Things I (we) dislike most about Chinese motorcycle

Ok, this is random, but was looking at some magicians and bashans and hawks, etc, and still thinking about the Chinese bike. I’ve only owned an older Rocketa Shineray. BUT having said that, the very first thing I absolutely detest about the Chinese bikes is:

the rear swingarm.

Every one of them has the weakest cheesy looking swingarm in the world. I almost think that sales of these bikes would actually increase substantially if a modern aluminum and/or somewhat better looking steel swingarm was attached to the bike.

Second thing I don’t like is:

the very ‘ Power Ranger’ looking plastics.

I don’t know who is or isn’t designing these bikes, but I really don’t like the looks of most of them. A little more money spent on aesthetics would also make sales go up I think?

Anyway, what else does anyone think about these two items and/or have any ‘in general’ dislikes of these bikes? Like, what would put the general public off on buying one? Disregarding the whole stereotype of Chinese bikes because sooner or later that will slowly fade if some of the other things are overcome.
