Hola from NOLA
Hi, y'all.
New member here, joining from New Orleans. Until recently the only Chinese bikes I knew about were the original CJ750's, and only because they are close relations to my Ural. I've lately become interested in the CSC lineup. Specifically the RX4, as I am a fan of the ADV bikes, but not that interested in the size (and price) of the BMW GS and Triumph Tiger lineup. I do have a '06 Tiger, and it is an amazing ride, but it is really tall and heavy, and frankly too much bike for my riding taste. I also saw that Chang Jiang has a new sidecar lineup in the Peking and the Dynasty. And a marque called Yingang has a Ural/CJ knockoff that looks "interesting" Look forward to enlightening discussions.

Welcome! The owner of this forum is in Houma, LA, not so far from you.
I had two Changjiang 750s in the 1980s, the first a modernized one with OHV BMW-knockoff motor and modern-style paint treatment. The second one was the familiar military green side-valve version. Bought 'em in Beijing when I worked at the US embassy there. Brought the green one back to the States but eventually sold it. These new ones are much more advanced in terms of the powerplant, and with drive sprockets you can change up the gearing. The old ones were shaft drive, and geared for low speeds. The Yingangs are 150cc, 400-lb sidecar bikes with 12" tires. Meh. Here's an article on the CJ650s for Europe. Doubt they will come to the States. https://www.rideapart.com/news/49817...ecars-updated/

Welcome aboard! Yes I am from Houma but not the owner of this website. Just a volunteered Moderator. CSC is one of the top best dealers IMO.

I stand corrected. Who owns it then?

Yeah, s member at Soviet Steeds posted some promo videos of the YG. Even in the promos the bike looks a little, well, little and a bit unstable. I never expected the CJ650's to make it stateside, but they do look good.

Nice to meet virtually meet you. I'll have to see if the Ural can make it down to Houma one day and meet up.

I sure would be to up to that. Just give me advance notice as most of my weekends have been tied up playing music at local festivals and night clubs. We just pulled 4 gigs from Friday to Sunday. It was a long weekend and we start again on Thursday night through Sunday.

Just did JazzFest this weekend. Man, I missed it the last two years. Always enjoy watching The Lost Bayou Ramblers live. Had a friend playing with The Who, but left them early to catch Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit do an absolutely killer set. Let us know where and when your group is playing.
