QLINK will be introducing a new line of bikes to the U.S. market. Designed by Megelli of England and built in China, these bikes have been sold in Europe for about a year with a 125cc engine, but will be sold in the U.S. with a 250cc engine. The bikes are expected to be priced in the $3K to $3.5K range.

There will be three models.

The first will be a faired sport bike.


Second looks to be a naked version of the sport.


Last is a dual sport.


Edited by Bill to fix engine size typo.

Remember, you got to see it here first, even before the doors open at Indy!

I love the faired sportbike too - but I am picturing that naked version with off road knobbies and a top box. I am spending way too much time reading the ride reports at ADVrider.  laugh laugh

I may be mistaken, but aren't cruisers the majority of bikes sold in the U.S. (probably not by a whole lot, but I remember reading that.)

I'm always wondering why companies come out with a line to be introduced in the U.S. and often won't have a cruiser available. Sad  Of course the sportbikes are great, but I'd love more option on cruisers too.

Hmm they certainly look the part. They have a website with any specs on the upcoming 350cc models?

Wow Bill, what a way to wake up.  I too REALLY like the faired Sportbike, even the naked as well.  And love the idea of a 350.

Beween these and the new Legacy, I am SO excited for the new direction Q-Link is taking everything.  I suspect they will leave CF Moto far behind.

Nice job on getting the pics Bill.  Guess folks really are starting to understand the influence that ACD has.  Wink

Nice set of options.  As far as the cruiser goes Qlink has the 250cc Legend (Unless it has been dropped from the lineup)  Seeing the options they are offering is a positive sign that they want to stay in the market and develop products that fit in this market.

350 is a nice size engine.  Big enough for highway travel and good economy.  I will have to take a look at one when the dealer gets one in.

Sorry to dash everyones hopes, but 350cc is a typo on my part. It will be a 250cc. I will correct the original post.

My apologies.

I gotta say guys, and this is coming from a former owner of a Legacy, I do not like the new model at all.  It almost looks like a toy. The split in the gas tank for the compartment is just weird to me and makes it even more like a scooter.  I really like the look of the new sport bike however.  Just my opinion. Lips Sealed
