That's fine. Don't buy one. Problem solved. You are welcome!
that is not a problem, its a sentiment. me not buying one solves nothing. and you asked this:

So, I think this is good news for USA fans of scooters and small motorcycles, right? Am I wrong (again)? What do you all say?
i say you are wrong, and quite possibly "again" depending on what you were wrong about the first time.
what is good about a BUNCH of small, underpowered, somewhat poorly made motorcycles coming to our shores? we have plenty of good small motorcycles already here, such as the Wolf Classic, GROM, and TU250. who gets "passionate" about low spec, cheaply made motorcycles that at least appear similar to what is bought and sold from china on crappy drop ship websites?
if i can buy a brand new Honda 300cc motorcycle for $4,000, a new SYM 150 Wolf Classic for $3,000, and new Hyosung KTM knockoff for similar, much less all the good scooters out there, what the hell does any rider want with this....and yes i will go there....junk!
as
motorcycles go, yes, you are wrong about it being "good news." the good news is already here, and has been for awhile.
of course as with most junk, however, their will be cheap minded buyers. let's call 'em frugal. so price is of the essence. brand new, if i were a sucker, i'd pay $2,000 for one of these rickety road roaches. but hopefully not many are suckers and will just opt for a used Ninja 250, or something? i mean, seriously, now
Hero's big, American endorsement deal went to this guy. i gotta question the wisdom of any motorcycle company that thinks this will sell motorcycles
yes, nothing screams motorcycle excitement like golf. they go hand in hand!
Hero Motorcycles, more lipstick on a pig
and you asked!
