Loncin Group Import & Export Co. Ltd
While researching Lifan, the name Loncin turns up. According to the information source, Loncin is second after Lifan in terms of export quantity in 2004. The company is also based in Chongqin.
Production capacity per year is 1.5 million motorcycles. Motorcycles are exported to the UK, the US, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Iran, Nigeria, South Africa and Argentina.
For such a big company, they sure have a small web foot print. The unimpressive website is just a corporate profile hosted by online B2B marketplace GlobalSources.

Jiangsu Xinling Motorcycle Fabricate Co., Ltd
One thing you may notice about Xinling’s website. There isn’t a Chinese version!
It could probably mean that the company do not have significant market in China (unlikely) or website is a marketing tool specifically for export oriented international clients.
A search on Google turns up alot of export, sourcing site leading to not much information. The company website itself is buried deep in the search result.

Zongshen Motorcycle Group (宗申产业集团) is another motorcycle manufacturer in Chongqin (Lifan is also in Chongqin).
Among Chinese motorcycle manufacturers, it is interesting to note that Zhongshen Motor has a MotoGP team. Are they the only one?

Shanghai Xingfu Motorcycle Works (上海幸福摩托车) is another major Chinese motorcycle manufacturer. Based in Shanghai, the company is owned by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) a giant auto group that owns a whole string of other auto related companies.
Xinfu Motor is the first motorcycle website encountered so far that is Firefox unfriendly.
This is especially common in China where cross-browser compatibility is nonexistant. Just like the the omnipotent authority that supervise all activities, the omnipresent Microsoft infiltrate all computer operation.
