Now what?

[ChinaV]

So these fellows stopped by and relieved me of my china motos... they even promised to write some ride reports



Now I'm left with the BMW F650 (still for sale) and V-Strom (probably never sell). Yes, I know you're all poking fun of me for being such a cry baby, but I really need to keep the garage full, lest I get bored. So I'm thinking of maybe getting a Galaxy TGR for dirt abuse, because it's easy to steal parts from my neighbor, and something else for China touring.

Here are my guidelines:

#1 Must be Made In China.
#2 Budget is no concern, 10-50K RMB.
#3 Must be Adventure/DualSport oriented.
#4 Must be available before Dec 31, 2010. I'm afraid there will only be a handful of CCC bikes that can be registered after Jan 1, 2011, as most models are not CCC and the ones that are rely on "less than reliable" fuel injection.
#5 Not interested in the JH600, unless it's Pfaelzer's

What's the word on that turd Xingyue 400? Looks like Pitster Pro is giving them away for $1999, not such a good sign. The LD450 also sounds interesting, but it appears that they might not be available before the cutoff date of Dec 31.

Help me...please. I promise to write about it, maybe even crash it a few times for your enjoyment.

Cheers!
ChinaV

Hi ChinaV,

is this story really serious with the cut-off date and no more bikes can be registered all over China without CCC compliance? Is this confirmed?

I'm surely not selling my JH600 Just got a new gadget on it...

Hope to see you in Hong Kong tomorrow.

Cheers,
AW.

nooo! i hate him.

I dunno, he sounds like a rather intelligent, insightful, and yet sensitive guy to me...

But he does look REALLY schmoozy and funky in the picture. I'm sure ChinaV could have found a pictrure slightly more flattering...

[Ekkicore]

it's you, isn't it? you stole my love away from me!! my SQUEAZEL?! i'm soulless and incomplete now.

i blame you!

[Mfpthebronze]

It wasn't you, it was the QingQi. It thought you were out of it's league, so it settled for me.

I promise not to abuse it... too much
