Quote: One of the new engineers at work (young kid just out of college). Bought one of those Chinese ones Xingbangchang or somthing. Ordered it online.Was delivered UPS in a cardboard box. He said with shipping it was just over a grand. We are all waiting to see if it falls apart by the end of summer.
The really cheap ones are disposable. Ride 'em for 5000 miles and buy a new one. Parts are interchangeable between brands (and cheap), so if he's got the mechanical skills and doesn't mind tinkering, he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
Advise him to change the fluids soon (oil, brake, etc.). At that price, what they filled with it at the factory is questionable.
