Hmmmm. My gut feeling is that there is more to the story about why Benelli did not honor the warranty.

Exact.
Check the Chinese motorbike websites, and you find videos all over of guys revving their bikes in neutral up till the rpm limiter.
Surely not what any engine is designed for.

I have much more confidence in the technical level of the Benelli then any other locally produced bike I have seen so far.

Hi Shanghaifingers,

Is this in Shanghai? I can't find it on the map. You have the Chinese address?

Thanks!

Wuzhong Lu, Qixin Lu. Just on the other side of the street from Dragon Riders. This is the address of the old place: 2779号 Wu Zhong Lu, but I think it's just up the street from there since he moved last year (Google maps does not update as much in China). Good luck. He priced one at 39000 plus 9000 for a plate for me just last month.

Jeff has not moved, but he did close his other shop on the corner of Wu Zhong lu and Qi Xing lu and consolidated to other newer shop half way down the block on wu zhong lu. He does not have any benelli 600bj's in stock, you can order one from him...

39000RMB for a BJ600? That's even cheaper than Taobao. And 9000RMB for a plate? I doubt it's a Hu A/B plate.

Just bought a Benelli from Pubei Road shop for 39800 and the Hu B plate cost me 85000. Quite ironic that the plate is more than double the price of the bike.

It was for a Hu C plate, and at the time we were thinking that was a little expensive. Where does a Hu B plate allow you to drive? Or is that just an alternative to A plates?

Enjoy the bike and hope to see your thoughts on it.

Shanghai "A" + "B" bike plates are equal. Was told the Shanghai "C" bike plates are around 15000RMB now?

*Cough*

Good for JackieYuen getting in on the slightly cheaper Hu B plate then, as I had been told they were up to 90.

Soon we're going to see the motorcycle taxi guys cashing in on their plates and retiring to Florida.
