Well, I think Flying Gringo may have a point - to a certain extent.
I own a Chinese-made single, and I don't think it's 'junk' - but I don't think it's proven either. The fact of the matter is that for the most part, the new wave of Chinese imports are unproven one way or the other. Take a search on the internet. The fact of the matter is that you will find next to zero information, either good or bad.
I bought mine because I know a fellow with an identical model. He commutes on his daily and does the occasional weekend trip. In his first year he put just over 13,000 KM on it without a single problem or flaw. That's great as far as it goes, but I'm still waiting for someone to put up an internet page about his Chinese single going RTW, or from Alaska to Argentina.
Hmm. No one else has done it... maybe it'll have to be me...
