at the price they mention, it won't go anywhere. People are willing to take a chance on Chinese stuff if it's a super deal. 28,000 isn't enough of a break from the Honda to offset the lack of dealer network and unknown quality.

Never been interested in a "couch on wheels" when it comes to motorcycles, and I don't think that will ever change. I'll take a Kawasaki Vulcan all day over this Chinese abomination...and the Goldwing.
