Chinese bike price sensitivity? $2,000 $4,000 $6,000 ?

I've liked all my China bikes. No real issues. I also like wrenching and making sure everything is good, but that's half the fun to me.
I still have Q, great bike. Would I spend big bucks on a brand new one? Probably not.
The flip side is I've had friends buy brand new, super expensive bikes and they've had their fair share of "out of box" issues and lots of dealer trips. One of my buddy's bought a brand new, KTM Super Adventure 1290 and it's spent over a half a year in the shop.

Spending big bucks and having dealer support sometimes means nothing.
