Mark Pullen, a bike reviewer I respect did a very positive you tube review on the Zontes 310 recently, a Poole Moto demo bike I believe. My local dealer Smalley Cross motorcycles just north of Derby also has a demo bike and as a long standing bike dealer leading brand bikes, they get top class reviews. I'm very tempted to book a go. I think they've registered one of the new 350GK bikes, looks great as we'll. Think it's safe to say Zontes are going places.

There's an article on Visordown or somewhere where Zontes have unveiled a prototype 700-1000cc triple! And one of the other Chinese brands has shown a large V4. Now when these companies start doing a Tmax/AK550 competitor, then we'll have to take notice!
Agree with your views on Mark Pullen's reviews - very informative. I'll go and recheck his Zontes review vid.

How do you know what dealership I'm referring to?

Well it’s the only dealer I know that sell zontes that’s local to both of us

Are you near Colchester DTO? There are several Zontes dealers in Essex now. I'm sure you are most likely right.

Yes I am , The same town as mottza ( Chris ) . In fact his parents live at the top of the road too .
The only local zontes Dealer I know about is manleys in clacton .

There's a Zontes dealer at the Hythe quay. Name of them escapes me just at this moment but they have a large training school. They often don't carry them in stock but are available to order they said. They also sell Sinnis & Lexmoto, again not carrying many models in stock. At least, that's how is was a year or so ago. My nephew tech'ed for Manley's a while ago but now techs elsewhere for another Zontes dealer.

We must have seen each other on the road many times. I'm a frequent visitor to Wivenhoe. I have many friends there. Do you go to Bentley? Chris & me often pop over on Wednesdays. We must meet up.

I've watched the Mark Pullen video test. The Zontes looks like a remarkably decent scooter at a great price. 30+HP sound like an upgrade on the Vespa GTS! I could be tempted.

Have been to Bentley with chris a few years ago . Used to go when I owned a bigger motor bike not so much now with only scooters .
