Zibo Motorcyle Club

Hi, if you use facebook, search for us under groups. We think of ourselves as people who ride in China, not really as riders of Chinese bikes. All are welcome, please leave any links or threads we might find interesting on our 'wall'.:scooter:

We ride road bikes between 125 and 250cc and have 25 members, not all of us ride, some just pillion, and go for a ride in the country.

That could be something worth working out! Maybe see what the guys in your club think?

Many of the other members like to ride 250 cruisers, don't ask me why! To heavy IMO :confused1:

I'll try to convince them, that with the power to weight on a motard/or dirt bike they'll accelerate heaps quicker, and have more fun too! :lol8:

I have never understood the interest in cruisers either, so slow and heavy... I prefer the agility with a lighter dual purpse or motard...

and as for style, only other cruiser-clowns like the look, and they certainly don't look that good in my rear view mirror.

Just seems people have an obsession with the cruiser style, from watching too many movies set in Arizona and California. If I was a bad boy retro, I'd have a Norton or Triumph, or try to buy something in that style.

The materials that are used to make modern sport/motard/dirt bikes, the rake they have, the wheel size, wheelbase, etc aren't dumb luck, they having been evolving for years.

Cruisers are great if the roads are good. Comfortable riding position, nice wide saddle and low center of gravity. Not a whole lot of real performance riding but just nice clean, relaxing fun. I guess it's all about choices! :icon10:

Cruisers

Well, if one day my garage is properly filled with the 5 bikes I want to own, I have to admit one of them would be a Harley. The others (not necessarily in order) would be a Ducati 1098, Triumph Bonneville, 1969 BMW R69S (already have that one) Suzuki 400 DRM, and a big fat Road King.
Regds,
Jim

I agree somewhat, especially living here in Arizona! But there are quite a few enduros/dirt bikes naturally, from all the sand, of course!

If I was going from Tuscon to Las Vegas with a group of buddies, a cruiser style bike would be a perfect bike for this kinda of trip. Outside of this exact context a cruiser style bike is in my view a compromise especially on wind blast and handling.

I agree with all those choices, but I'd be happy with a Honda 599 as my regular transport, or a modern Triumph (as I'm English). Maybe a V-rod instead of a fat boy.
