Hey all,

Myself and a friend (American/Australian & Chinese) have been riding these past couple weeks from Shanghai, now in Kazakhstan.

We have had a blog going the past couple weeks at...

Awesome, thanks all. Internet has been spotty so the ride report will probably be after the ride, but we're in wuyishan now. came down through wuyuan and sanqing shan, which were awesome. the ride...

Hey all,

Looking to head into Fujian from Jiangxi this coming week for a 10 day-ish long ride, and was wondering if people had suggestions?
So far we're thinking of going to Wuyishan, Jianyao,...

saw that some people here weren't big fans of yamalube (why?) and was wondering what other, better, alternatives would be for oil?

After 2 days of a tour of the city and bordering counties' insurance offices, it seems none are willing to sell insurance to a foreigner or don't do motorcycle insurance --for whatever reason; all...

Thanks for this!

Thanks doc, this is really helpful. Realize it's not one size fits all, but it's nice to have an idea of the array of possibilities of things that have been done (and depending on circumstance, maybe...

Alright, thanks for the clarification, looks like it's still just another case by case thing. What just gets to me is not getting the same answer for different dealers/government organs etc. Been...

wanted to ask directly because I wasn't sure my question applied to the sticky on insurance.

perhaps this is a silly question, but is the insurance that comes with plate registration mandatory,...

t han k s for the advice all, just to be clear, I was still going to buy the bike from the same dealer doing the plating, he just had to order the model in from another shop (bc he didn't have it in...

Hey doc & prince,
Just had a question re plating, since you already generally went over it. I just ordered a bike yesterday to be shipped to the local dealer (ybr kg, after yalls suggestions). The...

awesome, thanks! I think i'm looking at getting the G now because I like how its just a bit bigger and has a kick start too, which is nice to have.
I made a chart is you/anyone is interested. ...

hey prince, thanks for the reply. I'll mostly be on alright (for china standard) roads, with a little off-roading (but i guess that could be avoided too). Looking also to go down to SE asia in the...

Does anyone have input on the difference between the different makes of YBRs?

I know G is for dual-sport, but what is K? Besides different brakes and being a bit bigger the KG also seems almost...

i'm not sure.. i thought so too but I was looking on taobao and there seems to be a couple listings in YBR 250s for around 12000, I thought there's no way (considering i've seen them otherwise for...

Maybe this is a pretty simple question but what are the pro's and cons of the fuel injected ( that's what 电喷 is, right?) YBR vs the original version? What i'm seeing now is almost a 10,000 RMB price...

i'm actually in Jiangxi (just changed that) so maybe there's a bit more leverage. I'm headed over to the Traffic Management Bureau today so maybe I can get some answers, but i'm also assuming there's...

Hey everyone, thanks for all the replies!
I just have a follow-up because I'm still not sure I've fully got the process. Mostly I'm wondering, at what point to you need to register a license. For...

awesome, thanks everyone for the replies. You mention Qili Motors and Dadihengtang, has anyone had experience with Beijing Riders? The name seems to come up on these forums a lot so I assume they'd...

Hey all,

Does anyone have experience with buying and then re-selling a bike with plates registered in someone elses name? I know a lot of people in Beijing have other people/shops register B's...

Thanks so much for the responses, sorry to be off the grid. Definitely still interested in the JH 150 GY 3, just haven't seen them around much so I didn't know if it was because theyre not great or...

hey juice, thanks for the reply. why haven't you ridden the bike that much? And I'm guessing by the way you said it your just hoping to upgrade to something bigger?

I'm looking to get a new bike when I move to Jiangxi after Chunjie and was hoping to get some input form you all.
i'll mostly be using the bike around the city, but because the city is pretty small...
