    I'm interested in buying a motard, so I'm trying to find out how to say "motard/supermoto/supermotard" in Chinese so I can use the word when I talk to the dealers.

    Just to be clear, what I mean by "motard" is a bike that has 17 inch tires (both front and rear), and a seat that is lower than most dual-sport bikes. I'd like a lower seat because I'm short.

    Thanks!

    They're only a cross or enduro-type machine with, as you say, 17" wheels fitted with normal grippy road rubber. This gives you the low weight and agility of a cross machine with the handling and roadholding qualities of a normal bike.

    Probably something like: Gonglu shan di mo tuo che. Meaning road going mountain motorcycle, could be wrong though!

    I'll ask someone at the local mechanics, it could be as simple as 'mou te de'
    Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.
