So when is China going to offer Villopoto, Dungey and Reed a contract they cannot refuse to market their wares and gain R&D like the Japs did, ( even before they were marketing MX bikes.)

It won't happen. They are interested in only one thing. Finding work for 2 billion people.

Hmmm... I think the subject of Chinese copies/marketing and their impact on motorcycling plus discussion about the quality/value for money is fine and relevant, but some of the racial stuff is sailing a bit close to the wind. let's ease back on that stuff and focus on the actual facts. First warning fellas.

I remember saying the same thing about a Korean brand that I had to work with when they brought their new products to Alice Springs to test many years ago.
Time has proven me wrong about them and I honestly think that the Chinese product will continue to improve and become and real alternative.
Maybe us old farts will still chose to ignore them, (me included) but I think the younger generation will be more accepting than we are just as we were more accepting of the Japanese product than the 'old farts' in our day.  ;D

Foxico's are like fat chicks. Fun to ride until one of your friends catches you on them.

No thanks on buying a Chinese bike, they're crap.

Maybe so, but you keep coming back ;)
As long as there is a market for their products they will continue to pump them out like it or not.

Not real sure what it's a copy of..... sure it has ktm plastics and swingarm, everything else seems to be original stuff, I've never seen a motor or chassis like that before.
When ATK used Yamaha and KTM plastics where they labeled rip off's ?
When Maico used Suzuki plastics where they labeled rip off's ?
