To say we have them here in the UK is a little misleading, we have 2 sellers:

I doubt if many (if any) have been sold, here in the UK learners are on 125cc bikes and most GY's are this size, the 200cc Chinese GY's are very rare although the 250cc road bikes are gaining in popularity. The market for bikes between 125 and 500cc is very small. The 300 seems a good spec, alloy rims and stainless exhaust but at 22bhp what's the point? It's hardly any more that our 200/250cc bikes. If the Chinese were to produce a Honda clone of about 350/450cc producing 30bhp, supply spares, and keep the price to about £2000 ($4000) they might have a winner. The bottom line is we are all prepared to spend "throw away" money on a Chinese bike, if it turns out to be junk we've not had out fingers too burnt, but larger amounts the bike's got to be 110%.
