Bike is foiled in mat grey all over, similar to the engine housing color.....
Mileage is currently around 13k km
Think about it and let me know.... I'm going to use it until I leave in summer...
Condition for China is good! Not much to do at the moment...

Im still waiting on a couple documents for my Z-visa just now and then I still need to get my licence swapped over so it will still be a little while before Im actually looking to buy. Your one sounds pretty good. How old is it and what sort of money would you be looking for it?
Re: Hello from a Scottish guy in Beijing
I can confirm that Dave's bike is a great one. We ride since two years from time to time together.
It is in great condition and good for faaaaast round in the BJ mountains :-)
Re: Hello from a Scottish guy in Beijing
Welcome to the forum, I'm also in Beijing. Give me a shout once you get a bike and we can go ride. I post rides on this forum, but no one seems to show for them (yet).
Cheers!

Definatley! Are there many groups of bikers who go out riding around Beijing? I heard something about a cafe where bikers meet up at outside Beijing but I didn't know if it was real or not.

If there are groups, I certainly don't have my thumb on their pulse... haha. I usually end up riding solo, but I found a Canadian guy who likes to ride and we did one ride earlier this winter (I posted the ride here but no one from this site replied). We'll be doing more rides come spring. I know a group of riders (all Chinese) that have a wechat group I'm on... they have asked me to ride with them, but they tend to like larger groups... 20 or 30 bikes at a time (or more), and I prefer small groups... two to four bikes at a time is about perfect.
And that seems to be the thing.. most motorcycle shops organize rides on the weekends, but they seem more geared towards huge groups. I hate riding in huge groups.
Re: Hello from a Scottish guy in Beijing
Well yeah I'd be game and I agree 20 or 30 bikes is like a gang rather than a riding group. What bikes do you guys ride?

I ride a Honda CBF190R. Gordon rides a Yamaha 400 (I think it's an FJ or an FJR, not sure). He left for the winter and will be back sometime in the spring. Not sure if he'll pick up something different then or if he kept his Yamaha. Anyway, small displacement bikes are way more common. My little Honda suits my riding style, though: slow on the straights and ringing its neck in the twisties... :)
Re: Hello from a Scottish guy in Beijing
My gut feeling is that I'll be looking for a bike around March/April time and I would have to see what I can actually get for that sort of money. That type of bike on a b-plate is exactly what I'm looking for though.
