Check here at the company website.

I have been looking at their bikes for sale here in New Zealand for about the last 2-3 years. The quality of build, while still somewhat crude compared to the more well-known brands, has improved steadily over that time. I have not heard any stories of major problems with reliability either. By their figures, they produce approximatley 10% of all motorcycle engines made in the world last year. They supply several other Chinese companies with engines.

If their website is to be believed, I would stay on the flat roads, as they claim the 200 will only climb a 20% (1:5) hill. Mmmmmmm.....
