no info on euromot gxt200
 

i have searched on there forums and also on google for information on the euromot 200. But found little substantial information. Can any one offer some more information or direct me to a good source??

There is a good thread on advrider from a couple who road the chinese named one around China. Search for it. I tried one out for size today. Super light but also pretty small. I am only five foot five and found it small. The mechanic reckons the economy was excellent but sorry I cannot remember the exact figures. the engine is an exact copy of suzuki dr200. Hope you manage to get something sorted. All the best.

Hi im also looking for information on this bike or similar sized engines to ride around South America. Ill check out Ruthies recommendation above.

I know there are three hubbers who have just rode across south america recently who were looking at a bike like the euromot but they never said what they ended up buying. I think the user name was ellie or something. im going to have another good search in the next few days.

If i find anything useful ill post back on this thread.

you have probably done so already but if not, check the following thread out. there is a few links to things that might be useful, also the china trip that I mentioned previously. it might also be worth contacting the guy Ziegeuner who has bought a couple of these bikes for touring.

helps if you have the link

I've been riding a Euromot GXT 200 for the last 5 months across South America. I started in Chile, rode across the Andes to Argentina the into Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and I just came back to Argentina. What exactly would you like to know?

The bike is reliable. It is rather slow on the motorway. Also the seat isn't the most comfortable thing in the world and the tank is smaller than the one in the Suzuki DR 200, but considering it gives me 35 km/lt on average with me and all my stuff attached that hasn't been an issue so far.

The chain requires frequent adjustment and the quality of the plastics leaves a lot to be desired.

thanks for the info guys. Really good.

To the above poster. What is the top speed? Think i could squeeze 40,000 miles from one? And what did you do for luggage set up?

Thanks!

This bike actually sounds pretty good!

Top speed in flat asphalt with no wind would be 110 to 120 km/h with a lot of vibration between your legs. I try to keep it at around 6000 rpm which gives me a cruise speed of around 80 km/h on your average South American road.

So far I've done 12.000 km and zero issues with the machine. I believe you can squeeze a lot more than that from this one with proper maintenance.

Things I've needed so far: Two fuses, one spoke, a tyre inner tube, one rear light bulb, one spark plug and a few oil filters. I need to change a couple of broken plastics and the chain guide one of these days. Also a cat sharpened its nails on my seat and is now full of little holes.

My luggage setup has changed from a rucksack attached with a rope to two duffel bags and a garden chair attached with rope to the bike. There's a biker on this forum (Zigeuner53) who got custom made rack for it in Santiago de Chile for 50.000 CLP but he wasn't too pleased with the final results. AFAIK there are no off the shelf solutions available for this one.

Common complaints I've heard or read about this bike include:

Front lights are poor, unsuitable for riding at night. I don't ride at night so I don't care. A xenon kit costs around 100 USD here if you do.

Comes from the factory with low quality tyres. I'm still with the original ones so they last quite a bit, but it's true they are far from the greatest. They are specially bad on wet roads. If buying new try to get them changed by the dealer from day one.

Spokes need frequent tightening and break fairly easily. Personally I've only cut one spoke.

Chain is as cheap as it gets.

Could use a bigger tank and a wider seat.

The machine itself is great. It's just a Suzuki DR 200 in disguise.

Tip: There's a great service manual for the Brazilian version of this bike floating around the internet as a pdf. Only problem is it's written in Portuguese, but has loads of pics and diagrams and is fairly easy to understand.

Euromot GXT 200 MOTARD
 

I just had a look at the new Euromot GXT 200 MOTARD at this url.
osCommerce

I must say it looks pretty cool. About 25% more expensive than the GXT Enduro at $2,600 U.S

Anybody bought one of these yet?

Ok maybe they are not so new, just a new model Seems they have been around since 2007 at least
