Finally! a Hongqi is supposed to have been bought by a private person:

The L5 is due for delivery in 3 months. Price US$ 80 3300.

The lucky buyer is one Wang Zhonghua, of Nanjing, who runs a chain of furniture shops.

As a keen Motorcyclist, I have recently noticed that there are also many high quality Motorcycles now being manufactured by various Chinese factories, seriously competing with the likes of Honda and Yamaha, etc, models in Japanese factories!

Far different from the old, Chinese, rust-bucket, fall-apart, models produced years ago!

The Chinese are catching up.....FAST!.... ...!

£1,000 less than the near Japanese equivalent!

Paul.....Meep-meep.... ...!

I see on the post that fozzer put the link on (Example: ...>>> http://www.lexmoto.co.uk/ZS125-48A.php ) the bikes were 125 cc. A great first bike for anyone just starting out. Cant get away on you too quickly as the bigger bikes can. Also cheaper insurance. I always see too many young kids buy big bikes 600cc and better as thier first bike and it makes me shudder as they dont have skill yet for that kind of power.

When it comes to Motorcycles, I have always had a great sense of survival....and a great fear of pain.....!

Having owned and ridden various Bikes, British and Japanese, from 50cc singles, screaming 2-stroke twins, to 600 and 900cc fours, and 1,000cc vee-twins, most every day, for the past 65 years, I find it difficult to recall any time I have slid down the road!

Riding Motorcycles makes one very conscious of ones surroundings, second by second, and makes one develop into a very good, careful Motorist!

Paul...still riding them, and having loads of fun, every day!... ...!
