Hey everybody
It's late and I'm tired so I'm not going to begin a new thread about this just yet but I wish to inform everyone that I am now short of 23,600rmb and plus one up on a beautiful YBR 250 . I went to the shop today, paid the money by card (my boss got the money to me late but better than never) and they cracked open the box.

It took them about an hour to unbolt it from the box frame, charge the battery, fix on all the bits and pieces like the handlebars and front wheel and another hour and a half to fill out all the docs they need for my license plates which should be ready by Monday 11th.

I drove it from the dealership back to my friend's nearby workshop where it is now safely (I pray) sitting. I'll keep it there until Monday when it'll get plated up and ready to roll. During the very short ride of approximately half a kilometer I felt completely euphoric and terrified at the same time . It's such a comfortable bike and the engine sounds beautiful; much better than I expected a single to sound. I've never ridden anything bigger than my crappy JD150-15 and the YBR felt like a superbike to me. I didn't get it past second gear on the little ride. It has a lot of pickup! At one point, I was in 2nd and meant to put it up into third but, instead, slammed it back down into first by mistake; the rear wheel spun out to the right a little bit as the revs flew up and the tire regained traction... I loved every second of it.

Pictures to follow shortly. Look out for the little grinding spheres on the bottom of the pegs for when leaning at steep angles. The pegs are also spring loaded so that they can flex up in the event that you want to lean SUPER low.
