Chinese bikes? Post some links to some dealer pages. I don't want to buy, but want to look.

Are they totally outdated like the Royal Enfield? Or do they try to emulate modern bikes?

I heard the Chinese are trying to pass muster to export an automobile to the USA. I'd not be suprised if an MC or Scooter would follow.

The Chinese make some guitars that provide an excellent bang for the buck.

There's a lot of folks in other countries out there that appreciate a honkin' big bike.

yup big brushes is me. Embarrassed

actually it was more af a slam on americans than anything else. world wide there will always be a thirst for big machines. Wink

i was speaking more of a basic transportation item.
travel to the third world and you will see what i mean about the bike size.

i just loved those 100cc machines with sidecars in manila.

What a surprise, I bought one of the trikes last month in Kent, Wa. Was driving by a store that had it out front just North of Bent Bike Motorcycle Salvage on the main drag. Was on sale and just fits in the back of our new Colorado Crewcab short box PU. Mine has fold up seats on the sides vs crossways, and a more PU like box withtail gate. Knock off Honda 100 engine, with auto clutch, 4 speed, and electric start. Reverser unit is in drive chain and the rear axle has a differential so it will start in a turn unlike the 3 wheel ATV's which usually ran a solid rear axle. It is a hoot to use here in the country. Wife used it to harvest her gourds this Fall as I haven't got the worn out Kawasaki Mule back together for her yet. It fits through a standard fence gate and that is handy.

Back to concept bikes. was looking around the net a while back and found a picture of the standard bike version of the Savage. Also used another name Suzuki used, Tempter, use goggle and search for 1997_tempter_490.jpg. I'll ty to drag and drop an picture. Max
