Most disappointing china bike?
I was sitting here thinking about all the china bikes I've owned in the past and which one I liked the least. Without a doubt it would be the Venom X22. It was basically a ninja 250 sized bike with a grom clone motor in it. It wasn't a badly built bike really but it was just not a very fun bike to ride.
Second would have to be the a late 2008 or 09 gy6 125 scooter. I loved it when I first got it. It was peppy and at first I thought it was going to last me a good long while. I don't recall exactly how long I had it but it ended up blowing the headgasket pretty soon. It was the only bike I had at the time and I was crushed. What was your least favorite china bike and why?

That is a good flip! I had a 50cc scooter, don't remember the exact name of it now, that i got for $100. I adjusted the valves and it fired right up. Rode it a summer and sold it for I believe $300.

I've owned several China bikes, They have all been good reliable bikes. The first one I bought is the Hawk 250. It's probably the least refined but has never let me down. As i bought newer bikes, the quality got better each time. The KPX has to be the highest quality China bike i own and the quality is every bit as good as my Vulcan S.
