I believe the Ronco is made by Bashan, which seem to have a pretty good clone. I would personally lean towards the Zongshen since they are the same name as the manufacturer, but if the price is enough of a factor, the Ronco should be okay for your needs. I think these Chinese bikes are sorted out by now, with the added bonus for you of actual dealer networks for these bikes. There is a guy on an international adventure site who is located in Peru and offers adventure tourers from around the world help in buying these low cost bikes and getting them on the road rather than the cost of importing a machine from their own home country or spending like $5000 USD on real low-end Hondas and such (bikes seem to have significant tariffs on them all throughout Mexico, Central and South America!).

Here is the thread--maybe you are close by the guy?
