And before this turns into something silly, there's no doubt that Chinese scooters are cheaply constructed, that's why they don't cost $3500 like a PCX 150, or a $5000 Vespa Primavera or even a made in China $2400 Kymco Super 8. You buy a 150cc online for $1200, do a good set up and it will get you there and back again for 10 years.
If you buy a Snap On ratchet for $65 you expect it to last forever. You don't expect a $20 Craftsman Evolv (also built in China) to last forever.
Are the Chinese getting better? I think there are enough 20,000 mile-plus-scooters of all sizes out there to indicate they are.
Would I do a 5,000 mile Tour on a Bintelli 150cc if offered? Yes, absolutely and with no qualms.
