I wonder where you will find replacement parts for 60% of the bike that is imported? The industry can't even provide reliable parts distribution for domestic parts, and Italy is no saint when it comes to dealer parts support.
I wonder who will have a complete valve shim set in stock, and the torque specs, for doing a proper valve adjustment?

Registrable - Yes. I forgot to mention that in the original post. That's why this bike is interesting.

Everything else - I'd love to be surprised but there's no way the dealer here can provide that kind of support. Their equipment level consists of a shoebox with a couple of adjustable spanners and a hammer. I have seen it.

You guys are correct, the only thing that will make this bike different from any other chinese bikes is after sales support. The odds of getting 'jialinged' are still pretty high. Although the fact that their warranty is much better gives hope.

I'll hang around at the dealer some more in the next couple of weeks and try to find out how much he actually knows.

Eric, if you ever go by that dealer and feel like stopping to get a test ride, please feel free to tell us what you think of it!
