Phone is acting up, had to log in on the craptop.

Anyway, it's really more about availability. It's seems very difficult to find a bike with a larger displacement than 125cc. More than that is apparently a grey area legally. The largest I have found at the place where I bought mine is only 150.

I was in Hong Kong a few weeks ago and I saw a guy riding a CBR600RR. I think I fell in love with it right there. I really want to try it out. Due to the difficulty I am having in finding a new bike, I intend to move to the Philippines in a few months. It's gonna be a pain in the arse, but worth it in the end. I'll have a better bike, and more beautiful surroundings to ride through.

I can get the tarantulas here, maybe not rare but they have some pretty ones. Not too far away there is an exotic pet wholesale place. I have 1 Chilean Rose tarantula, 2 Emperor scorpions, 2 corn snakes, 1 milk snake, 1 rough green snake, 2 bearded dragons and 2 veiled chameleons. :D

As for the Chinese brand bikes, I haven't seen the one you mentioned but most of them try to look like existing brands. ISUZUKI, Honba, Kawamaha. I always laugh when I see the brands people are using.

Just had a quick look. Seems their HQ is based in Zhejiang province. It's crazy though, I have never seen any bike like that on the road here. Plenty of Lamborghinis, Ferraris etc but when it comes to motorcycles, it's all the same generic stuff.
