Bolivian China Bikes

Hello all,

My friend and I are trying to decide between three motorcycle brands in bolivia to complete a round trip Patagonian road trip. We are looking at 250cc bikes, but can only find limited information on the brands (Montero, Taurus, and Pegasus). Does anyone know about Taurus specifically? This has been the most attractive offer for what we need (price and stronger back rack to strap on packs.) Interestingly, it has also been the most elusive of the three brands, we heard Pegasus can actually be decent reputation wise. Also saw where Kyngo has a good rep.

Old thread http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=11632 had some tips.
These brand are named by importer that are not useful to us. Importer can change to bargain spec/ maker that ruins their reputation in no time... Focus on the WMI / how's it build (lots of pic) on the bike will tells u something ...
btw. That "LP6" don't exists anymore http://www.dmotor.com.cn/html/2015/d...11/104652.html
