Jiashan Mega Moto Dealership
Was bored today, so decided to try to find the mega dealership I had been to in Jiashan, Zhejiang province, just outside of Shanghai.
Hopefully Nuhaus will chime in here as he took pictures and stuff.
The dealership is massive. Probably in the neighborhood of 5000 bikes for sale (wild ass guess). As well they sell cars and other mobile objects (3 wheelers, etc).
The front dealership has all of the exotic stuff. Pride of place went to a Yamaha V-Max 1200. Registerable in China (don't ask too many questions, I am sure and with 10,000 kms, they wanted 180,000 rmb. :lol8: It has suffered a lot from Chinese acid rain and the tires were shot. Would be fun to scare people on Chinese roads with it.
Other foreign exotica included a brand new Hyosung GT250N. This naked aircooled v twin 250 is a loose copy of a Honda VTR250 with some serious Suzuki SV650 DNA. They wanted 40,000 Rmb for it. :rolleyes1:
The one that had me drooling was a well used but functional Honda Bros 400

Single sided swingarm, light weight and Aluminium frame. Weak on power but good enough for Chinese roads.
24,000 Rmb.
They had many copies of a Honda 250 four cylinder naked bike that appeared to be oil cooled. These were going for 15,000 or so RMB, well used.
As well, they had a single Honda 250 v twin sports naked that was not a VTR 250.
They had several Honda Magna 250's, one rather hilariously marked as a Yamaha Magna.
Some sort of odd Yamaha Cruiser. Marked a 'Drag Star', it had a 250 V-twin with a shaft drive. They of course wanted a fortune for the well used example (20,000 rmb I think--may have been more).
In the back, they had many examples of every Chinese bike known to man. CBF150's were about the most exciting, although a copy of my old Suzuki QS150 (GZ150) made by some Chinese company could be had for 8,000 Rmb, including Harley style driving lights, panniers, bells, whistles and more chrome than you could shake a stick at.
One of the more interesting Chinese bikes there were Regal Raptor SPT 250's (actually 305 cc's). 16,500 RMB

These were massive, with water cooled engines and huge fuel tanks. One of the few Chinese bikes with a monoshock rear suspension. Riding position reminded me of my Vstrom 650, and the bike was almost that large. They also had the Regal Raptor DD series but on in 150 cc air cooled (i have seen the 250 for sale in Wujiang). 14,500 Rmb.
