    I've ridden a BMW around RSA, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, and Namibia.

    I did not see many motorcycles at all, not to even mention Chinese motorcycles.

    I saw one in Zambia, it was a police bike and the cops complained that they can't get any parts for it... Have to wait months on end to get a chain... That was one of my only experiences with a Chinese moto in Africa.

    Since I had a bike sorted out on that trip, I did not look for Chinese motos in Africa but supposedly they are out there. I would like to ride more Africa and Chinese moto seems to be the most practical and most economical way to do it.

    But first I need to figure out where it is easy to get Chinese motos. What countries, cities, stores.

    Any leads for any countries would be greatly appreciated.

    Anyone?

    RSA - Motomia seems had good reputation

    Zimbabwe: http://translate.google.com/translat...72424433894%2F Motorbike are NOT as common as other african country because they can't afford it.
