A new brand of chinese "sports bikes"?

[jasonu]

Yet they make SKS and AK47 clones that work 100% - go figure!

But they have been making them for ever and have gotten good at it. Who knows how good the first AK/SKS clones were. Maybe in 10 years their bikes might be acceptable.

Just because there heaps of shite wont stop people buying em christ look at the shit Harley used to produce and people loved them.

Yup, my brother has an SKSChina very nice gun and fuggin cheap as chips (expensive chips mind you)

[Katman]

Yeah, but guns are designed to kill.

Is that what you want from motorcycles?

No I want a motorcycle to hug me when I'm sad.

Okay, that was a shit response, point taken Kman.
More China bashing? More bashing a bike none of us have ridden?

That's like turning down a normal looking chick because she may or may not have early onset of leprosy, but we cannot confirm it until she has been ridden and your dick falls off

Normally I like to support new product and the competition it brings but these bikes will not last well on nz roads.

[avgas]

but these bikes will not last well on nz roads.

Does that matter?

I personally don't think we should ban things because they won't last. Hell some make great lounge chairs

Just because there heaps of shite wont stop people buying em christ look at the shit Harley still to produce and people loved them.

Fixed it for ya

Nah, we must ban anything that breaks, like modern Volvos, VW's/VAG products, Mercs, many BMWs, many Toyotas (especially them troublesome CVTs and chain drive motors with stretchy chains), CVT Nissans and Hondas while we're at it. Rusty late model Falcons, same goes for the Dunnydores but not as bad, eleastic cam chain Alloytecs...

Fuck, that means we can't own anything except a Camry with a 5SFE? Oh, they drop nuts off the oil pump and throw oil out all over themselves.



Actually, I reckon a lot of these little Chinese bikes will do very well for themselves.
I cannot wait to get my grubby little mitts on one of them Megelli buggers, sexy little bikes! Bit of CR500 and it'd be good fun.

I have heard from a good source that in China when there's a need for a product a factory is equiped to produce said item.

No production/assembly machinery maintainence is done as the theory is that whatever the item is it will only be 'in fashion' for a short time before a newer different item is seen to be wanted.

So why maintain the factory machinery to run for 50 years when it only needs to go for five (or less?)?
