Chinese Manufacturers Assembling Japanese Powersport Products
Does anyone know which Chinese assembly plants or Chinese manufacturers have been involved with assembling/producing dirt-bikes, motorcycles, or ATV's for Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, or Suzuki at the current time? And if so, do you know which Japanese models are involved?
I am under the firm belief now that certain Chinese assembly plants and manufacturers have been working closely with Japanese powersport companies and also produce their own Chinese products on-site which are very similar or identical to Japanese quality due to standards put upon them. I am a HUGE powersports fan and seek Japanese quality, but do not think the RIDICULOUS prices for them are justified anymore. If I can find Chinese models which are close in quality standards to that of Japanese models, I will buy Chinese motorcycles, dirtbikes, and ATVs exclusivity for now on. Does anyone know which Chinese powersports manufacturers or assembly plants are the ones chosen by Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, or Suzuki to produce certain models of Japanese products? I think this would be key info to finding inexpensive Chinese prices for Japanese outstanding reliability. Such a deal cannot be beat!! Anyone have any info on this topic? Thanks. |

I've always been told that Quinqi has been making many Japanese products for years.
Supposedly they've been making small displacement Suzuki, KTM and Kawasaki motors. I have yet to read anything to substantiate this but I can tell you that my Qlink 200 seems far more than just a "clone" of a Suzuki motor.
