Where to buy bikes in China?
Hi all,
not really sure which part of the forum to post this in so here goes.
A couple friends and I have been trying to find 250CC dual sport bikes here in China for the last 6 weeks without any success. We live and work (full residence permits) in Jiangsu province close to the Shanghai border (about an hour away from the Shanghai zoo by scooter). We've been to a few shops in Shanghai but the bikes were about a year old and at least 3,000 RMB more expensive than what we were expecting. All the shops we've seen in Jiangsu province are only selling 125CC street bikes (Yamaha, Honda, a few Quinqi and one 250 CC cruiser style). Where can we go that's not too far away to pick up a couple dual sport 250's? We'll also need plates as we live here in Jiangsu and plan to do some touring over the spring and summer. Can anyone help us out?
Here's what we're specifically looking for:
Quinqi 200GY, or
Lifan LF250GY-7, or
Shineray X200GY (series)
Any help much appreciated, just hoping we don't end up on Yamaha YBR125's but we're getting a little desperate.
