Btw Zhu since you're seeking spot-on English there, I'm going to be an a***hole and point out that 'grammer' is actually 'grammar'.. Besides that all reads very well:icon10:

Doc forgot to mention...

Hahaa gave me quite a chuckle there Zhu, yea you're right, she doesn't quite resemble your average beer-belly porting, fastfood-consuming tradie (don't get me wrong, I've done my fair share of work...

Is it really necessary to use a Vietnamese licence for motorbiking in Vietnam? I have been there 3 times and borrowed bikes each time, there has never been anything even slightly resembling an effort...

@njbrwn From what I've been able to figure the dealer's should certainly be able to register in your name. For convenience you might have to give them your Chinese name, which you can make up if you...

Good luck the both of ya's, keep us posted! :thumbsup:

Cheers doc, good to hear.. Prince when/if you read this how about putting down that latte for a moment and writing up a nice trip report for us bored folks back in the Medium Kingdom? :lol8:

I'm...

Gonna try and resurrect an old post here, any updates on GPS trackers in China? Is the one Serpentza has done a write up on still the way to go or is there a newer, shinier option on the market?

Ok Zhu, I'll go for maximum security. Yeah unfortunately I'm acquainted with the feeling, just after I moved to China I bought myself a big new e-bike, almost 5,000, it disappeared in less than a...

Right on the money there doc, fortunately I've hopefully only run into a small hiccup though and that happy ending is still on the way.

Mr Tuhao gave me a message today saying he was facing some...

How's it all going there Dave, still trucking on? Any nice stories to share? :popcorn: If you make it to Kunming I'll shout you guys a beer :icon10:

Hey Dave, welcome aboard!

Things are different in every city, but if you have a motorbike licence from back in the States it really shouldn't be too difficult at all to get a Chinese DL..

I...

LJH you must pay a fortune in garage space, did you colour code the bikes so they could match your shirt each day? :lol8: Seriously though, reading back through your reviews on both of the bikes...

Prince see the latest installment http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/showthread.php?6934-Urgent-Help-Needed-YBR125K-or-YBR250/page5:thumbsup:

So had an interesting day yesterday.. After reaching Yuxi we went to the Yamaha dealer, where there was a YBR250 waiting out the front for us. It belonged to a customer who had recently bought it...

I was looking at getting the KG very recently, in the end decided to go for the YBR250 instead since am planning a long trip 2-up and need the extra power. I went down to the Yamaha store in Kunming,...

This info is all great, cheers.

I'm on the train down to Yuxi now to check out the bike and most likely order one of my own. Does any one know what the deal is with registering a bike in a...

Second all that, keen to read about how it goes. Btw how are you coping with the language barrier? You mentioned a bit earlier on that it was surprising how few people speak English, my experience...

After speaking to the shop again it seems like they won't be going below the 23,800, as ZMC suggested might be the case, we'll see on the weekend. Whatever colour they have, I'll be complaining that...

Prince those pictures look just how I remember it, paradise. I went down last year for the National Day holiday in October to avoid the droves of domestic tourists that swarm everywhere when given...

I took this advice onboard, I called the 2nd tier city, no go, so got onto the 3rd largest city in Yunnan, very helpful lady tells me that they have one, as well as the Suzuki GW250, I believe. Any...

Mr Prince, I would dearly like Mrs Foxy to see the sunrise the next day and every day after that, so it looks like I'll have to be at the wheel. Damn:riding:

Hey fellas,

Can't thank you guys enough for all this info, this is gold.

First, to clarify, the 125 I'm considering is the latest, dual-sport model, the YBR125KG, the same as prince's bike. As...

After getting my licence a week ago I'm craving a chance to get off my electric scooter and onto something real. Not only that, but am planning on several months on the road come July, and want to...

Good luck with that, what day's your test?!

It's a shame they made you wait 5 months, from what I could figure you should be able to rock up and (at least) sign up for the full motorcycle test at...
