Lexmoto ZSX vs Honda CBF in MCN

Hi Guys,
Has anyone checked out the latest issue of MCN. They had the Lexmoto ZSX vs the Honda CBF! Even more surprising is that the testers both decided that they prefer the Lexmoto ZSX. It's pretty epic that Chinese bikes are starting to get a bit more recognition!

Yeah but that's going for a 5 minute ride on new bikes. Ride both in 5 years time and the Honda wins by a mile, including the resale value.

That is true. But then again resale values on such bikes mean that the Honda has far further to fall that the ZSX. A Honda falling to about £1300 after 5 years would be the same depreciation as if you sold the ZSX for £200 after the same timescale. If the ZSX does have the longevity that Lexmoto seem to believe it has then it will be interesting indeed.

Just noticed that Lexmoto have the article on their page http://www.lexmoto.co.uk/reviews/201308MCN.pdf
