ChinaV's Galaxy XTR250

Galaxy Motorcycles (Foshan Galaxy Vehicle Co.,Ltd) is based in southern China, near GuangZhou, a province of GuangDong. Galaxy is a division of Yinhe (Guangdong Yinhe Motorcycle Industry Co.,Ltd).  As with most Chinese motorcycle manufacturers the lineup consists of small displacement machines, the largest being the Galaxy XTR250 dualsport. The 223cc air cooled four stroke appears to be well suited for dirt use but it has a headlight and turn signals.

The USD forks on the XTR250 is adjustable for compression and rebound have 10.5″ of travel. The rear shock has 10″ of travel and is linkless as most KTM’s have been in the past. This is great for simplicity but without a quality rear shock dampening will not be as consistent as a suspension system with a linkage.

Nice features include electric start, red anodized hubs and two positions to mount the handlebars. ChinaV on MyChinaMoto.com mentions the fit and finish is not up to Japanese standards but above average for a Chinese motorcycle. He also took a video of the bike in action which you can see below.

In 2008 Galaxy entered two bikes in the Taklimakan Rally, the Dakar of China, and finished 5th overall and first in it’s class.

If you are in the UK check out Southern MotorCycle (SMC) and in South Africa you can find them under the Puzey name.

Yoko, a member of the SRMC forum posted a ride report of his trip to Old Town of Lijiang, Yunnan, China aboard his Shineray X2X. The translation through Google Translate was pretty rough but the dozens of pictures he posted tell a great story of travel with friends. Click the break to see a few of the great shots.

A picture of a Shineray X4 was posted on Shineray China’s forum. I was not able to translate any details beyond the drawing with google translation tools. It looks to be based on the Shineray X2 XY250gy-2 but has more of a Honda Transalp setup.

Shineray seems to be intent on developing it’s 250 single line up with a supermoto and sportbike version of the X2. It is possible we will see similar models in a 400cc version.

Keeway is best known as a manufacturer of scooters. Thier website now shows 4 different motorcycle models. The TX series of supermoto and enduro motorcycles are the most interesting. The TX 50 is a 2 stroke with modern styling, angular bodywork, underseat exhaust and integrated turn signals. The TX 125, has a very similar appearance but has a 125cc 4 stroke engine. I am looking forward to seeing these bikes in person. Not a lot of information out there yet. Keep an eye on the Keeway Forum for more information as it surfaces.
