Because, if this is not your first bike, chances are you have bought one already and didn’t even know! China us the leading global supplier of motorcycles, producing over half of the world's stock, and this trend is set to continue.

The Chinese motorcycle industry started in a similar vein to the Japanese industry. Despite early criticism and doubt in eastern production values, manes such as Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki emerged and became the household brands that represent motorcycling today. Now, with modern technology, China look to better this remarkable evolution in motorcycle production- not only in quality, but also in value. Brands such as Lifan, Jinlun, Baotian and Yiben look set to give these Japanese giants serious competition.

Chinese manufacturers have been working closely with world-leading companies, producing their stock to strict quality standards. They have benefitted from their designs and input, and now with successful manufacturers having proven themselves worthy of producing models for brand-name companies, many suppliers are now attempting to change China's reputation from a source of inexpensive reproductions to a source of quality models with original designs- a task that certainly appears to be succeeding; our exclusive Pulse Adrenaline125 scored 4 stars in MCN and received much adulation in TAG magazine, to name but one model!

Quality may be soaring, but the prices have remained the same, and it is a very exciting time to be involved within the industry. There has never been a better time or opportunity to buy a Chinese scooter or motorcycle, and you never know: with our fantastic range, you may have a 21st century classic on your hands.

We use a selection of couriers, dependant on the size and weight of the item. If you need to get in touch with them for any reason, we can provide you with contact numbers for you to contact them to get specific information about delivery times.

We will do our best to advise you of an approximate delivery date, and the courier will call you (when they get your order), to confirm more precisely, the date and time they can deliver. If you need any contact details regarding the couriers we use, please call us on 0871 789 2169.

We do not recommend attempting to 'de-restict' this or any of our vehicles, for several reasons. You may cause the bike to become unsafe. Should you make a change to the stated BHP, or performance of the vehicle you would need to have the vehicle put through an SVA test. Changes of this kind will very likely invalidate your insurance and furthermore, you will probably need a full motorcycle license to ride the vehicle. These changes would also invalidate your warranty with us.

When we register a bike for you, you will receive (with the bike) an envelope containing your tax disc (12 months). A V5 log book will be sent to you from the DVLA in approximately 4 weeks. You will also get some useful information regarding the maintenance of your vehicle, which you will need to keep for the future, when you have the vehicle serviced.

Just as many vehicle dealers do, we initially register the vehicle to ourselves, in order to streamline the assembly and delivery process. You would be the second registered keeper of the vehicle, but you would still be able to say that you have owned it from new.

If you would like to be sure of getting the new registration plate we can hold the order until after the beginning of September/March, so that you will get a "new" plate. Obviously this will mean a delay in getting your vehicle.

If you passed your test before 2001 and have a full car license you can ride up to a 50cc scooter with 'L' plates, unless you are otherwise prohibited. If you passed your test after this date you would need to apply to the DVLA for a provisional bike license and complete a CBT. To ride anything up to a 125cc bike you need at least to have a valid CBT certificate (these only last for 2 years). Many of our dealers also offer this service, so please check out the "Find a Dealer" section of our website. Please be aware that this is a guide only and is subject to legal change, so please refer to your driving licenses and the regulating authority the DVLA if unsure.

With this, you will not need to retake a CBT upon expiry. Over 125cc Motorcycles- Full UK Motor Bike License (Sub Category 'A-2') Riders can ride any bike, without L-plates and with pillion, for the first 2 years, however the vehicle must be restricted to a power output not exceeding 33bhp.
