    I could say something rather rude but I'll bite my tongue. Time will prove you wrong, so very wrong. Don't let actual facts or first hand experiences of other people get in the way of your dream of cheaper motorcycling nirvana.
    Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.

    i know Japanese bikes are the best, but are they worth twice the money ? if i get £1500 back in 2 years it will still be less depreciation than a Japanese bike... i got back the same money i paid for the 2 Chinese bikes i owned for 3 years

    People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

    Yes.

    Haha, seriously, I was happy with my Skyteam, and it is still a very good bike, but I wanted a basic two stroke street bike with no bells and whistles. As I saw that Jawas are still being sold in Europe, there was nothing much to do other than to buy one, since I chickened in getting the ultimate, that is the Ural.

    What is important is that you are happy with your bike. What other people say matters nothing.

    Yeah, I know they sell them, the price is a bit high, but it is an European, very simple, sturdy, and reliable bike with low maintenance costs. Not a toy.

    Well, I don't see any ass licking. The fact is that China Bikes are sub par bikes when compared to Japanese bikes, and I understand what they are saying is that they tell what is the reality. China bike can be cheap when you buy it, but after a few years it holds practically no value. So if you want to buy a new bike, you will get nothing of your China bike. This is where the China bike is not so cheap anymore, not to mention how time is money and the big hunt and research for spare parts, oh well, is something what turns the tide heavily against the china bikes.

    I would propose that we don't become too emotional regarding bikes. That is something what is part of the it doesn't matter what people say way of life.

    Is licking and kissing the same thing in Finland?
    The members in China that own a CFMOTO, bought them because they were the best offering that they can get for a reasonable price. They do not rave about them, most have stated; if they were outside of China they would not have bought them. Most of them will recommend that you consider a purchase of a used Japanese motorcycle.
    Comparing a 650cc CFMOTO with all the other motorcycles coming out of China is too general, the value at resale for these is actually unknown, they will hold some resale value but certainly not as much as a recognizable brand. I do not imagine CFMOTO closing up, they seem committed to a market share, and so as long as they are in business and parts are available they should hold some resale. In a few years they may be more popular.
