Hey all,

i'm Ekki, been in China for over 5 years, now living in Beijing..
Spent a year and a half in Lanzhou, where i spent quite a bit of time riding on the back of my friends dual-sport bike out into the mountains and different parts of the Yellow River..
obviously, i fell in love.
now that I'm back in Beijing, i'm looking to learn how to ride myself, and get a bike of my own.
Will probably stick to a dual-sports / supermotard as i like the look, lightness and flexibilty of them. i reckon if i dropped a sports bike, there'd be no chance on earth that i'd be able to lift the thing back up!
anyway, bikes that i've been looking at are the Yamaha WR250X (but i've been told that the seat might be a bit too high for me), and the Yamaha XT250X..
dunno if i should consider Chinese made bikes, as i've been told that they are often of poor build quality, but the cheaper prices are definitely quite attractive!

anyhow, that's all from me i guess. happy to be here, nice to meet you all! :)
