    Adding ABS to a 2014 650NK

    I've been driving a 2014 CFmoto 650nk for about a year now. Have been driving almost everyday and although I'd had no accidents, braking can really be a bit rough in winter.

    Found a "plated" bike. . .

    So I was driving to work several days ago and saw an 京A plated, wrecked scooter in the median between two roads. After two days it was still there so I decided to push it home.

    I'm assuming the...

    Re: Qili motors address

    So I figured out it's in Daxing district (大兴区)and on what I found in another thread it's at the intersection of 旧宫东路 and 小红门路。

    Been searching on baidu, but still nothing.

    Qili motors address

    Plan on picking up a bike soon. Have a few that I want to try out before I decide.

    How much time for the Beijing license?

    I have a week off in August. Will that be enough time to complete the driving test in Beijing? I heard you had to go there several times to take different tests.

    Re: Scooting in Beijing on B plates

    The fines don't seem to bad. But then again, I'm not the luckiest of fellows. I always get away ok in the end, but given my luck, I'd can't say my bank account won't share the same fate.
