    Hi all,
    I'll be moving to Guangzhou from Malaysia in the next few months and don't want to waste any time getting back in the dirt. So I have a couple of questions:
    1. Is it fairly easy to get hold of a decent enduro bike (200cc and above) in Guangdong area? What kind of dirt bikes are available? I understand the Japanese and European bikes may be a bit pricey but what sort of price are they, how available, and are there good Chinese alternatives? I don't want it to fall apart after a few months.
    2. What's the riding like in Guangdong? As I said, although I have a UK licence, I'll only be looking to do off road enduro riding. Does anyone know of any good trails and areas?

    Thanks for taking the time to read and let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks!

    Guangzhou is a great city you will love it.
    But Guangzhou don't love motoerbike.
    If you love if for a motoerbike then don't move to Guangzhou.

    Dirt riding you should be ok but not sure if localy it good for this type of riding but remember it's a big city and you will need to travel out a bit to find area suitable.
    Well good luck and enjoy China.

    Just order of Taobao but will you be abel to find a good Chinese Dirt bike.
    Well that depend on what you call good.

    Check on TaoBao for BSE TTR250S. I hear Chinese riders with good experiences and normal wallet condition ride them.
    Alternative is CRF250 .... Also in TaoBao

    There's a ton of great dirt biking all over Guangdong. The kind of bike depends on your budget. If you have money to burn, you can find any kind of bike you want. Look for the ride reports I posted a couple years back.

    Brilliant! Thanks for your responses. I do understand that bikes are banned in the urban areas but 'll be living on outskirts of Guangzhou and happy to travel a bit to get to the trails. Will have a look at the links you've all sent - appreciated!
