Snortin, checked out that bike today, it's an old VT250F mid 80's (86?). Man everything is screwed up on that thing.

Looked like this when it was new (same colors too)



Actually I think I shouldn't even try to touch it unless I can find someone with connections, like an important cop mate who could register it (it is possible because it's a 250cc so possibly legal). If I got the green light on that first, I might have a go. 32KW (43hp) and only 143 KG dry is worth working for when you live in China!

This bike now has classic status in my view, and meets my weight and size criteria for these roads, plus double the power of a YBR250!

That is in a few words a NO win situation for them . Won't happen . I also feel there is still some hostility from Japan to China and China to Japan from the Wars in thier past too which doesn't help things either . Japan was terrible to China in the Wars , ruthless murderers , terrible tactics , and very cruel . China won't forget there past , they sure are not going to re-live it in Bike Sales too , LOL !!
True, chances of imported Kawasaki's is pretty small. (It was rumored they got involved with Zongshen years ago then pulled out!) Yamaha reckon that they can import R1's here, same as BMW and Harley import theirs. Plus Honda and Toyota cars are massively popular. Maybe you can like the taste of Sushi without liking the chef!

Post some pics of your bike, I'm British so I get all warm and fuzzy when I see pics of Triumphs and Nortons.
