Sign of the times. Spotted these 3 parked up and know nothing about any of them but they are all Chinese. I assume the far one is a UCM (as opposed to a UJM) the nearest one is (Lexmoto). I've heard of the middle one (Mash). There was a big Triumph ADV there earlier but it had gone when I got back. The Lexmoto and Mash looked quite well put together, the distant one looked, err, basic.

I see it drew a huge crowd of admirers.

My mate bought one when they were practically giving them away because no one wanted them.

To this days he says it was the best bike he ever had... but that might change, he's just bought an 848 Evo.

It's definitely something different in the garage and occasional spin. Not without there faults though, but that one's new.

I sent him the link.

His response was that the 2009 version got a dodgy alternator, his was a superior 2008 :)

He also added that his ate at least one belt a year and it was best practise to change the wheel bearings every time you changed a tyre as it used to eat them.

Back in 2009 you could pick a new one up for just under £5k.

Yep...they were a pile of shit...but it was a 'bit different' pile of shit. 🙂

Did the spring belt tensioner help the bearings, I can't remember, probably not.

Spotted in an antique dealers.

No idea what it is, too much junk round it to get a better shot.

Yesterday I was at Oulton Park BSB & saw this on one of the trade stands :shock:
I've read about these & remember them being discussed on here, but it's the first time I've seen one in the great outdoors.
Sadly I never heard it running so can only guess what it sounds like,& notably there was no price tag on it.Attracted a lot of interest though...
