Despite sub freezing temperatures I took a MSF beginner class last weekend. Most of the bikes were 125CC Suzuki and 250CC Honda but the riding school had just bought a couple of 200CC Chinese dual-sport bikes to try out and this was their first outing.
Both had body parts fall off, random horn outbursts, impromptu maximum throttle episodes, took half an hour to warm up, half a second to cool down and sounded plain nasty. The instructors said they'd be amazed if they lasted the season.
On the other hand the 125CC Suzuki I was abusing had received over 9000 miles of beatings which must be pretty hard to achieve in an area the size of a football field.
As they say, you get what you pay for.
Cheers,
Graham
p.s. I was rather hoping I wouldn't like motorcycling but unfortunately that didn't happen so now I might be forced to to go ahead and get one.
