As Scooter News mentioned it looks a lot like a Ducati sport bike.  I figured <a href="http://www.alternativecruisers.com/index.php?topic=10348.0">Alternative Cruisers</a> would have some information on it since they usually cover Qlink cruisers.  Sure enough they did.

<p>Scooter-news.com reported a sighting of a small displacement <a href="http://www.qlinkmotor.com/index.php">Qlink</a> sport bike at the 2009 Dealer Expo.  As Scooter News mentioned it looks a lot like a Ducati sport bike.  I figured <a href="http://www.alternativecruisers.com/index.php?topic=10348.0">Alternative Cruisers</a> would have some information on it since they usually cover Qlink cruisers.  Sure enough they did.</p>
<p>Turns out this bike is a 125cc single (in Europe) and a 250cc (in the USA).  The designed is by Megelli of England.  These bikes <a href="http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2007/10/23/megelli-motorcycles-to-debut-at-eicma-in-milan/">debuted at EICMA</a> back in 2007.  Price range will be $3000 to $3500.  The 125cc engine is produced by <a href="http://www.sym.com.tw">SYM Taiwan</a> and has a ceramic coated cylinder.  There is also a 50cc version in the works.</p>
<p>The Megelli website explains:<br />
<cite>75% of all components are Taiwanese manufactured and raw materials purchased are to Western standards to ensure the quality box remains ticked. The power unit is purchased from SYM Taiwan which includes a ceramic coating cylinder – not a cheap option, but worth every one of your hard earned Euros! Developing a genuine 11hp, this unit has a proven track record and creates a respectful power to weight ratio for a lively ride.</cite></p>
