Chinese built? Yes. Then again so is Yamaha's TTR50 as well as a few other big name bikes. It has absolutly nothing to do with where the bike is built and everything to do with the quality of the parts and assembly. Most of the crap bikes people associate with China are just that crap parts and assembly, then again expecting anything more for what little money they have spent on them is a pipe dream. You get what you pay for applies to every consumer product available be it made in Germany, the USA, Japan or China. Both a Whopper and prime rib come from cattle but they don't cost the same.
Built pretty good? Heck yes! That was the whole idea, to build a excellent quality bike that doesn't need a ton of aftermarket upgrades (most all which are made in China for these aftermarket suppliers BTW!) and as an added bonus supply parts for the bikes we sell.
JD you have a PM from me.
