Ok, so new to the forums here and have done some reading, but as usual China is a confusing place despite 2.5 years of living here. I am in the process of obtaining my drivers license for BOTH a car & bike...bike first as it will be a year or two before I buy a car. For the past few weeks I have been looking over the local bike shops in my small town (Xiaolan) and what my friends have told me, and what I see conflict (no big surprises)

My problem (ego related) is that I desire a real sport bike like a Yamaha YZF or similar ride with at least a 600cc. EVERYONE tells me, NO you cannot have anything more than a 250 and even then its difficult to get a license for it because of cc restrictions of 150cc for most bikes. However a few shops here have models with 250cc (Honda - Yamaha) and they are ok if that is all I can get. However last night as I was cruising around on my demasculating little scooter I saw a show that sells Benelli Sports bikes and MUCH to surprise was not one, but 3 of them with 2 having around 899cc and one behemoth with 1130cc...the laoban (boss man) tells me they are fully licensed for use in China and even has a payment program...not that I desire a 62,000 rmb bike...ok, so that was a lie I do want it, just cant afford it.

So, whats the deal...are there Yamaha dealers that can get me (or have) a 600cc ride like what I would expect in the US? Or am I stuck with a 250cc Chinese ride with at best a Lifan (Honda) motor?
