Those chinese have really screwed up this time trying to copy an XR50 and then saying its a Suzuki. Maybe they thought if they said it was a Honda no one would wanna buy it.

I know who Barry Sheene is he's the guy that invented Pledge.

Just in case anyone does read this and ask the above question... hopefully this review of a book about Sheene's life will fill in a few details:
