these bigger machines will ya? Price them around the 60K mark and Im sure you will sell a sizable number of these on Indian roads (Ok, Im being optimistic here..)
