OK, we're off.... well not really. I'm sitting in the Shenzhen airport waiting through a two hour flight delay :gaah:.

Anywhooo.... check back in tomorrow for some pics from the show. I'm only going to be there on Thursday and half of Friday, so I'll be making the majority of the show report after I get back.
And if you're in ChongQing, please send me a message and maybe we can hook up :kumbaya:.
Cheers!
ChinaV
Fantastic, looking forward to the report!:popcorn:
I hope that by the time you read this your plane has moved!
Waiting in airports is a horrible way to spend a life... we need space ships shaped like motorcycles!
Looking forward to the photos and report.

Is it just me.... :frump:
Before we start digging into the good stuff, here's my quick summary of the show. There were a lot of new motorcycles, and it looks as if 2011 is going to be a very exciting year for the China powersport market. Consolidation and integration across the industry is bringing improvements in quality, design, and marketing that were lacking in the past. China moves fast, and this event was a good indication of how rapidly things can change here.
I was very surprised with how small the show was. China has the largest motorcycle industry on the planet, and this gathering was a very incomplete representation of what's available here. The Chinese should stop the fragmented regional approach to industry events, and come up with a national exhibition showcasing the entire industry. I think this would draw a lot more international attention, as well as make it easier for the domestic manufacturers to focus on one big event for the year.
What the show did offer was a vast array of upcoming models from many of the biggest names in the industry. Harley Davidson had one of the largest display areas in the building, but absent were big names like BMW, Ducati, and Regal Raptor. Foreign companies like Laser Exhaust systems looked quite busy, yet you couldn't find a single manufacturer of handlebars or handgrips. These kind of issues make it difficult for people to justify the expense and time of traveling, so I hope future shows will be able to draw more vendors. Overall, I would say attendance was pretty good. I didn't see a lot of foreign faces in the crowd, but I did see many Chinese bikers arriving in groups, and you could see they were excited about what was being displayed.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit, and hope this thread will kick off some discussions about what's to come in 2011. Hope you enjoy!

OK, I'll bite. What is that red beast you're astride in the final image? I see dual discs up front.
More!
cheers
That beast is the one i'm saving my money for! It's the 650 BMW-engined Loncin street bike which should be coming out next year. Oh boy oh boy, i really hope it's priced within my reach!
That teaser was good :clap:, but we want:
MORE! MORE! MORE!
Dont let us mortals without platinum miles cards wait so long...
show a bit of mercy, will you?
OK, since everyone already knows about it, here are the first pics from the show. Yes it's a Loncin, single cylinder, BWM based 650cc engine. The rest of the bike has other interesting little bits like Nissin front brakes and Buel rear brakes. I witnessed the bike running and it does appear it will be available sometime in 2011.

I'm sure this will be the China dream bike for some.
Stay tuned... more coming up.
Cheers!
ChinaV
Thanks for the pics!!! God i want one SO bad. I would sell my left nut for one but since i doubt there are many buyers for that, i will instead get my head down and start saving now. Hopefully by the time it comes out i will have enough money and be the first man to own one!
EDIT: there's a thread on moto8 about this bike. They're saying it will cost 48000 RMB. That's a lot of money, is it 18 grand better than a JH600? It's gonna require some thought.
Nice looking bike and thanks for the pictures V. Curious that it has Buell rear brakes. I wonder if it's because of the demise of Buell that there are tons of OEM parts available.
ChinaV, how long are you going to torment us with just a couple of photos per week?
Sorry Zorge, no torture intended, just got busy during the weekend and work is getting in the way today.Quote:

China South is a massive conglomerate with some of the biggest names in the Chinese motorcycle industry.

More coming tonight.

Thanks for easing the torment, if only slightly...
Pretty funny that the innocuous sounding "China South" retains its traditional military name in Chinese, 中国兵器装备集团，which translates as China Weapons Ordnance Group. I'd thought they'd dropped the military name and switched to 中国南方工业集团公司, which indeed is China South Industries Group Company.
I didn't realize that China South also owned Qingqi.
More!
cheers
On we go to QingQi which didn't really have much for new models.

The Harley Davidson booth was completely packed with people. You could barely get near any of the bikes. Eventually they had to rope the whole thing off as it was just total chaos letting people climb all over everything.
http://www.contactdi.com/Processed/CQ038.jpg
http://www.contactdi.com/Processed/CQ039.jpg
Kawasaki had a tiny booth where they were showing the Ninja 250, KLX250 and the 1400 Concours. I talked with the rep and he stated they were trying to get a feel for the China market. I think we may see a couple models showing up here in China by 2012.

Suzuki had several big bore models on the floor and I was again told they are still working on what models will be imported.
Maybe we will see one of these GW250's sometime.

The GN125, a timeless classic.

Great Pics China V! I can already fee I am going to pick up a new bike in the next few years. Any idea why Regal Raptor wasn't there? The press release said Lifan was going to be there (Isn't that their parent company?) Can't wait to see more!
-Wrangler
I'm not sure why Regal Raptor didn't show up :confused1:. They were there in 2009 and I thought they were getting pretty popular.Quote:

This is a 400cc twin the LF400 "OX"
http://www.contactdi.com/Processed/CQ047.jpg
http://www.contactdi.com/Processed/CQ048.jpg
I really liked the look of this 250cc twin. Reminds me of the old Suzuki Bandit.
http://www.contactdi.com/Processed/CQ049.jpg
The 250cc Cossack looks like a solid utility bike. Interesting choice of 19" front wheel with a 17" on the rear.
http://www.contactdi.com/Processed/CQ050.jpg
And last but not least, the X600. This bike screamed prototype and I doubt we're going to see it soon. There was no way to look inside all the plastic, but I'm fairly sure there's a 600cc inline four hiding in there :eekers:.

Are there any reliable information, what will be offered to the market for next season?
I am tired of beautiful prototypes, which can be seen only on the moto shows.
Does that stand for "Peasant" in French?:icon10:Quote:

I think that I would rather have a spin on filter located underneath or behind a cover to keep down the mess.
QianJiang (QJiang) is the company that purchased Benelli and it looks as if they gained a fair amount of technology from the Italian company.
