Hiya Hyrb! The thing to do is take you time and don't get flustered or do anything in haste. It took me about 6 months of research before I began to know my way around, and one model from another. Due to California's crackpot pollution standards I ended up getting the Znen 250, and you're correct, in that it is the weakest link in the Znen chain (which is frustrating) because it's basically a good machine, with a beautiful design that just needs a little more QC on the subsystems to make it great. Having said that, as far as Chinese machines go I'll second the vote for Linhai as being a better built scooter. Whatever you choose do a pdi, keep up on maintenance and you'll have many miles of trouble free scootin'! Good Luck, See ya on the road!

P.S. ever consider a used Honda reflex?
