Why do some dealers offer me Hebei plates?
Many dealers have access to sidecars from questionable sources (stolen) or some are PLA surpluse that has no documentation (cheap and illegal), and will sell them with Hebei plates. 99% Hebei plates are FAKE. Fake Hebei cost 300rmb to make on the black market. These sidecars are also much cheaper thus they make much money selling it to you. Do not buy a sidecar with Heibei plates, actually you should call the police if a dealer offers you a sidecar with them. There are many locals riding Chang Jiang 750 sidecars with Beijing plates so why would legal Beijing plates not be available? Also Beijing plated bikes are worth much more due to the fact that it can be ridden legally and insured. Buying a Chang Jiang 750 with Hebei plates is against the law and you are only supporting illegal activity with shady dealers. Just because you are a foreigner does not mean you should be an idiot or break the road laws of China. Get a bike with Jing A plates. Check around you will find honest dealers se
