Hey all,

Looking to make a 17 day tour of rural china by motorbike early august and am looking for affordable (and as reliable as possible) transport for four riders. the idea is that we can share riding time with two sidecars, but I've read too many stories of Chang Jiang 750's that fell apart and died after just a few hours, and would like to find two bikes from a reputable and affordable supplier.

Can we buy a used bike and resell to owner as opposed to renting bikes? Or buy and then sell in a different city? Can any of you point me towards someone we can talk to? The plan is to enter via HK and get our licenses converted to mainland in Guangzhou.

Suggestions and ideas from all of you are welcome on how we can find bikes, please! I'll post a big trip report with pics of what we see and everyone we meet along the way! :)

How can the four of us get the most out of this great opportunity to explore China? *Note: we will be taking someone who speaks Mandarin chinese.*



Thanks,
David Koerner
