Doc, the short answer to why I'm in Peru, I was riding through and met Charito last year, she is a teacher in Lima. That said, I love the culture, history, food and the people, I have a Carne de Extranjeria so I'm a legal resident. Spud, thanks for the information on the Xingyue. Weldnagrind, I saw the Xingyue at a motorcycle show, it must be imported here under a different name, I've never seen one on the road, it would be no problem to send parts if I can find the dealer. Lima is massive, there are a lot of dealers, I read that Peru will import 220,000 motorcycles this year, 85% of them are Chinese. I also read that there are 150 brands of Chinese motorcycles sold in Peru (my guess is that they mean models not brands).
I'm attaching some photos from the Mavila dealer, they were assembling several mototaxis yesterday, these are actually built by Bajaj, the hardtops and accessories are built by Mavila here in Lima.
Rear engine, 150 or 175cc
