Bike for sale in Shanghai - urgent sale required.

The mighty Haobon 125 is now for sale in Shanghai.

It's only 29 days old and has covered 7,500kms riding QingZhou - Xian - Beijing - Erenhot - Shanghai.

Bike is in spotless condition - never been dropped or crashed and looks like new. It's as tough as nuts, which is what you need for Chinese riding conditions.

I paid close to 4,000 yuan and am asking 2,000 - an absolute bargain. This is by far the cheapest way you can ride in China and the police do NOT check foreigners for licence and/or registration.

I can be contacted via PM, or email at farqhuarforever@yahoo.com.au

Bike is available for viewing and test ride at the Ming Hostel, 450 Jiangxi Rd in the Bund, Shanghai.

Good suggestion Frank, but posting photos is always a challenge for me as the net connections in hostels in China will not handle large uploads. Let's hope this works - a clip from the factory site. The only difference is that my Hapobon is blue, instead of red, and has topbox and crash bars.

THe Haobin is gone (sniff, snuffle) - long live the mighty Haobon.

Haobon has been sold to a local bike repairer for a bargain price.

I'm off to Busan tomorrow morning to pick up the Burgie and start the next stage of my journey.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
