    I bought a Suzuki EN-150 for my wife to commute daily. The bike is legally plated in Nanjing city (苏A).
    Technically speaking, Suzuki's Japanese, so, would anyone be interested in an overview here? Does that open count as a Chinabike? (assembled somewhere in China, actually)
    If yes, I could post a review with pics. If not - could as well delete the thread.
    Opinions, please.

    Hello Steve,

    I would like to know more about the 150.
    It seems that this might be the bike that all the police use here in Weifang.
    If it is, then it should be quite reliable.

    Hi Steve,

    I should have looked at "Images" first.
    The EN-150 is not what the police are using here in Weifang.
    They do though ride Suzuki 150cc "some things"
    They look good and low, and even my other half, would be able to put both feet down at a traffic light.

    Not sure about the EN-150, that looks a little higher than the police bikes.

    Gra.

    I think a review would definitely be welcome in this group. There are other excellent threads such the ones about the YBR 250 built by the Yamaha-Jianshe joint venture in Chongqing. Here's the link to Pete's and the one to Fred's. I think they qualify as "China Bikes"

    And the YBR 250 also comes in a police version here in Shanghai, although I have not yet seen one on the streets.

    Hi Steve

    I would definitely be interested.

    Is this the new fuel injected 150? I think it is called the "Lightning"? Could be wrong with that name.

    I saw a few Suzuki 150s at a dealer and they looked interesting. I'm kinda getting into these 125s to 250s. Perfect bikes for Chinese cities, and also capable on most roads outside the cities.

    Cheers

    That is the new fuel injected "Thunder".
    I'll get to it on Monday-Tuesday then.

    I think discussing any bike made in China is completely 100% on topic. It's cool to start with first impressions and keep posts going for a year or more. This is because with Chinese bikes quality or not seems to be the number one issue.
