50cc machines imported from China to the UK outsold those from Japn by 10 to 1 in 2003! This did include mini motos BTW.
How long before they take on the bigger Japanese bikes of 600cc and more?
Could china do the Japanese what they did to our bike industry?
Read about a Chinese bike called FOSTI. CG125 copy. Never heard them before!
Donate – Or Imperial Data will have you sorted!The Chinese bikes normally have a Honda engine which is made under licence. The Yang-Sang bikes don’t use spanners; all the bolt heads have a hole through them so that they can be removed with chopsticks.
Be seen and be Safe!

Do they run on soya sauce?[:o)]
LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, what a ride!
Ive heared they run on wanton and chicken & sweetcorn soup

I was looking on ebay last night, brand new 125s for £500 to £750.
Look in the Forest if you want to find treesShame they only last a few miles, they use the same material that the old gsx250 heads were made of – part metal, part cheese…..
Look round for some reviews, they all get thumbs down. There is a copy of the sv that was tested on one of the bike programs and the two testers rubbished it completely.
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.

Where can I find these reviews?
Look in the Forest if you want to find treesTry googling for them, cant remember the name of the programme with the bike test but it was on men and motors with a bloke and some woman presenting.
And where do you think the phrase “as poorly made as a chinese motorbike” comes from?

You get what you pay for I suppose, but some of them are less than a 1/3 the price of a Japanese equivalent. They would only need to last a couple of years to be cost effective.
Look in the Forest if you want to find treesDont know about the others but i know 2 people who had the honda 50 copies, one was in a road bike frame and the engine lasted less than 500 miles, this was replaced with an old honda 50 engine (genuine) and it is still running while the rest of the bike falls apart round it.
The other was in one of these pit bikes that are advertised on ebay, although his lad ran it like he did all the hondas he had – all day on the field flat out with him and his mates on it, with little or no regard to oil changes etc (which you could do with a honda!). This one lasted 3 weeks before it siezed and an old honda 90 engine went in it. The second one may not really be a fair test, but as you said, you gets what you pays for…..I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.

There seems to be very little on these bikes in the mainstream press, surprised MCN or BIKE have not featured them. They must be selling, though I have only seen one or two on the road.
