Introduction: My New 2008 200cc Qlink XF200 Supermoto


I just purchased this new Qlink XF200 Supemoto. I already have 280 miles on it and am trying to pay close attention to the recommended break in procedure.

This motorcycle is a joint venture between the Chinese motorcycle company Qinqui and the Japanese motorcycle company Suzuki who we all know. Their partnership began in 1994.

For those of you that have never heard of a supermoto, the best way to describe them is they are motocross motorcycles with road racing tires. Supermoto is a form of racing that was started in the 1970 and is now becoming very popular in Europe Australia and the USA. The tracks are very unique since they have motocross style dirt jumps with high speed paved turns.
Now the Qlink XF200 is not a "race ready", "built for the track" motorcycle. It has a smaller displacement 200cc engine. There are bigger, badder sumo's available for people interested in "track days". I will be using my Qlink XF200 for commuting and occasional off road trail riding.
