  1. Re: beijing foreigner rider hit a pedestrian - got DEPORTED due to illegal employment

    It was interesting and disappointing to hear about the amount of hate the woman received from Chinese netizens after that initial article accusing her of extortion came out. Even her relatives back...
  2. Re: New rumor about Beijing motorbike ban inside 6th ring

    Thanks for the reply. Just to add to the rumour mill, someone has posted something about Jing B plates running out to be replaced by Jing C plates which would perhaps be limited to outside the 5th...
  3. Re: New rumor about Beijing motorbike ban inside 6th ring

    What rumours have you heard?
  4. Re: New rumor about Beijing motorbike ban inside 6th ring

    Correction to my previous post: non-Beijing bikes used to be allowed outside the 4th Ring which gave them the same status as Jing B plated bikes. So quite a big blow for motorcyclists from outside of...
  5. Re: New rumor about Beijing motorbike ban inside 6th ring

    On a brighter note it seems that the rumoured Jing B Gong Hu (company registration) ban has not been implemented (yes, that passes as a brighter note for motorcycling in China).
  6. Re: New rumor about Beijing motorbike ban inside 6th ring

    Not rumour actually but as it turns out it only affects non Jing-plated bikes. Starting from April 11th all non Jing-plated motorcycles will not be allowed within Beijing's 6th ring (used to be 5th...

    Re: You truly can build Ducati from CFMoto 650

    I like it. That 648R sticker is tongue-in-cheek humour to me - a bit of an inside joke for those that know enough about bikes. I don't know how much Ducati 848s go for in Vietnam go for but I bet...
  8. Re: Campaign, crackdown, updates on traffic enforcement (scooters)

    That reminds me of another question that I've always wanted to ask you - how are you registering all of your bikes in BJ? Are they all Jing Bs registered under your name? I had to register mine under...
  9. Re: Campaign, crackdown, updates on traffic enforcement (scooters)

    Thanks for the info LJH and it sucks that you're thinking of leaving. China will have one less ambassador for law-abiding, recreational motorcycling.
  10. Re: Campaign, crackdown, updates on traffic enforcement (scooters)

    Recent information on motorfans strongly suggests that 公户(registered to companies and not individuals) Jing B plates will no longer be issued starting from 2014 and that Jing A plates may become...

    Re: More crackdown news for Beijing riders

    People really need to catch up with the times - 2500 RMB no-make, unplateable scooters should most definitely not be purchased or ridden anywhere inside Beijing's 5th Ring these days. Back in 2010 I...

    Re: Why so few high-capacity Chinese bikes available?

    I remember an article on Visordown I think saying how everyone would be riding about on Chinese superbikes in a decade's time. What a load of bull. How can you build a superbike without any racing...

    Re: Why so few high-capacity Chinese bikes available?

    Another thing is that a huge number of first-, second-, and third-tier cities in China have motorcycle restrictions or outright bans. As the overwhelming majority of China's wealthy citizens live in...

    Re: Loncin 重庆隆鑫机车有限公司 LX650 ???

    From what I've read about the LX650 on Chinese forums, it's a complete lemon with numerous engine and electrical problems and I have a sneaking suspicion that part of the reason for that is because...

    Yet Qianjiang has yet to release any official information about either of the two bikes in Chinese. Some Chinese bikers have caught on to this and there has been a bit of a backlash on motorfans with...

    Sticky: Re: Riding Safe in China - New Rider Guide

    Grabbing someone by the neck and "abusing the crap out of them" is still tantamount to assault. But hey it's China, laws are rarely enforced here so I guess it's ok.

    Btw it was an Asian American family before anyone here starts making any sarky comments connecting this event to Mainland Chinese driving habits.

    Re: Shineray 重庆鑫源摩托车股份有限公司

    That GP250 seems to be basically a faired version of the old carbed Yingang yg250nf with the same engine,frame and forks.

    The 300 twin is currently on display at the Jiangmen motorcycle expo. Motofans claims it will be available to the domestic market some time next year.
