Jialing JH600B Sidecar

Insurance is compulsory, for any vehicle with road plates and registered for road use etc. but the insurance is a Chinese version of third party. Gettting fire, theft or compulsory insurance is near on impossible in China... especially for motorcycles. Some brands e.g. BMW Motorrad, HD etc., have managed to put together a deal for their buyers/owners. But for the masses, one is on ones own.
fiddydude, you should spend some time reading the various threads to get acquainted with the status of motorcycles and motorcycling in this part of the world - if you haven't already.

that really sucks and I hope the best for the owner.....I have been reading quite a bit but honestly find many confusing and often conflicting accounts. Especially re. the CJ750's I was interested in. some folks are legally plated , some have fake plates....some apparently don't know the difference...I can see where insurance co.s would steer away but with this new JH600B seemingly the pride of the China fleet (according to the co. website) one would hope proud new owners could insure their bikes. Back to the CJ's , I was just informed that they are basically all illegal as the GVT only issues legal registrations for bikes for 9-11 years from new....which would exclude CJ.s. Quite confusing indeed.

The situation with the Chiang Jiangs is pretty simple, none can be licensed to a foreigner in a foreigners name even in those jurisdictions where registering vehicles into a foreigners name is the norm (as it is here, but not in supposedly first tier cities like Shanghai). My advice, is steer well away from a CJ750 for use in PRC. Aside from the BS with legality, they are as unreliable as heck...

The JH600B sidecars are legal, and can be plated and consequently insured in those jurisdictions where such bikes are not banned. Remember that there are something like >100 cities in China that ban motorcycles from their respective CBD/downtown areas. In these instances, one cannot usually get a plate for a bike for these areas, they just are simply not issued. Some of these cities also don't even offer one the option of obtaining a motorcycle riders licence.

Insurance is compulsory, it's a form of third party, and becomes increasingly more expensive when it comes to a motorcycle engine displacement >250cc.
Comprehensive insurance as you may understand it, is not usually offered for motorcycles, even if you were to go into a local PanAn <insert insurance company here> and ask for it. Just the way it is.

I did registrar a CJ with a Jing A plate.. sold it last year....

I checked Jialing online and also Taobao , pricing would likely be around CNY50K give or take, depending on how you sourced and where you plated the outfit. You can simply place an order direct with Jialing via their website though you might need to have a local help you if your Madarin skills are not up to the task. Jialing manufacture the JH600's to order, and by all accounts takes around 1 month from the full payment being made. One can either travel to Chongqing to the Jialing factory to take delivery or else arrange with the factory to have the outfit delivered within PRC.

yesterday I learned, 48.000 Yuan, +, +, + in Shanghai

Thanks guys ..that may be the route i take.....but stilll like the old CJ's.....and don't actually mind maintenance.....just finding a legal one that they don't want 30,000 for

Thanks guys, i may take that route but still like the old CJ's and don't mind maintenance....just want to find a legal one hat isn't overpriced and overrestored

Hi,
I recently bought 7 new Jialings of which 3 sidecars. The new price depends on the color standard green goes for 47800, Black 48800, Camo/Sand/White(police) go for 49800.
With Tax and registration (Yunnan plates) came down to 55.000 all in.

If you wonder what i'm doing with these bikes.
