Scott's new Shineray XY150GY-B

One of my coworkers here in China also decided to ride a Shineray during his time in China. His bike arrived from the factory in Chongqing today. This bike is called the Shineray XY150GY-B and is basically a clone of a 1982 Honda XL185, but with some added racks, a front disc brake and boxed steel swing arm. This bike was also fitted with the same 200cc engine as my GY-7.

The bike is much lighter than my XY200GY-7 and therefore is a lot quicker. It is also shorter and it seems much more nimble than the big GY-7. It seems like a great bike. I hope he enjoys it.

Hello all,

Yep, that's my bike. Rides well, and has a bit of a kick to her. I am still trying to work out her name, but it may come to me this weekend when I really open her up. I have been playing nice because this is my fist real bike and riding in china is dangerous enough without an inexperienced driver gunning it in the city streets.

To be honest, the bike feels tough and agile under me, but I had to get a couple of links added to the chain right out of the box. Thankfully I am china so that came to a total of, with parts and labor, to be around $1.50.

The differences between our bikes seem numerous, but small. My bike has a steering column lock, helmet lock, clip thing on the front rack to hold objects down, while it lacks the metal frame around the engine and huge gas tank. There may be a few more things, I will let you know as they come up.
