Chapter 7: Qlink XF200 Demand Surpassed

Well it is anticipated to be short lived, about 2 weeks roughly, but dealers stateside are running out of the Qlink XF200. The demand for this awesome, priced right, extra fun (that is what the XF in XF200 stands for) 200cc supermoto has exceeded expectations. Although there is no official posting of the shortage here is the official Qlink website.

Quite honestly they really don't have there act together as far as accessibility and updating the website. They have a section for news but it has not been updated in the 6 months I have been following it. They don't even mention the XF200 in that section. To me that is surprising. Although they did add a new dual sport model, the XP200 and updated the prices in that timeframe. I am not sure if they understand the importance of the website. I have contacted them about aftermarket parts via email. It took them about a week to respond in broken English and very abruptly said do not call them call the dealer. I got the same response when I called them. A secretary who also spoke broken English and referred me to my dealer. I believe I called Texas as that is where one of the 2 main warehouse are in the United States.I don't have anything against broken English, just passing on my experiences. The lady seemed quite surprised when she asked me If I was a dealer when I replied no. Like they have not had any calls from individuals.

Now when a piece of body plastic broke when it fell over in the truck when being delivered to my house it only took a few days to get it replaced. My dealership JP Motorsports has been great.They are very interested I feel in a strong commitment to the XF200 and some other Qlink products. Don't get me wrong they sell all the Japanese stuff too!

So anyways, this shortage should just be a little blip in the new budding North American expansion For Qlink.
