    Saw this couple of months ago, and as luck would have, one came up for sale, I bought it! Absolutely over the Moon with it! It had 800km on the clock, it now has 5400. What an amazing machine, all my mates can’t believe the performance. I have not stopped smiling since I got it. Thanks guys, you did me a right Royal.✌️👍

    Great review.
    I get what your saying about long distance touring and the weight. Thats what is so good about these lightwieght bikes for us lightweight bikers. I am 69 kilos, and I have owned lots of good 220 kilos tourers, but I just got totally tired of trying to park them on uneven surfaces. At the moment I have a crf 250 Rally and am really enjoying it, but I would love to give one of these try.

    I've just been to the Zontes/KTM showroom. I didn't test ride the Zontes but I gave all three models a good eyeballing. I also learned that there are low seat versions available. I think we can forget the reputation of inferior quality that we once had about anything made in China. I think the build quality is excellent even comparable with the KTM's. The list of accessories/gadgets is exemplary, even panniers and top box is included in the competitive price! I will return to the showroom for a test ride but I'm 80% sold already.

    Not stopping a running engine with taking the key away is a safety measure. It prevents accidents.

    Nice looking bike to be fair, but it is directly up against bikes like the Royal Enfield Himalayan (at £3999). Yes the Himalayan is fugly and only has 25bhp, but it proven at what it does and is very capable off road too. I would like to ride both back-to-back and see what they’re like...

      Axeman A tractor? How so? Does the Zontes have any off road capability? The Zontes is a nice looking bike, a baby GS almost; better looking the the BMW 310GS IMHO, but it isn’t ‘proven’. The Himalayan is a capable off roader and is proven to be pretty bomb proof. It has and is being used by riders on round the world trips. It only has 24.7hp, but it has bags of torque due to its long-stroke motor. It is simple to look after and maintain. Heaven forbid you run into electrical gremlins with the Zontes; you could be completely immobilised?! Just my 2p’s worth you understand 😉👍🏻

      @@cloggsy1971 fair comment, I feel the Enfield could have could have upped their game with the low output engine. Classic example would be Suzuki DR400 motor with carburetor. Old school but more useable. Zones definitely going to be problematic to maintain or field repair.

      Axeman There are rumours that RE are going to put the 650 twin engine out of the Interceptor/Continental GT into a Himalayan type bike... Now that bike will be worth waiting for 👌🏻👍🏻 The only issue with a Carb’d bike, is it would never pass Euro 4 regulations, so it couldn’t be sold over here unfortunately 🙄😩

    A lesson for BMW and any other manufacturers don't get your bikes made in China, they will copy your design make it cheaper and kill your market. Why would anyone buy a 310gs now? This is just as good and half the price

    • @olliereed4206
      @olliereed4206 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @shaggy My point is this bike is an amalgam of a bigger GS, (the electronics ) and the 310 (blatant copy of the dry sump motor). BMW spent all their money designing these bits and zontes copied them and put them in a better looking bike. This bike will be just as reliable as a BMW as zontes used to make the majority of components for BMWmotorad who then shipped them to Germany for 'assembly'. This bike is just as good as a GS for what the majority use them for ie that will spend all of its life on tarmac. If you really want to ride off the beaten track cheaply buy a Himalayan. All you need to fix them is a hammer. You can't buy a battery for the Key fob in the middle of the Sahara.....

    For less than a grand more you can have a KTM 390 Adventure. No contest, I'm afraid this bike is style over substance at its worst. Chinese bikes are getting better of that there is little doubt BUT they have to get the basics up to scratch before throwing all these gimmicks at it because all that does is push the price up too close to much better options and way too many things to go wrong or misbehave. Back to the drawing board Zontes and talk more to the people who might buy your bikes before you make them...

    Shit bike, just got back from Barcelona Spain and I rented it to try. Do not buy it weak aluminium parts witch can break really fast if you drop the bike. Parts are not that expensive in Spain then. No speed, seat is not confortable for long distances and no cruisecontrole and speed shifter.

      Aluminium is weaker and softer than steel...of course is breaks easier. Then again...what doesn't break if you drop the bike? Seat, never had an issue with, on a 2 hour ride it was much more comfortable than my Speed triple, my Z1000 and my Mondial. Speed? 95mph for a 300cc is not bad at all. What were you expecting for £4,000?
