Lao Jia Hou: Love the picture!
Anyway, those really seemed to echo my thoughts. I actually owned a YBR 125 for nearly a year 30,000 km with no problems... loved it! Until some asshole hit me here in BJ, the cops came, found out I didn't have a license, and well, I was lucky to not go to jail... especially considering how all those things I thought I was getting away with here (running reds, riding in emergency lanes, going the wrong way, etc.) I wasn't actually and it was then I discovered I had nearly 5,000 RMB of fines built up as well...
Actually, I was looking to join some of the Tibetan tour groups that they have... and because of the altitude, YBR 250s are essencial because of the fuel injection. Also, there are other very cool features that come with it, especially the uni-lever shock which is quite comfortable I hear!
The only thing that I am concerned about is the title... from what I heard, you are not legally allowed to own a moto in Beijing (this is from the cops during the above incident mind you). The result is that I have to purchase it with some other guys name on the title which means it is already like 2nd hand... though I do get the receipts to show that I purchased it legally. Would that cause problems in other areas of China? That is a very expensive bike to loose due to technicalities....
