Re: China INTERMOTO Motorcycle Expo 2013 (Shanghai)
I just came back from the ChinaCycle2013 in Shanghai New Intl. Expo Centre.
I was expecting bicycles AND motorbikes (as of this http://www.intermotorcycle.com/en/)
SO WRONG!
Not a single Motorcycle! :confused1:
I was in every hall.. even in the ongoing food and food packaging fair halls.
As TB-Racing said, good for bicycle and bicycle gear, but don't expect any Motorcycles.. unless there's another "Secret Shanghai New Intl. Expo Centre" that I don't know of..
I don't even want to mention the one hall marked as Motorcycles and E-bikes, since nothing in there qualifies to be called Motorcycle IMO.
Not a waste of time, because I'm also interested in bicycles, but still a disappointment.

Dear MCM, Slenderman,
I decided not to trust you and went anyways. :riding: I did find motorcycles, but it was not worth the visit. The motorcycle pavilion was outside the main structure of the exposition, in the yard, and it looked like a white tent (maybe that's the reason you missed it).
There were only two motorcycle companies, Benelli/Qianjiang and Lifan. Total of 4 bikes >= 250cc :frump:
First/second: Benelli BJ600GS (normal version and "tuned" version).

Third: Qianjiang QJ250-L

Fourth: Lifan Powerman 250

I also liked this 150 Qianjiang. Small, but with "bigger bike" built. Notice the rear suspension spring, sooo oversized.

The only thing I could do was speak with a sales manager from Qianjiang that told me they sold 300 BJ600GS in Shanghai in 2012 and 3000 overall in China. Do these numbers make sense to you guys? Also, I came to know that they held a conference about motorcycles in China on Monday, anyone was there and can tell us if it was of any interest?

Correct, outside pavilion [W5-a] had a tiny corner allocated for the MOTORCYCLE EXHIBITION.
What a joke, just saw the signs while walking along the other expo outside today....
