You've no doubt heard that China produces nearly 20 million (yes 20,000,000!) motorcycles per year. And no doubt at some point, more and more of them will find their way to Australian shores. What type of machines should we expect? Rumors of mid-size 600cc sporty nakeds and lightweight 250 enduro bikes abound.

We decided to check out some of the offerrings from some of China's multitudinous exporters, and have put together a sample of Chinas finest.

We have avoided identifying these wondrous beasts, but think "Happy Wheels" and "Super Racer"  and you can't go far wrong. We have avoided naming them ourselves as well.

Well this yellow peril doesnt look too bad, not sure about the name on it tho. Fartery?

This one's out there in left field, with its cone of silence windscreen.

Can't go wrong with a RR badge and a shocking blend of red, white and orange!

Some kind of road use quad by the looks of it, can't see it getting far in the sand with those tyres.

Looks suspiciously like another major Japanese brands product. Perhaps even more ugly though.

It's not just motorcycles coming our way, who needs a Segway when you can have this beauty. Hopefully a two stroke, for maximum annoyance factor. Love the single handgrip, guess you can put the other hand in your pocket.

Gets even better! I see a wheel, a handle and a shopping trolley component. Throw in a motor, instant gravel rash.

Jealous of those cool Harley trikes ridden by cool badass dudes? Here's your ticket. Plus, it can carry a large load of rotting vegies.

Three wheels not enough, here's a one person car, could be a two wheeler if you drive it fast enough and dangerously enough.
Honestly, think how cool you would look prowling the streets at night in this ride.

Too be fair some of the designs don't look too bad, here's a few that are at least interesting, and perhaps the forebears to something desirable out of the Mysterious East.

Funky looking trike/scooter thing.

A sports? bike.  200cc this one.

Stunt/BMX/Madass cross breed, not too bad, possibly my favorite.

 But..last but not least, possibly one of the greatest design triumphs ever, I present to you the Chinese take on the maxi scooter. Forget your boring Burgman, who cares about your retro Scarabeo, this baby shames them all.

From the crayons of the masters, we present:

drum roll...

 The Maxi Scoot!

Note: I guess its possible one day, Chinese motorcycles will be as universally desired and admired as the best of the Japanese superbikes, or European exotics.

That day is not today.*
