Hi, I'm looking into buying a bike in Shanghai, can anyone reccommend me some bikes that are available here, either Chinese made or register-able imports?
Ideally I want something bigger and with a bit of power after having ridden sports bikes at home, but I recognise that you can't ride fast on Chinese roads. Main purpose of the bike is to get out of the city and explore the countryside. I was thinking about a bigger-engine enduro bike maybe? Or something like a CB400 would be kind of cool for around town and comfy enough for touring.
I'm a bit wary of buying some cheap Chinese-made brand as I don't want the brake cable snapping on me as I'm going into a turn.
Also, how is the riding around Shanghai? Is it possible to get to some nice roads and back in a weekend?
I don't read Chinese and my speaking/reading level is vastly improved but still basically rubbish, so it's really hard to get information here...
Thanks for any pointers
