08-17-2014, 03:04 AMHi Doc,
Thats an awesome trip...Would love to join but i am just back from Chiang Mai (where i rented a Yam Bolt 900cc for few days) and have to go back to France for Christmas period, so no more holiday flexibility unfortunately...
Thanks a lot for letting me know. and lets try to catch up one Weekend around MGS / Anji. We are planning a weekend trip with Mark (mblank) soon.
Cheers

Hi guys
Just like to post a few pictures taken
over the last few days on the way back
To Hainan from Thailand , decided to hug
the border road between vaitnan / china
found some of the best scenic roads
To be found in this area , but like most
roads in China you have to expect the
unexpected and at one part I must of
Crossed over 200 landslides just so
happy I was not on a street bike ?

BD,
I had a few days on the CB500X as well last year, driving from Chiang Mai to the Burmese border - I think the place is called Pai - and around. Really nice bike, I agree. Good on dusty offroad tracks (although didn't encounter mud), and powers through on fast tarmac as well, plus comfortable for hours on end.
I can imagine it would be a very reliable companion for the sort of trip we are discussing here, and the engine will be bulletproof.
Have you seen them in China, or have they started copying it yet?

As Prince666 wrote having a copy of the CB500X or similar would likely not be worthwhile unless it was made by one of the better MC manufacturers. At the end of the day though, obtaining the real deal CB500X would likely only cost approx 30-35% more than most overseas markets given that the CB500 series bikes are made in Thailand, as there are obviously some preferential and favourable import policies for ASEAN member countries exporting MC's into PRC as can seen from my Thailand vs International pricing comparison post.
For the time being only the CBR500R and CB500F are available through the Chinese Honda distributor. Who knows if or when the powers that be will import the CB500X. Some of the independent shops (e.g. Tonjoy) might have access or import the CB500X, though as of about 2 months ago, they had no plans to do so at the time.
Apparently there is supposedly some decision making going on at then moment and announcements forthcoming in or around October concerning motorcycles, and not just specifically related to Honda either. Both Honda and Kawasaki confirm that they'll likely be party to these announcements though nothing was forthcoming in the conversations I had at the time. Might not be anything too significant, perhaps it might be just some special price promotions for the October 'National Day holiday', or perhaps some new model announcements... all conjecture at this point...Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist
