I agree completely.
I love that air cooled, NX400 engine, and I would gladly pay $3,000 for the Shineray X5. However, look at the prices the Chinese importers are asking for a carbureted, 250cc motorcycle! 8O Is it any wonder the market for Chinese motorcycles has plummeted? :roll:
For a few years, Honda lost ground to the Chinese in the world marketplace for motorcycles. However, the Chinese "have awakened a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve."
Honda is playing for keeps, and I don't think Honda will lose. :roll:
