As I am back in Australia now for a couple of months it is interesting to notice the difference between the attitudes and bikes between countries.

On the whole motorcycles are used for transport and business 95% of the time in Xinjiang there are a few who use them for sport.

Most of the time most Chinese don't care what motorcycle they have so long as it does the job.

I notice car ownership in Chinese is total snobbery.Only a European car will do up in Xinjiang a Japanese car is a very distant second and as for Chinese car well.Don't even tell anyone if you own a QQ.

I remember riding the QingQi 200 the dealer was trying to sell me and he talked me into taking it for a test ride thinking that if I rode it I would be hooked.I rode it and man my mini bike from the 70's had more power.

I said no thanks.

I come back to Australia and my mate has bought a black naked hayabusa more upright riding position.200 HP.Beautiful looking bike.

I took it for a ride that thing scared the s*** out me and that was on the mild mapping.I think there would be very few riders who go anywhere near using that bike to anywhere near it's potential but yet the motorcycle manufactures continue to make more bikes with even more power.

For me it is a love of motorcycling and when I get a new bike I can sit and look at it for hours admiring it like a beautiful women.

Unfortunately up until lately all the Chinese motorcycles just don't do it for me so I guess I am a motorcycle snob.
