I have to say somthing.... japan......

I'm not sure why but isn't this the Chinese thread?

Everyone that own's somthing other than Chinese bikes come on this exclusive thread about China bikes and slam them.

I realize that the moderators have their hands full but come on people. When a new thread or comment is posted and it's in the China section and all you can do is chime in and say all China is crap you just look like a tool.

It's like going to a car lot with all red cars and saying you hate red! Fine hate red all you want but quit slamming everyone else who does like red.

I don't go to the xr50 threads and talk crap, why?

Because I own a china bike and I stick the the china forum.

I know I'm barking up a tree and no one will listen but I had to say it.

When Japanese (Honda) is tried and true for all these years, why would you want to deviate and deal with all the headaches? Craftsmanship, engineering, there's just no comparison.

Re: I have to say somthing.... japan......

looks boys you're missing the point, WE ALL KNOW: that japan makes a better bike.

WE ALL KNOW IT.

This particular section of PM is for china bike people, not Japan bike people coming in and wagging their tail feathers and pointing big fat fingers and saying, "I told you so."

So stop it, no one likes it, and you wind up looking like arses. No one is arguing with you that japan makes a better bike.

Let me make the point again: This is a china forum, not a japan forum, we who own china bikes like them and that's ok that we like them, either add somthing positive to help or stick to your sections of PM.

So....

Since this is not bike related or about a bike problem, you should not be wasting threads in the china forum. This should have been posted up in the off-topic forum.

Re: I have to say somthing.... japan......

Unless you are about 14, or have a mental age of 14, you know that you get what you pay for. I paid about $750 shipped for my SDG and still think it was a good buy. If I had to go down to the Honda store and shell out probably twice that amount for a similar bike, I wouldn't have done it, and I wouldn't have a mini today. The fact is, chinese made products let those that normally wouldn't spend a higher sum of money for a better made bike have something that is good enough for what they want. I didn't buy my SDG with the intent to race it in competition, just for fun in the local area, and to tinker with because I love doing that as a hobby. It doesen't have a Honda backed warranty, it has none at all, but that's just fine for me because I will cover it myself if something breaks and have fun doing that. Chinese made bikes get slammed a lot but I think that a big part of the problem is that inexperienced guys don't know how to tighten a bolt properly, or understand how a carburetor works, and those are the guys that should stick to buying Hondas so that the factory backing will fix it for them. Everyone Loctites the crap out of these bikes because they forgot to tighten a few bolts and so believe it was the bike's fault for being chinese, when if they would just pay a bit more attention to their work nothing would fall off. I have ridden my SDG for probably 4 hours now and haven't had a single bolt loosen, and I don't use Loctite.

I am 14 and i do know that i get what i pay for =) im on my second chinese bike and its holding up really good (and its not a stock SDG or anything that has beast mode parts on it, its even cheaper than that) and ive had it for like 8 months and have put WAYYYY too many hours on it like 200+ hours i'd imagine. and not one single thing has broken so far except one bolt that hold the skidplate on and that was my fault for snapping the head. ive got sooo many miles and hours on it the shift drum is just now BARELY starting to go out on it. so my thoughts are that if you just want a cheap bike to play on and not race. go chinese. they will hold up just fine if you dont abuse them. and my view of abuse is a grown man riding a mini...you gotta think. they werent made for that. and thats why we see BBR and all them making aftmk parts so that grown men CAN ride them. me personally i ride like a maniac. i jump jumps that are waaayyy to big for my bike and it has handled it really well. even though im only pushing 100 lbs. ppl complain about chinese bikes breaking because there are full grown men on them. and i do agree that they are made cheap. they do break and mess up and stuff but if they average 10 year old got a china bike, my bet is that it would hold up just like a honda. well thats just my 0.2 (or whole dollar for that matter)

Re: I have to say somthing.... japan......

I think for the most part people will naturally bash anybody or
anything not just like them. Kinda sucks if you ask me. Kinda like

Pepsi versus Coke
Honda versus Yamaha versus Suzuki versus Kawasaki
Toyota versus Honda versus Nissan

Either way most folks make themselves feel better when bashing
something. It is the old bully system. Life is too short to spend
trying to please haters.



P.S. You can buy Derek Costello's vegas bike for close to $10,000.
Guess what, it doesn't come with a guarantee that you will become
a better rider. It just means you have a expensive bike.

XR70 is probably not working because of a simple lack of maintenance, or a simple need for freshening up. Every engine ever made in the world has worn or will wear out. I suggest you fix up the XR. This is just my opinion. Do as you wish.
