I have never seen that before. Are you an importer?

I believe the China Motorcycle News is the re-named C2W.

It's a monthly online magazine with articles that give an inside look at the Chinese motorcycle industry by an "Englishman in China", Dave McMullan.

Excellent insight on the Chinese motorcycle business.

Thanks everyone. No, I'm not an importer I'm a journalist and consultant for the Chinese motorcycle industry, mainly concerning the Chongqing manufacturers but not exclusively. My wife is an exporter of the Fuego brand (Motorhead Tekken and others) and also has a moto parts business (wholesale by the container).

I've been around for many years and seen the lot in the industry

I used to produce C2W but my Chinese partners were too restricting and wanted to include articles that had nothing to do with the Chinese industry (why? Who knows?) so I broke with them to make China Motorcycle News which will always be brutally honest about the industry.

Thanks for the clarification about C2W.

I think your efforts to get the Chinese manufacturers to standardize and promote their "brand" names worldwide is right on target.

I've been nagging them (especially Loncin and Zongshen) to stop re-branding for years and now at least Zongshen have the 'Cyclone' brand.

Now all they have to do is make professional websites, care a bit more about marketing and look at their bloody emails!

English Man In China

Wow! Chinariders, English Man In China (David McMullan) now a member. If you don't know him, he is one of the most respected people in the motorcycle industry here in China for us English speaking people. He understands the business better then anyone.

Chinariders, if you are thinking about importing motorcycles or motorcycle parts by the container load, he is the go to consultant/adviser you want. Plus read his past magazine articles, they give you excellent information.

The Fuego Scrambler looks like a fun ride. Maybe with a 6 speed Loncin RE250 Engine.
