I have a few bikes and find the V-Strom 650 to be the perfect balance of suspension and power for China. Also ride an older BWM F650 to work every day and that's a good choice for the roads here as well.

I have come so close to purchasing the JH600, but it just doesn't impress me. It's heavier than the V-strom and F650 with half the power. I would rather continue farting around with the lightweight 250's as they seem to have a much better power to weight ratio. Given the number of kilometers you do, I don't think the JH600 is going to last that long.

Hope you can post some ride reports of your favorite roads sometime .

Cheers!

Hey all
Have uploaded some photos to the beginning of my intro and also added a couple of dozen photos to the Galleries, more to come. Have talked with Jialing about the JH600, and one of the guys in the group I ride with from time to time has one, he has had to replace the front forks (not sure the reason why) which was done under warranty. Am still giving it consideration, mainly as all the BMW F650/800gs or R1100/1200gs that I find are illegal imports that either don't come with any plate or a questionable plate... still searching though. Since it's winter time (cold spell came on pretty rapidly and its been raining almost non-stop for two weeks), no rush I guess...
