Hi,
I'm an oversea student, currenly in Beijing and I wanna buy my own motobike (small one, about 150~200cc), but I'm pretty new here. And I really don't wanna be ripped off. So a little help for the locals or pros would be really awesome.
Cheers ^^

G'day Max.
I am in a smaller city of Jiangsu province.
I found Yamaha and Suzuki new 250cc bikes to be around 22,000yuan.
If you go for a local manufactured bike using the above mechanicals, ie engines and gearbox they are a little cheaper again. As an Aussie, whos dollars are near parity with US, its about $3000.
I know the same bikes back home cost at LEAST double that.
Its the difference between a population of 30million in Australia, and that's the normal population of one city here!

One final tip, Secure a SOLID chain or cable for security.
If possible source one from overseas so as the local thieves will be less familiar with the lock!
