Dual Sporting around Beijing?

**ChinaV** · 08-26-2012, 11:07 PM

buayangvehicle.com does not work, and those bikes can't be registered in China.

Cheers!

Why is registering a problem? They look good

Probably over a hundred motorcycles produced in China that are not available here, they are export only.

The rumours I heard about the Puzey is that Mr. Puzey got a little pissed off doing all the R&D and then having his suppliers rip off his ideas and sell them. The XTR300 has several "key components" that were not/are not made in China. Eventually the Chinese figured out how to reproduce those components, thus you can find some of these bikes on Taobao / Alibaba etc.

Because this is China and they don't give a $%&^## about adventure motorcycling or making it reasonable for people to partake in the sport of motorcycling. Motorcycles are for stupid peasants and trouble-making foreigners.

You still haven't stated your budget, which would make helping you a lot easier.

Ok, understand. The good stuff goes into export?
Budget: 3-5000 dollars for a decent dual sporter.

Damn, I'm guilty on both counts - a foot in each camp!

Alex:

Once you get to Beijing, you'll find some fantastic riding in the area. And, as ChinaV properly notes, riding a China-bike is part of the "full-meal-deal" experience. Trust us, what you ride will be of little concern when compared to what you are confronted with re: traffic, drivers, food, language, lodging, toilets, and a million other things.

AKA "Crack-China", we all know it is very bad for us, but we just can't give it up.

For 3-5K, lots of legal options. But you really need to be here to see for yourself.

You see Alexian thats was i said they i hoppe the guys in China could helpwith thisone! I heard before about the top models doesnt sell in China.This doesnt make sense because the expansion market is there.Regardin about Puzey China V is rigth i talk fewtimes with Mike Puzey(email) and he was mad with the manufactures.He still sell the xtr4 300cc and a 500cc model.Plus is coming with bomb (literaly) in the frame of the bike.Now he sell a 300cc 2 stroke racing dirtbike (like the europeans) using a TM motor.There is video in you tube of the prototype.I think the only alternative is the Galaxy(which is a good one).GZ_84_496.jpg

All very valuable info!! Thanks a lot.

Hi guys another question: has anybody ever tried to import a bike on pieces?
Was just thinking if I disassemble the bike (wheels, handlebars, etc.) would I be able to take it with me?
Just an idea maybe stupid. Thanks for the input. Alex

Alex,,,,,,,,

Your not listening,,,,,,,,

It's not just about getting the bike into China, be it in one piece or 1000 pieces.
What are you going to do with it when you have put your 1000 pieces together?

Your still no better off, as you won't get registration or licence plates for it.

So whats the point?

Go back to square one.
Mothball the bikes in USA, or sell them.
Get your ass over to China, then hook up in Biejing with some members.
You will be surprised just how much fun you can have on a Chinese bike.
Believe be, when they say "The type of bike you ride will be the least of your problems"
They are 10000% right,

Oh, and don't forget you will need to do your Chinese driving/riding licence.

Gra.
