    Hello,
    My name is Greg and I am currently living and working in Wuhan, China.
    I was born and raised in Los Angeles California, but moved here in 2011.
    No plans to return back to the states anytime soon, I just got married here last week.
    I had a KDX 400 in the states, but sold it when I moved here. I went shopping for a new bike yesterday.
    Looked at a nice YinGang 150GY for 6800RMB.
    Then found this site trying to find reviews about this model.
    Anyway glad to be here.

    Welcome to China Greg!!

    Don't know about the Yin Gang, but was eyeing a CFMoto 650TR and a Jialing JH600B-A myself. Good Luck - I'm sure somebody has one and can give feedback.

    Here is some visual reference of what Chinasam is drooling over....

    CF moto 650 TR

    the green one is a Jialing 600B (you want to order a JH600-A (without sidecar) or the sidecar model the JH600B-A)

    I love the TR, and tolerate the JH600B. Sometime I want to shoot the JH

    As for the 650TR, am still leaning more toward the new Honda NC700X as a throw-away type touring /fun bike .... just not sure when or if it will ever be available here. Maybe have to order one of these up for Thailand .....I think they used to call these bikes the "Honda Africa" a while back.

    Wow! Those are beautiful, Unfortunately, here in the city it's 250cc max.
    Here is the one I saw yesterday. I'm still going to shop around a bit.

    Those look like a pretty standard GY


    I enjoy the Yingang concept of the “Mountain King” but they seem to come off the assembly line cock eyed, makes me wonder if the little bugger runs doglegged down the road.

    This is a good example of the asymmetric assembly process utilized at YG.




    One cannot notice that the mountain king is crooked much like river

    Right....a club including that HangZhou farmer who likes to race his Orange Lambo convertible up and down Huai Hai Rd in 2nd gear????

    I meant that the Honda was a better option at 7K USD compared to the 650TR at 9K USD (list price here in China) - especially given all of the bugs and recalls the bike has had. a NON throw-away bike would be something like a BMW 1200GS or ANY Harley -- both of which will cost more than I am willing to spend.
