After lurking in the chinese part of the Jialing website, I found a Realvideo of a TV commercial for the JL90 which is almost the same as the RCM/NP Passport. looks different in the shock area though. About the only thing I could understand was the Fuel Economy (1.4 liters per 100km) and that there are acutally 3 variants on offer, the JL90-A, B and C the sound seems distorted so turn down your audio first. www.jialing.com.cn/aboutjl/oncrest/gg5.rmAlso one for the JL-100 another step thru design but with a Red Legshield this time... www.jialing.com.cn/aboutjl/oncrest/gg3.rm-Alan P.S. I don't know if I would bring my JL-90 onto a small dock like that in the video (JL90) . ;-)

Thanks! Very cool. Proof of the agreement between Honda and Jialing i guess. Well, there's not much secret there! You can link straight from Honda worldwide site to Jialing, and Honda put out a big press release when they started importing Honda-badged, Jialing-built machines to Japan. Scoot safe, Rod

In Asia koi (Carp) are eaten. Basically big type goldfish, but a different breed. -Alan BTW: what'd he catch - a gold fish? LOL! Rod Fun fact: Suzuki motorcycles was started when Suzukisan wanted to motorize his bicycle to reach his favorite fishing spot.

Well, sure, Izaak Walton praised the carp in "The Compleate Angler" (1676). It's just the cross-cultural thing that makes it humorous.
I guess putting it in a bucket of water on the rear rack illustrates the smooth ride of the Passport!

Fun fact: The Texas state record for wild caught Goldfish (rod and reel) is 5 lbs, 0 oz - Lake Conroe, 1994. (Not koi, BTW - goldfish.)
