    So I got the new issue of Cycle World in the mail and lo and behold they did a review of a chinamoto. It is the Johnny Pag JPM FX-3. I checked the CW website for a link but there isn't one yet. I didn't notice any outright bashing... just the same comparisons to Japanese bikes. It was a straight review of the bike listing it's strengths and weaknesses. They like that it is comfortable to ride even for taller people but found the suspension weak. They do remark about the low price being a reason to check it out though. Is this the first that a chinamoto has been reviewed in a "regular" magazine?

    There was a positive review of a Puzey XTR-250 dirt bike in ADB Magazine which I believe stands for 'Australian Dirt Bike' magazine. Let me find a link:

    (This is the full review as posted on Pitster Pro's site)

    The small Chinese manufacturer Galaxy apparently makes the XTR 250 for Puzey and Pitster Pro

    Actually, if you look at Pitster's page, there are some reviews of their pit bikes from magazines

    David,

    I saw that article and wrote a response to the editor of the magazine about how they don't really understand the Chinese motorcycle industry.

    It's clear that the Chinese manufacturers are going to have to start shelling out some advertising/sponsorship money or the big rags will never take them seriously even though there are bikes of note already on shore.
