Comments: Hey, how about selling your own bikes and not talking about other peoples, ASC Chad? Everybody's criticizing because it's easier than doing something worthwhile.

Comments: good point lcn, but I've seen some crappy bikes with shoddy parts from lots of places, including the ol' U. S. of A. too

Comments: Bondo breaking? Bad machined 5 port???-Nuts!! Grasping??-Yes! That list of your's is well thought up. Well done you! M-Class bikes are sound-just for the record. As for some bikes out of Asia with their old engines in, then fair enough. But there's nothing wrong with having a redone shell sent over, ready for all new parts and engine to be fitted over here.

Comments: no, they are all pretty bad... some may run longer than others, but catastrophic failure is more rampant than not. the pakastani reference was to one certain maroon vespa with a weird studded seat cover that we saw on ebay a long time back.. hideous pakastani rebuild. . . thought that was the end of it, until it showed up at baron von scooter on a trailer... seized.

Comments: Pakastani? I think the plots been lost! Not all bikes out of asia(vietnam usually)are wasters. As long as you do the research, you can end up with a decent bike.

Comments: Not always the case, rous me ol'cigar! The german bike's definitly a bute. Especially the brown pinstripes along the floorboards. The engines that are being put into the so called "bondo" bikes are also less likely to have as many problems as are what are in bikes like yellow pants!!
