Do Not Buy These Cheap Chinese & Indian Motorcycles

I just returned from my home country and encountered a plethora of awesome-looking cheap motorcycles, I'm talking about brand new dual-sports for $950 and bikes that look like the Kawasaki Ninja for $1,600. I was told by my uncle that they SUCK, they last you only 1-2 years and that if you revv them up to just 70% of their RPM's they bust their valves. I was told by my uncle that he onced towed a stalled mootorcycle with his fairly new "Pulsar" indian-made bike and he busted the engine. Busted the engine just towing another small motorcycle? C'mon.....

Here are the line-ups of these cheap bikes from China and India that truly suck lemos;

All of these are horribly feeble and shoddy Indian/Chinese motorcycles in the market down there.... of course you can't buy them in Canada and that's a blessing. My uncle claims that a mechanic told him that one time a UM chinese motorcycle's frame literally broke in half at the dealership when a 210 lbs guy sat on it and bounced on it at the dealer shop floor. He had already given them the money and the dealership offered to weld the frame but he refused asking for his money back or a written lifetime warranty that the welding wouldn't break.
 
you can buy them in canada, you see them periodically on kiiji. dont know where you see them new.

racer 5 first used chinese knockoff bikes then replaced them pretty fast for numerous reasons.
 
The 2nd one looks like the love child of a KTM RC8 + FZ8. The last one looks like the 2013 600RR's retarded brother.
 
It's too bad their quality sucks, they don't look too bad. I like the second one for some reason.
 
Yes Pegassus - Bajaj Pulsar's suck so much. No wonder they only achieve 80,000+ units sold per month.

Clearly focusing on quantity instead of quality. There's the problem.

I'm sure those chinese products at Dollarama also sell more than 80,000 each a month but that doesn't mean they are not shoddy and suck big lemos.
 
There is no issue's with these bikes, they are built to suit there market. Even though I am sure "Uncle" is a reliable source for motorcycle insight and development...
 
The chinese and indians can build to whatever quaility level you can pay for. Local market where wages wont pay for a big 4 branded bike get some of these.
They usually reverse engineer an out of date honda or yamaha engine, or in the case of the Indians buy all the discontinued tooling and jigs and keep building rebranded bikes ( RD350 still sold as Rangut in India).

+1 Cannot compare these to the bikes/quality available in North America, that is just silly.
Entirely different market, and different consumer demands.

Emphasis on low price.
 
I bought my son a Chinese quad when he was 3 and it was a piece of junk, but for $250 new he got a good year out of it and still has it (need new rear axle bearing). it was right for the price and the intention of finding out weather he was gonna ride one or just put it away.
for someone who just wants to get into bikes and doesnt know if its for them, $1600 to try the new bike for a year or two is ok.

there is no comparison over a real bike manufacturer but some people just want new only.

China has an amazing manufacturing industry, they can build to whatever quality the customer is willing to pay for. Obviously, something built to sell for dirt cheap in developing countries isn't going to meet our standard of quality.
 
These would sell quite a bit here. It's not difficult to tell that many of the riders out there don't care for quality and safety...looking the part is always key, as long as they save the bucks.
