I hope that's not directed towards me. I've owned a couple of "Chinabikes" so my opinion is based on experience from both sides of the story. And I am not saying Chinese scooters are junk, just disagreeing with anyone saying they are just as good as Japanese/Taiwanese machines.

As I mentioned before, you don't have to pay a fortune to get a high end quality scooter, there are some inexpensive Taiwanese options.

If a Chinese scooter is what you like, that's fine with me.

Lol everyone has there opinion. we don't have to argue. I don't come on these forums to listen to bickering. Just take each thing for what it is. Chinese bikes are cheap and yes they can be reliable will they last 50000 miles? I don't know I haven't seen one. But who cares just ride the damn thing till it blows up and get another one.
