Nice to see this thread is still alive and kicking. I have left my JH600 in storage for over a year now. I miss her more and more:sad:
My bike is an European model but I have converted it back to twin headlight and have been using a Philips 55/65W bulbs ever since. I have had no problem with it but I really try to limit my night riding. I only use the pilot light when riding day time.
"Pilot light"? What is that? Some form of daytime running light that you have wired in?Quote:

It is the stupid laws in China that requires headlight to be turned off during daylight hours that caused the kind hearted road users around you to point at you.

Nice post... interesting !
When told my headlight is on, I used to engage with these guys at stoplights explaining the safety benefits of having your headlight on during the day...but no one quite understood this.Quote:

Haha, now you know how harda job is trying to educate the public:lol8:Quote:

Call me pathetic, but I haven't figured out how to post this video directly in this post.
cheers
Bumping Franki's venerable thread again!
This time to show a little video that apparently has been released by Jialing themselves. This is what it looks like when a state-owned Chinese enterprise with military roots tries to film a sexy motorcycle promotion...
(Needless to say, since it's youtube, mainland viewers will need to run their grandma busters.)

Haha - that Jialing video is a great find, thanks!
Not bad, actually, but where are the girls? :naughty: I've heard people from Chongqing say that CQ girls are the prettiest in ALL of China.
Looked awful lol.
Why so much weeping left to right and back? Is it so unstable ride :lol8:
Sup with driving on the right near the edge of the walking line? TIC? Mopeds drive there in other countries.
When the dude stopped on slow speed he overused front brake and made the front of the bike go down. Better use only rear brake in slow speed stopping which does not make the front go down.
3l / 100km. Really? Really? I seriously doubt that.
150km/h? I doubt that because of the previous lie.
Hello Sir;
Very interesting information. Do you know actuall price for JH600 and JH600B in RMB?
Thanks

Seen "in the wild" of Beijing. :clap:
They were asking 36,000 in Beijing for a JH600A as of a couple weeks ago. Don't know about the B.Quote:

Good evening friends! Motocilcista'm over 20 years. I have an aquila 250. I am wanting to change Traill. The jh 600 BRAZIL came to this with the name of Dunna 600. What say the bike? thank you very much
LOL, in a more perfect world the Jialing would look that good, at first glance I thought they finally straightened out the body work on that bike….but then I realized it was a BMW in drag.

Thanks!
Not sure if anyone else in this forum is following veteran member Franki's ride from California south to Tierra del Fuego in facebook, but he's made a great post today, featuring this picture: https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...17264788_n.jpg
Yes, that's a police officer, presumably in Costa Rica, who nabbed him for doing 93kph in a 60 zone -- ooops! But look carefully -- the officer's radar gun is plugged into a Jialing JH600, the bike Franki made famous in MCM with this very thread! Franki's knowledge of the bike, and the fact that he rides one in China, made him quick amigos with the officer, and he was let off with a warning.
A Chinabike saves the day! I like the "protect and serve" slogan on the side panel!
cheers
