    prince666, yeah well - nothing major in fact, yet all the Chinese bikes I have ridden (except JiaLing 250 that is) had minor problems that could have been easily avoided with better QC and +0.01 yuan spares.
    I believe that now is the global market sifting process - some Chinese brands build up, some are dying out.

    My prediction:
    In 2-3 years CFMoto will start selling their bikes in the US big time, and, with appropriate after-sales and aftermarket parts, they will make it.

    Benelli makes good-looking bikes, but with the decentralized marketing they do the brand image is just getting nowhere. Either they pull their act together or they will wind up a Chinese curiosity.

    JiaLing, Loncin and Shineray need rebranding real fast. Their bikes are OK and can be fixed with insulation tape and pliers. Problem is: nobody in the West want to have a bike with a name that sounds that weird.
