Two-tier foreign riders in China.

...when I get a new bike I can sit and look at it for hours admiring it like a beautiful women.

Ditto.

Mind you, some guys can go a tad too far...

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

If a bike (or a woman) fails to give you the 'hots', that certainly does not make you a snob.

Racer style bikes, whoever makes them, just don't do it for me. Nor Japanese cars for that matter. I admire the engineering in both and I certainly don't look down on those folk that have them. It's just that they fail to stir what need to be stirred! Can't help that, right.


Interesting you post that EU cars are the 'cool' in Chinaland. Chinese bikes are becoming the new 'cool' in GB. I'm told the 'cult' is also growing in mainland Europe. European Union = Soviet Union Mk2 (I kid you not) and China is red, so it's commie bikes for commie countries. Natch.
