I don't wanna sidetrack from my beautiful chinese machine but I would like to talk about that beauty wave for a moment.
It's actually really cool, 4 speed automatic clutch just like an old honda cub or CT 90. It revs really nicely, and has a great engine sound. I only weighs 68 kg and I've had it loaded well over 150 kgs with passenger and groceries. It does feel dangerous this loaded however, but it seems fine because I only do about 40 km/hr due to having wifey on the back.
I really wanted to do a big ride on it but my in-laws are concerned about bandits. I hope one year I can join someone with the same idea as me, and drive into Laos on a 2 or 3 week tour. This is the direct competition for chinese manufactured machines IMO, because they build them in Thailand for very cheap. The quality is really top notch!
