New member in Ohio. Convince me to buy Chinese please.

I've been looking over these Chinese bikes for months and I'm certain that they offer the lowest initial cost of entry into new small bikes. Mods money goes pretty quick with any brand and these Chinese bikes are no different, especially if you can find reliable and quality parts for them.

The Hawk DLX is my prime interest for now, the EFI and ECM are probably worth the extra $500 but I still fear the undeniable poor quality of Chinese products. I've tried to get some specifics on the bike from a Texas distributor but get only sales hype with poor spelling and deplorable grammar.
I have joined this forum with the hope that I will be able to get some straight answers from actual owners. I look forward to having informative discussions regarding the pros and cons of owning a Chinese motorcycle.
My days of hard riding in harsh environments are long gone, I'm looking for an 80/20 street/trails machine for fair weather commuting and weekend fun.
