Not sure what this guy is thinking, but he sure looks excited!

Sorry, I don't have any better picture of the engine. But I thought some might be interested.

I thought this Lifan LF250-19 looks interesting.

Will add some more photos/females later!

Thanks for the report!

This is just advertising for some chrome polishing products right? Those cans at the bottom?

Seems no motorcycles this year, maybe when I'm back next year things will be sorted out. I'll hold onto my steed in the meantime, or keep it as a learning project.

Yup, something like that indeed!

yes...thanks

this one is interesting...but the proportions of the tank to seat are off.

This ones frame has great potential, the bike needs the bigger CG engine, shorter tank and larger seat.

The Hanway has a GS200 engine...
http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...r/DSC_0009.jpg

Hanway also shares the same business address as Daifer
So both are Qingqi partners/affiliates/subsidiaries?

Hanway is offering several Enduros, one is a oil cooled 250 rated at 25hp. The other an air cooled 233cc along with the GS200 model.

They look decent

http://www.hanwaymotor.com/product-menu-enduro.htm


Actually I think the engine is water cooled? The website has a conflict the image and the text on it says water cooled, but the specs below it say oil cooled?

Hanway/Daifer are not very successful branding exercises...

This bike is ridden around Beijing. I've seen it around town from time to time. And pics do not do justice to the extreme bling on this thing ... but it is all plastic.

Thanks for starting this Barry … and for all of our fellow JH600 riders …

First, the well-known and loved JH600 two-wheeled version, attending the EICMA show on a very hot & humid, but overcast, day (male model = Barry) …

http://i56.tinypic.com/34ilt2u.jpg

http://i56.tinypic.com/eiv11c.jpg

Second, the less-well-known (but also loved), JH600B three-wheeled version (with two of my research assistants acting as models), also attending the show (male model = Robert Redford) …

http://i55.tinypic.com/2hoz5u8.jpg

http://i51.tinypic.com/293f6me.jpg

Third, the all-new JH600 XQ ¨four-wheeled version¨ (plus track and runners!) at the show. Judging from the emblem on the front cowl, it will probably be nick-named ¨The Wolf`¨

http://i55.tinypic.com/289ar10.jpg

http://i51.tinypic.com/2w4grvq.jpg

See that cool guy in the background? Well, one of my RAs had to get in the picture …

http://i56.tinypic.com/zj6idl.jpg

There was a police version of the JH600B at the show, but that rear end looks different from mine.

http://i54.tinypic.com/ws1mib.jpg

The ATVs seem to be becoming more popular. And this liitle guy was there. Interesting, but if anyone remembers the Suzuki Samarai tip-over factor, this one looks like it would be worse! Don`t take any corners at more than 2 kmh.

http://i53.tinypic.com/2mq57kg.jpg

There seems to be a lot of effort in replicating the bobber and cruiser style. This Assembly bike was odd.

Look at the seat cover in shiny & very slippery red vinyl. I tried sitting on this bike and I almost slid off the seat … all form, no function.

http://i54.tinypic.com/21bq43t.jpg

Now look at its rear shocks. Somehow, the geometry of the loading and swing looks seriously wrong.

http://i51.tinypic.com/29l1w8g.jpg

But, the manufacturer does nice paint.

http://i56.tinypic.com/2eq9krr.jpg

Here is the same manufacturer’s cruiser-style (note that both the bobber and cruiser have a drum rear brake) ...

http://i52.tinypic.com/6iwmts.jpg

Some sport bikes were also in attendance.

http://i52.tinypic.com/347cp00.jpg

http://i51.tinypic.com/2e0o7xy.jpg

My personal vote or the ugliest bike at the show … (I couldn’t get the model to move – she was probably told the bike was so ugly that she had to always stay beside it to make it look at least a little good). It seems like a bastardized version of a Victory Hammer (a very nice bike), with some weird tank/cowl.

So what do you think about this Hanway bikes. Compared to Qingqi? Any news about C3?

Thanks a lot for the reports guys, some interesting stuff in there even in this bleak period of C3 rules.

I'd love to see more pictures of this thing if anyone has some, or even hear some more details about it. Good to see some wild concepts coming from a chinese manufacturer, it shows forward thinking and also that they might be starting to move away from the 'parts-bin bike' attitude.

https://blu1.storage.live.com/items/...=1&ck=0&ex=720

I thought it was an ebike concept, but then what's that exhaust for at the bottom?

Dear Barry and LJH,

Many thanks for your posts! Nice to see what I missed, and to realize it wasn't much.

LJH, what is this Tinypic where you are hosting your pix? I had to fire up the grannybuster to see them, and even then not all came through. But then again, I'm in rural Shandong linking via Unicom 3G and personal hotspot, so there could be gremlins....

cheers!

It says "125" on the back, though that's hard to read from the picture!

Wow Barry! I thought we went together! How'd you find all those pretty girls? It must have been when Fahni & I were having lunch??? Great pics! I see you are fond of the "Suzuki" :naughty:

Euphonius - sorry about Tinypic (free, free, free for cheap, cheap, cheap me) - but I can view them without my anti-granny on in Beijing. Is anyone else having difficulty? If so, I guess I will have to become a paying member of society ... sorry about that!

Felix - that concept vehicle was supposed to be a hybrid gas/electric - it was interesting, but they didn't have much info on it, sorry.

I thought let's make a few extra pics for Jape, but no sign of him today!

No problems here, and by the way .. my granny buster has been out of commission for some time now :( using paid vpn service >> 12vpn !

(granny busting is a moving target. the May 35 and June 31 anniversaries caused grandma to be extra vigilant in trying to keep her grandkids ignorant, and mine went through some major changes. but it's generally working now.)

now back to bikes and girls...

Is that Zelig lurking behind this fine specimen? And what's he looking at? And if he's looking at what I think he's looking at, why's he scowling???

MV Agusta comes to China article in Ultimate Motorcycling.

Never hurts to have new entrants to the China market, even if they are as singularly inappropriate to local conditions as the F4 and Brutale sport bikes. But I couldn't restrain a belly laugh at the naivete and inadvertent humor in this quote:

Quote:

---

Umberto Uccelli (Commerical Director of MV Agusta) says: "Distributing the MV models through a prestigious society like Lifan ensures that we will enter into this very important market with a very strong commercial partner at our side, respecting the Chinese culture, mentality and laws" stated Umberto Uccelli, the Commercial Director of MV Agusta.

(They could use an editor use an editor too.)

cheers!

When you post an image of a product you can link it to the manufactures websites, then it has a physical connection that they can see. The traffic from the link will show up on the server they reside on. They then and often do check those and then link back. If you have comments or criticisms they may get read and maybe even considered. It is traffic and it is used as determinant of the monetary value of this site.

I enjoy the look of the Skyteam 125
http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...m/DSC_0002.jpg

It is not that you cannot market and sell add links off this site, its just that it requires high traffic. But the concept of manufacturer>distributor>retailer is a string that can be built and those strings are often created on this site. If a distributor is interested in carrying some Skyteam models in the USA they can contact them through their website or through their Alibaba listing

I think the bike has a cool look to it, but like I said the tank is too long and the seat too short. I would like to see it with a larger engine it has a nice retro look. My only concern would be that they made it too small, seems many of the bikes are tiny or puny and that eliminates a lot of men from being interested in them.
