Well, OOL, I really appreciate sites like yours. There seems to be a dearth of information on ALL of the Chinese bikes- including Vbike (although their site is a little better than most)- the manufacturers and dealers should really be out there, putting info on their sites with many pictures and thorough specs, etc. I don't know why they don't do this- it would act as advertsing (and the best kind of advertising). The more info they'd put out, the more likely people would be to try their bikes. People don't plunk down hundreds or thousands of dollars for the unknown . The more info out there on the bikes..the better.

If it wasn't for what I'd read on these forums, I never would have tried a Chinese bike. Even Vbike's site wouldn't have been enough.

I'm going to post pics and info and vids of my v4sw when I get it up and running (Didn't have time to touch it today- hopefully I'll get it all together tomorrow)- and I have a feeling a friend of mine will be buying at least Vbike- and if he should get a diffewrent model Vbike, I'll take pics of his, too, and share info. (He hasn't even seen mine yet- and he's getting excited! I'm trying to stall him from coming over, until I have 'er up and running)

Awww....you can send that big, bad MWQ on over here for a good ol' *** whompin'!

If you were in SJ we could have met and gone riding. I ride OK for a old guy.

 

For an old guy I am even better than MWQ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img].

My son is the pilot but I am sure we have been over the KentuckyDonkey's place and didn't even realize it. KY is a neat place to fly over because how its all cut up I think because and don't quote me on this but the French didn't subdivide into quarters.

This is true.

Maybe I flew over it on my way to Md last Dec?

 

I checked out the Vbike site as I hadn't been there in a long time. Yes that v4sw does look sharp doesn't it with the newer style plastic package on it. But again its different the how the Jetmoto's are spec'd. Rear suspension is different, less expensive tire package, and it has drum brakes up front I noticed. Plus the battery is outside by the tire. I wonder if they moved the battery there because of a better air box?? Who knows its seems they all do it a little differently. If one could pick and choose how I guy wanted it put together that would be great! But then it probably cost so much it would be pointless.

 

I talked to Tim yesterday. The V4SW is based on the Kawasaki KFX 450R looks wise. Also, I found this guy on you tube who is getting on his Vbike pretty good http://www.youtube.com/user/split196 Is that anyone from this forum I wonder? Money wise, my budget is $1300 so, I am going to opt for the Vbike I believe. I just picked up a 1985 Honda ATC 200M three wheeler also for $500. I am getting ready to change the oil in it this weekend and I will try to post some pix of it.

I haven't been there since I was 9. Let's just say it's been a while. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Stupid metric system.

 

Here they are:

Vbike


KFX 450R

 

That's a nice looking bike! Pretty similar to the 'Saki.
