If the Eastern European want to tap into low cost manufacturing, they really should pony up to a really good European design house first.

In fact, they are. Their bikes were designed by Italian designer who was responsible for the design of the Mk.1 Morbidelli V8.

In fact Minsk buys its 200cc I believe from ZS?

Yea, from Zong. For their classic line, that is.

I just noticed that Patron IMZ...

Patron's abbreviation is UMZ - Ural's (in sense - of Ural, Uralic; damn my English!) Motocycle Company. IMZ is for factory in Irbit who produces "Ural" boxers.
