Also, you need to consider the cost of "Parts and replacement items"
In this case, the MT wins hands down?.
6 years ago in I said on MCM "I would never buy any Chinese bike again".
Things mover on here in China and CFmoto IMO has moved on more than any other Chinese Manufacturer in terms of overall improvements to a bike to the nearly level of the Japanese 4.
I said NEARLY lol.
Well if it's going to be a bike, it will HAVE to be a Chinese bike...always better to buy or hire local...other recommendations beside the MT?

So my conclusions so far are:
- not really necessary to get residence and full DL, it should be possible to get a temporary car and MOTO DL at Chengdu airport; this temporary DL together with an IDL should be good enough to drive anywhere
- it should be possible to obtain the bike from some dealer (easier rent than buy??)
- any of this failing, there's still the backup option of car rental

Did I get it right?

Thanks and regards!
