Your standard Chinese motorcycle. It should be noted that the police ride Suzuki. The bottom line in China, like most poor countries, is that if you have wheels, albeit a bycycle, motorcycle, car, or truck, along with a bit of imagination and some resources, you have a job...crappy wheels or great wheels.

"Hey Lou!
Thanks for the photos. The more modern ones are copies of Japanese designs,
if not actually Japanese, and the big one with the sidecar is a BMW design
from the 40's or 50's. It would be interesting to know if they stole the
design or came by it honestly as war reparations after WWII. I know the
English were awarded some German designs after the war."
