    Following Euphonius advice, and to keep me busy not to open new threads that already exist on this forum I will try to share with you some impressions of my Jialing JH-150GY-3.
    I'm sure fahni will join.
    I bought this bike at the dealer beijingriders.com . Price for a new bike is 7800 plus B plate registration and insurance 9400 in total. I'm not sure what is the factory price of this bike, I was so desperate to have something to ride that I just decided to buy it. Availible colours: blue, black and red.
    Here is the specification from the offcial web page:
    http://www.jialing.com.cn/newjl/cn_w...productid=1031

    Can't say much about it, except the fact you can ride it faster than they say. I did a bit over 100km/h on flat road.
    Before I bought it I was crazy about Long March that you cannot register in BJ at the moment. I was considering JH600 also, as I thought 150ccm will be too small for me (195cm hight) but as I asked one of my bike experienced friends what should I buy he suggested me scooter R9 for the beginning. That was a bit less than I expected, much less, so when I've found fahni's post about JH-150GY i decided to see it and try it. It felt good!

    I didn't ride since I did my motorcycle course a year ago and way home from the dealer was a nightmare but after the ride next day everything was fine.
    I'm glad I don't have a more powerfull thing for the beginning because I'm sure I would try soon what it can do. The 100km/h is a safe limit for me now. The bike is light, enough powerfull for one person mountain climbing. I can get everywhere I want, so I explore all the side roads, abandoned coal mine areas near G108, and I tried some deep mud last weekend but I'd like to have cubicle(?) tires for that. I like the brakes, still nothing to compare to, but I had a couple of situations now and I feel confident about them.
    About the tank, it takes about 2.75l/100km. I thought it should make about 300km but lat weekend I've ended up with an empty tank, on the road in mountains, in full sun, after 250km, but it included some offroad. There is that reserve in the tank but I think it was open (fahni, turen it back to the previous position)
    Even if I would buy JH600 next year I'd like to keep this bike because it's fun.
    The only thing I don't like is speed over 80km/h on a highway, it doesn't feel secure, but it wasn't made for this.
    I'd be happy to give it to someone experienced for a try. I think there is something wrong with it know, it makes some sound when I add just a little bit of speed, and it feels a bit less powerfull, but it might be my imagination, as I have know idea about bikes, or i just got used to it and it's not so scary anymore.
    I'm planning to do about 3000km during next October holidays and I belive it will show how trustable is this bike.

    Maybe fahni can copy his impressions here because I didn't want to write what he already wrote.
    cheers!
