RE: Zongshen ZS250
Hello. It is clear that you are happy with the motorcycle but it is also clear that there are issues to ownership such as:

1. Registration in a number of states in the United States can be problematic with this particular brand and model. 2. It is not considered a road certified vehicle in most states requiring the buyer to obtain and MSO and MCO for the motor vehicle. 3. I and 4 others purchased this motorcycle from an online dealer who sells on ebay. This is common practice with motorcycles brand new and used. The dealer claimed the "sports tourer" category, claimed reliability and claimed handling stability. 4. None of the dealer claims came through. On a 2,000 mile tour, 3 of the 4 motorcycles broke down. When we called Zongshen's "office" in the California, it turns out parts are an import-only proposition.

Maybe you work for Zongshen. Which is why you're promoting this in the wiki when it is clear that the "facts" you are pertaining to are based on manufacturer claim.

I, on the other hand, am an actual user with a few friends who did purchase the same machine. 75% of our machines failed in the 1st "tour" we did. We have ridden our motorcycles on 5,000 mile tours and have not had the kind of failure rate these Zongshen machines have had. How do you classify a tour? In my case, a tour is anything above 2,000 miles in a round trip. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chinarider100 (talk • contribs) 04:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
