Well of course I said YET, I can only have said YET, based on my experience with my other chinese bikes, I'm really not envisioning anything untoward. This is in no way my first chinese bike, having owned in the past a Chituma CTM-125, Jinlun JL-250, Lifan LF400, Skyteam V-Raptor (Still going strong, after 5 years permanently stored outside, and being used in the worst the British weather & road salt can throw at it) Lexmoto Arrow 125, the Mash & now also the CF650

Of the above, I experienced no issues that were any worse, or even as bad as issues I'd had with Japanese & British bikes, and those were generally molly coddled. The CTM was stolen, and although I got it back, just didn't have the heart to fix it up, the Jinlun was stolen & burnt out, the Lifan I donated to my stepson, and the Arrow, I foolishly traded for a second hand Diversion. Should the need, or circumstances arise again, I wouldn't hesitate purchasing any of those bike listed. The Chituma/Jinlun and Lifan were all used on my, at the time, daily 80 mile commuter trek to work & back, and at no point did any of them let me down, no matter what the weather was. In fact, I ended up using chinese bikes to protect my more expensive bikes from the elements, the problem, if I had to go and work at one of the other offices 230 or 400 miles away, not ideal for the smaller chinese bikes, or any smaller bikes, and that's where my Honda or Triumph particularly would have to go out in the inclement weather, and both the Honda VTX1300 & the Triumph America were much more badly affected by the road salt than any of my chinese bikes have been.

Trust me, I rely on my bike(s) to get me to and from work, I still have a 60 mile daily round trip, I wouldn't risk a bike I didn't think could manage that, and if I'd had bad experiences in the past with chines bikes, I wouldn't go near them, but that really hasn't been the case at all.
