Greetings from Chongqing, I'm Dave McMullan the 'Englishman in China.' Among other things I'm the International editor of ChinaMotor Magazine and co-organiser of the China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition (CIMAmotor). You can check my credentials at www.chinamotorcyclenews.com
Would be delighted to get some reviews from real riders (as opposed to the self-serving reviews I recieve from company test riders).
Cheers
Dave
Hi Dave, welcome to the forum. :thumbsup: Holy cow, co-organiser of CIMA? That must be like cat herding! :lol8:
But harder! Managing to move forward with the expo now after a couple of crap years, looking to double its size now we have the new (ridiculously big) venue.
Excellent, welcome aboard the crAzy MCM bus... we must all be loonies in 'ere (to be 'ere in the first place!?).
Plenty of real RR and bike reviews can be found here on MCM. Take a wander through the various categories and you'll find plenty of reviews, some newer than others. To start the ball rolling... CFMotor CF650 compilation thread
But there are plenty more done by both new and older members on MCM.
Looking forward to reading your future contributions.

I commute 150 miles a week to and from work on a 200cc TMEC enduro with motard tires/wheels (engine is the 167fml Zongshen engine) with little drama. Bike has accumulated approx. 8000 miles in the last year since I bought it used. Not an exciting review, not a terribly exciting bike, but it is significant in that it is Chinese, and ridden daily (I live in Arizona in the US so is able to be ridden year round).
I know Doug from the US who writes for you just posted in Chinariders.net; one of our longtime members 'Spudrider' on Chinariders just passed an indicated 60,000 miles on his Zongshen Sierra enduro (the one that uses the TW 200 clone engine). Now, if you can have him write something, and include photos of his mountain riding around Idaho, that would make for a more interesting article/review.
Double cheers for the report!
