really?????
Those Costa Coffee choppers look like there would be plenty of problems riding them on Chinese roads, especially on wet days with no rear fender! Or any roads with bumps greater than a few cms. Or any roads with corners.
Re illegal bikes - same as anywhere, when you sell an illegal bike, be honest about it. Actually, same principle applies with legal bikes. This REALLY rings true with expats, and especially FOB expats. We should be helping each other out, especially China newbies, not ripping them off because TIC!
If a person wants to partake in illegal bikes, go for it ... just don't start crying when the shit hits the fan. If a person rides further than Costa Coffee, and often enough, their number will come up one day.

The reason it's fine for these guys to ride these bike is because they are loaded. If something happens or they get unwanted police attention they have deep pockets to pay out and high connection 'guanxi'. Plus this is their likely only ride outside the city this year and it's probably more like a photo-shoot than a ride. They don't really know how to ride. You can see that but the fact that one of them is happy to fit 'ultra-cool' car tires to their ride and another guy appears to be using half a leather satchel for a seat. They probably have BMW 7 series, Lamborginis and Ducatis at home anyhow.

#36 Re: custom motorcycle for sale12-04-2013, 03:02 PMbtw: those tyres are shinko classic motorbike rubbers and i had 'em on 2 of my rigs also - and yes they handle pretty good
These square tires handle pretty good? On a three wheeler, yes maybe. On a two wheeler? I'll stick to Michelin, Continental, Pirelli thanks.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not attacking you personally I feel the same way about any bike. I want the best functioning part I can have. I would never sacrifice function to have a bike that looks a certain way. But then I ride purely for the ride, exactly the same as when I ride mountain bikes I want the best tires. I'd never put an inferior set of tires on it for some appearance sake, to me the beauty is in the functionality.

As the CJ has a live rear axle any discussion about tyres is probably moot
