Camo Chinabike
I thought I saw a Camo Chinabike at the Jimmy Johns last week but I didn't get to see it up close. Has anyone seen a gy-5 like bike in camo?

There was a Vento enduro called the 'Mountrack' that was in camo. It was a rebadged Zongshen Sierra. Vento seems to have discontinued their model.

Must be an aftermarket paint job. You don't see many cars, trucks, or street legal motorcycles painted in camo by the manufacturer. Just think about it--camouflage is designed to make something hard to see. When you are on the street, especially on a bike, you WANT to be seen for obvious reasons!

There's a China bike called the FJ 750 that is a copy of the Ural. I'm hoping they start coming in, but I've heard that the Chinese military put the lockdown on exporting them. I have no idea why, they're 1938 technology!
Mrhyak... I'll trade you my Lifan for your (really, really nice) Ural! I have a certain lust for those (and all) military bikes. A local guy has a military Indian, the guy who rides with him has a mil Harley... it just kills me that I don't own either one! |

I saw a Camo Enduro on the internet a few weeks back, when I was surfing the web. I can't remeber what website but I will try and find it. It had a Round Head light...if I'm not mistaken...
I know it was a Chinese Enduro.

I looked around for a few minutes, but I can't find where I saw the Camo Enduro. I think it might have been EBAY...Who knows.
Anyway... onto Military bikes. Has anyone ever owned a Royal Enfield like this. or similar.... http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/models/military.html

www.shineray.com has a new camo GY-series dirtbike shown. (Try this link http://www.shineray.com/html/prodsho...386&typeid=104 )
The Shineray is very retro looking. If you go to Vento's site, I think its www.vento.com and click on another country's Vento site, Chile, they show their Mountrack model that used to be sold here (the Mountrack is Vento's rebadged Zongshen Sierra/Qlink X-ranger. It, too, is camo-colored.

The Ural is a very nice motorcycle. If I had one of these I'd ride all year long! I came very close to owning one of these back in the late 90's. The reliability scared me away from it. They have come along way since then. This is the version I'd love to have. It's orange Russian camo. Very nice. Can't see camo? They'd see you coming down the road on this thing. No doubt! The newer Urals use front Brembo brakes and a new Adventure package is available for them. The Gear-Up shown costs $10,995. You'll have to order the orange camo version. It is a special order only item.
