Hi All! Welcome!
Why do people keep saying these Chinese bikes are beginner bikes? If anything, they are for advanced riders/mechanics, as they require a keen eye and diligent maintenance.
Is it because they are inexpensive? I assure you if you treat your KTM like I have seen some of these treated, they would be junk as well.
Here's mine
Bought it to go exploring the desert of Arizona around Tucson etc. Comes with features the Jap and American don't have, like a kick and electric start.
Good size tank, 12L simple air cooled and carbureted. Easy on the eyes and handles great. A bit gutless, but a few mods and it should be OK. Since in AZ we do not require to burn a headlight, the switch to cut the lights off is awesome. Don't find that on the others.
Catch ya later
