+1 On that, which is why many of us have multiple bikes . I could have taken my V-Strom on my recent trip through Yunnan and Sichuan, but it would have beat the hell out of both me and the bike. The Galaxy made more sense for the conditions.

I think you may have missed the part where most of them say they would never own this bike if they lived outside China. Your Kinlon hits that sweet spot between performance, quality and value that the JH600 can't even hope to match. If the JH600 was available in Oz, you would be paying well over 7000 AUD. That my friend, would almost buy you a sweet DR650 that would spank the JH in every category.

Can't even imagine what Pfaelzer would do with a nice DR650 or XR600 as a starting point , but I know he's probably lusting after the BMW X-Challenge.
