Being around a while as a China Rider, I don't' see it as an "either/or" situation, regarding this site or CSC.
This site was put together not just as a community of like minded (super cheap) folks, but also because for many years, we had to scavenge around like carpet beetles for sometimes up to months, to find any parts or support, whatsoever. Many times, unless you could be so lucky as to run across a basket case Lifan or something on Craig's List for parts, you were hosed for a while. Now, with CSC around who actually answers the phone and has a treasure stove of available parts for all Hondoids (TT250's, Hawks, Storms, Enforcers, etc...), along with good folks like mjstef who supply us with a great cluster and support, It's a great time to be a China Rider! :-) Let's face it though....the TT250 is like a Lexus to a Toyota, when compared to the Hawk (or the like). It's got the LED's, fancy stainless fasteners, 300 watt stator, etc..etc...but that definitely comes at a price. That said, if I wasn't living here in CA and had other legal options, I'd probably have the Toyota in my garage. The Hawk (or it's like bikes) is very hard to beat for 1200.00. You receive a hell of a unit for the $$$.
