    here is the competition
    World Enduro Championship

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Enduro_Championship

    They could enter that bike, but it would likely get its ass handed to it.

    Once again false pride?

    The shit is making me too questioning, China is creeping me out again.

    Called the seller advertising in taobao (link in Robeta's post above) and was informed that the price listed 元3000 is not the full price, which is expected to be around double that or thereabouts (vaeat here, as the seller wasn't sure what the price would be, it was his "guess") so don't read too much into the price, same with delivery date. Delivery date is expected to be around October 2012. So there you go, I wouldn't get excited since this bike been talked about for so long...

    Apparently I did something wrong during the conversion from one currency to another, that is, prices in euros seems too low.

    How much does cost H5 in euros or US dollars?

    Simply converting the currency while useful may not be worthwhile for overseas markets since there are many factors to be taken into consideration including the seller not knowing the real MSRP (it hasn't been set. Many vehicles being manufactured in China and sold though normal supply chains e.g. authorised agents cost far more than they do to buy at source (usually). anyway go to www.xe.com/ucc and convert 6000 Chinese Yuan into whatever currency you want. Even if the price was anywhere near CNY6000 I wouldn't be that enthusiastic in China you really do get what you pay for... (way more often than not).

    hard to imagine this bike will be 6000 rmb if the x2 is 17000?
    also if the RFVC is based on the old honda design meaning radial valves
    nothing but trouble ,even honda ditched this idea after a few years

    Of course that there are many additional costs, but 6000 yuan is 750 euros or so, is really too cheap for a decent 400 cc thumper with EFI, even if it is just the manufacturer's price. As my friend said: What's wrong with it when it is so cheap? I would rather believe that the right price is 26,000 yuan.

    Just catching up here, you mean to say a 400cc dual sport with all the gear , well nearly all is only 6000 RMB, too hard to believe, maybe its quoted in dollars or euros, even pounds ,lol if that cheap and certified i will open my own shop, i think someone has made a mistake.

    look on the web site i posted earlier and look at the stats, i know i says 3000, but i am sure they meant 30,000, however if they say 6000, thats too cheap a something must be not right, maybe the carb version and cant sell it
