lol...that Bluetooth logo is actually the Bajaj logo...
India has a **** ton of awesome little bikes and now they're getting a lot higher end but till small cc ones.
This YZF-R15 (150cc) looks way better than any sub 200cc bike and would slap the **** outta the CBR125...

This photo is a photoshop....front wheel, forks, rear wheel and swingarm were shopped off of a KTM SUperduke or LC8 SUpermoto.
Ya, nothing says quality like pet food laced with melamine, toothpaste with antifreeze in it and kids toys with lead paint on it.

As I said, they can build to whatever quality you're willing to pay for. Apple is an excellent example of extremely well built products that are made in China.
From what I can see that is the Pulsar 200NS, cranking out a whole 22hp. Perfect poser bike
didn't realize how much horsepower a bike has makes you a poser
The Pulsar is manufactured by Bajaj that owns half of KTM. They make the Duke 125, 200 and the new 390 in India the 200NS is the Bajaj version of the Duke 200.
Bajaj Pulsar NS200
If the company is in a Joint Venture the products are better.
HD is assembling in India and just announced they will be manufacturing a 500cc twin Sportster there, which will likely never be offered in the USA.
The Duke 200 sells for about $2,000 in India and the 390 for about $3,100.00, the 200 has about 25hp and the 390 has 43hp.
BMW signed an agreement with TVS of India to begin making under 500cc bikes.

There are a couple of decent Chinese manufacturers, CFMOTO and Qianjing are making decent bikes.
NK650
BN600

I's sorry but I don't agree with your assessment or your uncles, I owned the Yamaha RX100 which was manufactured & sold by Escorts in India for over 10 years and logged over 100K on the bike including using it for hill climbs, road racing and rallying and never had any issues with it.
The bike was robust and sturdy, handled well and was super reliable.
I have numerous friends who own these (Indian) motorcycles back home and continue to use them as their daily rides, logging thousands of kilometers on them, and no one is complaining about them, there is always the odd lemon produced, especially when you manufacture over 80K a month.

that green BN600 looks good but it looks like Chinese "quality control" got the best of them with that front tire.
NotSureIfSerious.
Most analyst predict the quality out of china will not be to international standards until 2018, they lack quality control and after market support. But they also copy designs with little regard, in some cases they actually licensed the technology and in others its not disclosed.
There are hundreds of manufactures in China they operate out of groups, that often are invested in other industry, the majority of what they manufacturer are 50cc-150cc and copies of Honda CG125’s and GN125 Suzuki’s since motorcycles are banned in most of the large metropolitan areas these are being sold to the rural population, motorcycles in China are considered low class. However they do sell imports in some areas and the licenses cost allot and are in short supply.
They sell HD in china and Duactis’ as well as BMW’s which manufactures its G650 engine their through a venture with a company named Loncin.
Loncin offers up its own rendition of the BMW 650 engine in their LX-9

funny thing about a broken frame,this has happened to the klr line of kawasaki,they sell a drill threw kit for the weld issue,I did mine lol.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.
