Truth about gy6 150cc scooters

[DaveC]

OK, now I'm sooo confused on where this is headed.
I read the first post and got confused.

All I know is my girlfriend has a 150 gys wildfire helix clone
it has 5000 miles on it, and all I've done is change the oil regularly

I also have a 1100 shadow Sabre, and a Goldwing, and a wrecked (now repaired) magna V45.

So, I missed the point

I think the OP is meaning he can buy a Chinese scoot and modify it to be close to a big 4 or Italian for half the price of the later. The other guys are saying no way! I agree with both parties. My old XR80 was BULLETPROOF! My moms mid 80's Elite was BULLETPROOF. But now I'm tinkering with my Chinese scooter to make it reliable. I'm too new to know how this Tao Tao will last, but I think I'm getting it there. But I do know I've always ridden Jap sport bikes and they're built well. Very well. I also know that when I'm done with my second house and commuting 22 miles one way to work in back country with limited cell service I'll be on a Honda (or other big 4). But my Tao Tao is perfect for my one way 10 ish a mile per day commute now, in the city, with cell service which I just needed 2 days ago, and huge cracks in the road that are ruining everything.
