Buying a bike, need an advice
Knowing how hard is to get used bike in good condition, with all paperwork and so on, I am considering buying something cheaper, made in China. Still, I would prefer to get Japanese bike, but maybe its worth giving a Chinese bike a go. I found on Taobao a bunch of decent looking bikes but wondering if they are actually worth any interest. Has anyone had any experience, issues, or information with bikes below?

What engine would be the best here? 150,200,250? air / water cooling?

Hi. I am living in Beijing and bought a Zongsheng RX3 http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-...cle/24499.html250ccm im March of this year after i got my driving license. Now the counter shows 4300 km. No problems until now. Motorcycle looks like a small BMW Enduro. 25hp and a GPS speed of approx 125 is okay. I like this bike. Price was 21000RMB incl. registration and insurance. For further informations send a message.

I would avoid the bikes in the links you posted, they are all show.

What he said . There is very little aftersales service in China but there is less than zero on taobao. Also the last thing you want is any kind of sportsbike/ crotchrocket replica . Some kind of dualsport is the go for China. The Rx3 recommended above is a fair bet.
Re: Buying a bike, need an advice
Buy a bike which is often exported and kn own all over the world. Like a YBR125, CBF150 etc. Also buy it from a real dealership not from Taobao.

PM me your budget and what you are looking at.
I have a ER6n 2014 with full paperwork bought from dealer. But I am looking to sell it in a few months.
