Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, but the question that remains is, is it also registrable in BJ?
Ahh, the perfect China-roads touring bike, IMHO.
What's so special about Beijing? If it's registerable in anywhere in China, it's also registerable in Beijing. But there's a limit to where you can ride (2nd, 3rd, 4th ring road...), same like most cities in PRC nowadays. Unless there's some new law I don't know about?Quote:

It's a 250!Quote:

ChinaV, would you mind taking a break from buying new bikes for just a week please? Jesus.
Recession my hole.
You are the only other person I know of with the same bike as me......now if we could just build that bridge from Peru to China..........we could ride! I'm curious as to what your impressions are----- I'll be starting on my Luggage system fairly soon--I'll keep you posted---------------:riding:
It seems that each jurisdiction has its own rules. There are many examples of bikes not being able to get registered in Beijing proper, but can get a registration in an adjoining jurisdiction (e.g., Hebei). The Galaxy XTR is an example (cannot be registered in Beijing). The JH600 (can) and JH600B (cannot) is another weird example.Quote:

Anyways ... that is a nice looking bike ChinaV. A friend (Pat) bought a Qingqi recently (his Hebei trip report) and it is a nice ride.
One question, though ... Pat's bike doesn't have a kick starter, and it looks like your new bike also does not. Is that a unique feature of Qingqi?

Three went out, three came in... I'm afraid if I waited too long I wouldn't be able to keep my wife confused :icon10:. No more for quite a while... unless something amazing comes along.:weary:Quote:

This one is not much different, just a few minor upgrades so it feels about the same. I think I will just add to that thread to keep everything in one place. One thing I will mention as you asked before, the digital speedo has a clock and trip meter. If you want to change your bike over, it's a bit complicated as you will need to replace the tach sensor and the speedo drive on the front wheel. Wish I could go for a ride in Peru :riding:, let's keep in touch with the luggage ideas, I will be setting mine up for adventure touring over the next couple months.Quote:
