I don't regret buying it, but the quality doesn't appear to be any better than the others. I put the replacement tail light on last week, I've ridden it twice since then and the LEDs are starting to burn out. I'm going to ride it about 60 miles tomorrow morning, but not without reinstalling the tail light I bought from amazon. The instrument panel is also giving me some issues, but it's to be expected. Buying a new Chinese bike is like buying an old British bike. I'm expecting to find the Lucas logo on the wiring harness

Really loving how it rides with the 16T sprocket!
The coil provides higher voltage to the spark plug and the CDI eliminates the rev limiter. The stock CDI on my bike had a 6500rpm limit. With the racing CDI I can wind the engine up to 9000rpms, or until it flies apart. Of course now that I put the 17t sprocket on it, I won't need to go beyond 8000rpms when I'm riding the back roads, which was my main reason for buying the bike.
