JH600 impression

[Franki]

Hey Frankie
I had my assistant talk with a couple of people at Jialing about the JH600. They seemed okay over the phone, the going price for one is rmb29800 which is the same price as someone on taobao is selling them - I think he might have someone he knows to source from at Jialing factory, as he's selling parts too. We made contact with the local traffic PSB about the license plate and as long as Jialing have the manufacturing quality certificate (or whatever it is) then it can get a plate here.

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 thinking about it, 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...

Pity about the HK bike show I would have been a starter for that, but had other things to do. Have ridden Ningbo-Shanghai return twice in the past month, but now the weather is shiet. So it's back to my car for the time being.

I've uploaded some photos to the beginning of my intro and also added a couple of dozen photos to the Galleries, more to come...

The price you were quoted is for 2008 Asia spec. model. There is a 2009/2010 model with some modifications which is a lot more expensive. It all depends on what you want.

Delivery lead time usually is about 30 days, so you can plan ahead when you want your bike.

Here is a couple of photos of me test riding the 2010 JH600P when I was in CQ pass summer.

Ride on,

Franki
