New member saying hello
Hello everyone.
I hope to be riding a Chinese bike soon, but I'm still trying to learn as much as I can before pulling the trigger. I went to go buy a bike and strolled down to the local Honda shop and I was shocked at the price of a CFR250L. I haven't ridden a bike in over 20 years and my have prices changed. So this brings me to Chinese motorcycles. I will be plugging into your collective brains so prepare for a lot of questions. -pistolclass (btw I'm a firearms instructor, hence the handle) |

Hi Pistol, what part of the world are you looking in? Also, what type of riding is your pursuit?

Welcome; we are glad you joined us.
You love motorcycles and firearms. In addition, you are willing to contemplate the purchase of a Chinese motorcycle. You will fit in very well at China Riders.

jay, I'm in CT. I'm looking for a dual sport. something very capable off road. i think i narrowed my search to a hawk or a lancer. i will carry it on the trailer hitch on the back of my truck.
I think i narrowed down to two vendors, motobuys and apsc. Im open for suggestions and guidance. in fact i really appreciate it. |

You might also consider the Zongshen TT Special, which is soon to be sold by CSC, in Azusa, California.
