thanks for the photos and info....the Shineray looks as skinny as the models! Interesting mix of motos...I must say the Canton Fair motos and Manufactures, though mostly export models, are far better looking and quality, unfortunately for us here in China.
The Guangzhou show did not have motos except those use for display..as they had some outstanding KTM's used for this purpose. It is a show for 'gear heads' as they had everything you need to build your own motorcycle company....
Is the Jialing considered a 'crossover'? which crossover did you like the best? other than the expensive Kawasaki of course.
oops one other question..Honda,,, anything good offered here in china, was the 450, as shown in your photo available here, I see on their website only 150cc and smaller? its surprising with SK offering the 250 for more than a year (and my town the police use them) that honda doesnt offer anything to match SK.
Thanks for all the pics Doc
The red bike you described as " bmw lookalike" did it look like a shineray engine? 250 or possibly 300cc?
Thanks for taking all the pictures bikerdoc.
Just an FYI guys and gals. When you embed that many photos into posts, MCM has to pay for the bandwidth to serve them all. Hosting them on an external image hosting service lets you show much larger images and also reduced the bandwidth hosting costs of MCM.
Not a complaint, just a heads up.
Cheers!
I assume when you write 'crossover' you might be referring to a 'dual sport' motorcycle? If so, then to my mind and based on what I saw, then nothing locally made really stood out. Shineray have some ok bikes, the SRM 500 and 600cc look to be ok too, Jialing - sorry not a fan. The talked about CF650MT is a non-event as yet, with a possible release date near end of 2015 if the Marketing Director's words ring true. As she said, the reason it is taking so long, is that they (CFMoto) want to get it right/perfect. Time will tell.
The only worthy dual sport / adventure model bikes on display were IMO the imported ones e.g. KTM, Kawasaki.
YMMV
You may not be looking on the correct Honda website. For a complete range of imported bikes check out Dreamwing Honda Ch!na. Having written that though, the CB500X which would make a competent platform for Ch!na is not yet available via the Honda distributor, nor are other DS/ADV models.
Taking and sharing the photos - no worries. My only regret is my new Fujifilm camera hadn't arrived in time for my trip to Chongqing (the camera was a replacement for a Fuji Finepix I dropped on a recent trip to TaoHua Dao (island) while taking photos while standing by my bike on the day. I had to make do with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3's camera.
I appreciate being able to upload and share photos easily. It is one of the aspects I like about MCM compared to some of the other dozen+ MC forums I'm a member of - that being the ability to upload photos directly.
I'm not a big fan of having to host photos elsewhere and then link them in, despite me having a (free) photo hosting account. The reason is, as photos are uploaded onto the free photo hosting site, links to previously shared photos drop out and become invalid. It's the reason I don't share many photos on the other forums that require photos to be hosted elsewhere.
If you'd prefer ChinaV, I can delete some photos -if that might make it easier?
Otherwise, maybe it is worth MCM considering a "donate" button/link such as can be found on a couple of other MC forums et al. websites to help with 'costs'?
Footnote: if any MCM member wants to donate towards the cost of my plane ticket (1200), airport parking (200) etc. then I have a Paypal account - LOL
:lol8:
Joke!
Thanks for all the time you spent posting pics.
Very interesting stuff
Thanks for the effort getting the photos up on the site.
Thanks doc! Interesting changes to the Jialing 600 sidecar (beauty in the eyes of the beholder).
I'm not sure I understand why your photo hosting site would be dropping previous pics, I think there was a thread many moons ago about good photo hosting options.
I'm not suggesting you remove anything, I just wanted to point out the benefits of offsite photo hosting. I was using the internet on a 9600 baud modem 20+ years ago, so I look at bandwidth in a very different way than most people. I know many forums have removed direct photo uploading because of the bandwidth issue. The last photo spread I did on the CIMA show was in 2010 and it garnered 33,000 views. I published 170 photos @ roughly 200kb each X 33,000 views = 1.12 terabytes of bandwidth. I'm sure we never would have gotten a fraction of that without all the biker babe pics :lol8:. It's not my forum, so I can't really comment on whether or not it has a financial impact on the owner. I've seen a lot of good posts with photos on MCM, and it always bums me out to see them at such a crappy resolution after the upload process butchers them with compression and resizing.
Thanks again for making the trip and taking the time to share.
Cheers!
The Shineray SRM's come from a investment they made into the rebirth of the SWM brand in Italy using the old Husqvarna factory and rights to remake the TE250,510 and 610 bikes with some small styling changes I hope Shineray will sell them as when Husqvarna was owned my Cagiva they made a running concept of a Mito 125 with a 510 engine for 45bhp at 120~kgs so would of been an awesome little twisties bikes.
Hey folks,
can someone tell me when is in 2015 the Motorcycle exhibition in ChongQing?
Or provide a link to get the details. Thanks to all who answers.
Shuben
CIMA 2015
Starts: 2015/10/18
Ends: 2015/10/21
AFAIK
Thanks. I plan to be there this year ..... to figure out if I start a new china bike adventure to wrench and play and repair. :-)
Thanks for the pictures and reports. Interest to note the CFMoto CF650G police motorbike. Can see longer handle bars and a cross bar to mount the extra police equipment. The headlights design is different, perhaps wider with different parking lights. Does it uses the same H8 bulbs or different ones? Same instrument panel or different?
