Many moons ago, I was purchasing and reviewing a lot of Chinese bikes. I was trying to learn more about the various manufacturers and also trying to help people on MCM discover which bikes were good options for China. None of the manufacturers I contacted gave me bikes, but most were willing to help my purchase one, and some, like Yingang, were actually very pleasant to deal with. Shineray was by far the worst bunch of idiots I ever met in all my business dealings during my 15+ years of living in China. They took incompetent twits to a whole new level. After MANY unsuccessful attempts to procure a bike though their dealers, or directly through the factory, I offered to fly to their company headquarters with cash in hand. They refused to sell me a bike and insisted I had to purchase through my local dealer. This started the whole go round again of not having a local dealer and their inability to deliver a bike.

Some people have positive Shineray stories. I'm not one of those people. Their bikes may be better than some of the other China Moto's, but as a whole, the company is pretty pathetic. If you're lucky enough to have a good Shineray dealer locally, or you manage to befriend one of the very few people in the company that care, you will probably be happy with what you get.

Cheers!
