I used to semi-like his vids.
If what he says is true about Venom demanding certain content and nothing negative, that's seriously blowing it on their part, and got the reviewer on a bad foot, before the bike even showed up.
That said, it's obvious by his overall attitude he was going to be shellacking the bike and even making huge deals out of even the smallest things.
He's once again missing the entire China Bike appeal. A reliable ride for less than half the price.
One of the things that crossed my mind while watching the vid is that out of all the CB's I've had, I've not experienced anything like what he's complaining about, though I do thorough PDI's upon assembly, like checking the chain tension and rear wheel alignment.
Maybe that's the problem? These reviewers are used to bikes that are thoroughly prepped and fine-tooth combed by the factory/dealer?

So what you saying is he's not a mechanic and shouldn't own a china bike. lol

I'm still waiting for my 2016 Hawk to just fall apart. lol My best bike so far is the KPX250. I didn't had to mod anything. Just change oil and put gas in it. The bike has performed every bit as good as my Vulcans S. Hell even on my Vulcan S I had to tighten up bolts the the dealer had missed.

knowing what we know about Chinabikes nowadays, this dude kind of made a fool out of himself here. I made sure to let him know.

Yes, and if you read through the comments we weren't the only ones that expressed our opinion. lol

Yeh after seeing this post, I went back and realized maybe I was a bit mean in one of my comments. I have since corrected the situation (said in the voice of Grady from The Shining).
