The Least Risky Scenario
I'm thinking about getting a 4-stroke off road motorcycle, and I don't want to spend thousands of dollars. Without getting into the weeds, it looks like there are two basic choices:
1. New Chinese bike
2. 10+ year old Japanese bike
I get that the Japanese brands have higher R&D budgets, with more thorough QA, but entropy, coupled with young males thrashing the crap out of things, I wonder if the amount of maintenance on a 10+ year old Japanese bike is going to end up being roughly the same amount of maintenance that a brand new Chinese bike would require. Or maybe more...or less...I'm not sure. What do you think?
