if i had no "pissed you off" i would have mentioned earlier that i more and more belive (or lets say I BELIVE) that the ybr250cc is manufactured in china. especially since i saw the prices in brazil are about the same as in europe (roughly double china).
@ bmw/loncin : read that in papers as well. sources with bmw munich say that is not entirely true, they are getting parts of the engine from loncin/china. but maybe they just do not want to admit they are sourcing in china. hope the will built the whole bike in china soon so it is available for a reasonable price.
