+1 to that. You're getting honest straight advice here. If you're getting a China bike, make sure you can trace it's roots to a known manufacturer. Qingqi (their 200cc mortard in particular) for example, is known to be one of the more reliable manufacturers here. In the US the dealer is CCW, Cleveland Cycle Works >> http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/sh...ll=1#post20232 and >> http://www.clevelandcyclewerks.com/b...nd-cyclewerks/. Lifan is another choice, but they only have 200cc and below..

The difficult part is trying to trace back the original manufacturer, as the bikes are branded differently in every country. Gets confusing, but that's why such a forum exists..
