I hope you realize that even the japanese brands have their lower end bikes made in China...try to buy used from "north coast". dont lose one over price... buy japanese.... too many problems w/china...
The Chinese brands have come light years in quality in the last couple of years.Yea im sure of this but what i was saying is there are good chineses bikes out there and Japaneese ie Honda Yamaha Kawasaki Suzuki will cost more money im sure they do have the bikes produced in China But quality wise the Chinese bikes are not the same quality as the top 4 Japaneese bikes I know beendown that road already but like i said there are some good China bikes Kymco and Locin are good
I've got 11 2008 Suzuki V-Strom DL650's up here...IMO, the perfect bike for the entire DR...I agree cobra they have improved greatly i know the Kymco are very popular in my country but i like them they look good the Honda storm is a great bike for a great price and there are lots of them and i belive parets are easy to come by as well. Are you uop in Jarbacoa ive been there once but never really explored it i might be coming that way in a few weeks i am kinda of planning to travel different places on my DT taking pictures and documenting my travels w but i think Jarbacoa may be far to ride the DT ill mount it on the truckl amd come are there some decent rails iu could ride and explor nothing to serious just for a Dt 125
