    Big Chinese Cabbage is the nick name given to 150cc Jailing dirtbikes because when sold for domestic use.... why, I am still trying to figure it out.... But it could be because the base color is white and they are plain and ordinary like the cabbage.... One friend asked if it was because locals used them to haul vegs to the market...hahaha

    I don't think Yamaha make a YZF 125 I thought they only made YZ250F and WR250F?

    Why buying that bike? Isn't that fast & dodn't had nationwide delear support - Bike only @ At least 30k RMB - To obtain the # plate : the "backoor" game isn't that fun

    Sundiro Honda CBF150 is better choice. If don't care the expirated plate issue, the old girl (made in the 90's) : Wuyang Honda 125A (GL125) archive similar top speed as the YZF-R125

    Apologies in advance... I feel this is within the subject of the original question.
    I am Australian, newly emigrated to Yangzhou, Jiangsu province.
    Last January I personally saw some Yamaha 250cc bikes in the local shops, this morning meiyo apparently.
    Last January I had been told I could only get up to a 250cc in this city, and only if living in western district.
    An earlier post mentioned a Galaxy dealer in YiZheng city just west of Nanjing, my wife tells me its very close to me, and Suzhou.
    Xiao Fei, the lowai from Suzhou posted in 2009; are you still living in Suzhou?
    So far the Yizheng Galaxy dealership sounds like my best bet.
    BTW, I was motorbike licensed in NSW Australia, and have managed to get that transferred into my new Chinese driving license.

    http://www.guorui888.com/
    I also found this website, which falls under the 'If its too good to be true, its probably a scam!' category.
    My wife rang them and spoke briefly to a 'Salesperson'. Asking the obvious question of why are the bikes so CHEAP!?
    ( A 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1 is listed for 2500yuan!! less than my mother in laws 125cc scooter!)
    They answered something about they they are smuggled bikes, and they sell them on behalf of customs?
    I expected to find some feedback on the internet indicating they are scammers, and victims of assumed scam would have posted some warning somewhere.
    If you have time please take a look at the website, there are some nice pictures at least ;)
    Has anyone heard anything about this site? or similiar sites as to whether my application of Okhams Razor is appropriate?
    I.E. The most obvious answer is usually the correct one.

    Cheers and beers! Murrance.

    G'day Felix, or Xiao Fei ;)
    Nice picture firstly, really missing my Honda XR400 now!!
    I am in Yangzhou, very close to Suzhou, Jiangsu province. You said Yi Zheng is just east of Nanjing?
    My wife guesses a lot of the time, but she is a Yangzhou local girl who assures me Yi Zheng is rather close to me.
    Well much closer than Shanghai, even Nanjing, its all relative I guess ;)
    Are you still around? Could you provide an address for the Galaxy dealer, I am very very curious/interested and would like to drive myself there for a look see.
    (Our car has a half decent GPS that only jerks me around about once a week! Directing me down roads that do not exist, or have been torn up!)
    No worries if your unable, I will get wifey to ring Yang min min tonight for me.
