Oh one more thing, then I'll shut up :lmao: He said he was gonna PDI the bike, test rides it, then his only complaint was a dragging caliper and the chain was too tight? Yet, ANOTHER reason I like getting bikes in a crate delivered to my house. Because surely there is some JACK WAGON like Yammie Noob working at the dealer who is supposedly the "trained expert" doing the PDI on my bike. When in reality, do people REALLY think dealers are putting their top accredited Tech's uncrating and assembling bikes all day? I'm willing to bet its some poor schmuck paid 10 bucks an hour.

I totally agree with Herbie regarding the chip on his shoulder in the review vid. Admittedly, I didn't watch the second video because after the first one, I'd seen enough and knew what his mindset was.
Again, if it's TRUE that Venom sent Yammie Noob a list of demands, in advance, for his review video, then shame on them. I'd be infuriated and have a bad attitude also. I'd like to hear from Venom on this here, as I've always read here about how good of a dealer they were. It seems them and CSC boil to the top, for sure. Regarding Yammie Noob....I mean, come on. You don't even check the chain tension before heading out? Really? These bikes were tossed together and crated. Granted, we as China Riders fine tooth comb every bike we get. I've done the same to ALL bikes I've bought, especially new bikes. Lord knows I've found enough issues on new stuff from Japanese dealers. As I've stated in another thread, my Royal Enfield was the only bike I've ever bought that was perfectly setup and didn't need one adjustment, other than control preferences. Bottom line is, if a new buyer doesn't know to check chain tension, real wheel alignment, or cable adjustments, you best not buy a China bike. If you want to ride something off the dealer lot, and your idea of maintenance is bringing it back in and complaining, then by all means, spend the thousands more. |

One fun thing to do if you meet a China basher in person is ask them about their phone. It has yet to fail me that they have an overpriced Iphone they paid a pile of money for. At which point you whip out: "Nice! I wonder where THAT was made?"
You can often pull the same about their big screen TV they are so proud of but not always. Dog Chinese stuff all they want, if we pulled it all off the market the shelves at Wal Mart would be about bare. Chinese stuff is a large part of our lives, always thought it was kind of funny to draw the line arbitrarily at motorcycles. I don't have time for such people. |
The Chinese car market has dedicated original domestically designed and produced cars.
But in addition, there are German-Chinese ventures and even US-China production agreements (Ford/Lincoln, in particular) Here are some examples (We will NEVER see these cars imported to USA! BMW X1 – marketed as the Brilliance 1E VW Polo (Jetta on smaller VW Polo platform) Jetta LWB (long wheel based) is a standard Jetta VW is BIG in China Audi A4 and A7, A8 sportback. These models have slightly different styling MB A-class LWB (again with the long wheel based version). Cherokee (Yup, a Jeep) discontinued, got a face lift and continued with Mitsubishi or MB engine Ford Taurus/Mondeo Ford Territory (Australian model, an SUV/CUV) Lincoln Zephyr, built with a CHinese specific built Ford engine (Changan-Ford) And of course there are the blatant copy cars (CG clones!?): Land Wing (Evoque) Dongfeng Hanma (Hummer) looks like the original with tire pressure legs! Geely GE (Rolls Phantom) Suzhou Eagle Carrie - Porsche 718 Cayman Dadi Shuttle - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Victory S10 - Cadillac Escalade |
I have 4 Chinese motos and 1 Russian one and all are doing just fine. I have owned many Japanese motos and one American one and they did fine too.
When someone makes fun of my motos I ask them about their cell phone and their TV and just about everything they have bought recently. lol |
If Venom provided a bike for review with a list of conditions, then its no longer a review.
If you confident in a product then give the reviewer free reign... Secondly don't give review samples to egotistical influencers with click bait material. I can't say I'm surprised with the outcome. If you are confident in a product then find a decent reviewer perhaps Yamies ex producer Spite's Corner would have been the smarter choice. |
The great thing is everything is made in China or at least has Chinese parts. Farmers in my area grow soy and it gets shipped to China for electronics. It is the way of the world. Honestly my first bike I seriously rode was a csc sg250, then I bought a kpm200 from venom. Both bikes taught me how to work on motorcycles, how to break motorcycles and how to fix them. I have an affinity for small displacement “China” bikes now.

Yeah but Venom approached Yammie in the first place, Correct? Unless Yammie approached Venom initially, which would transpire events in a completely alternative way. From what I can tell Venom wanted exposure/clout without doing a background check. When you offer pie to someone makes sure they aren't likely to throw it back into your face. |

My guess would be Yammie approached Venom expecting to get a bike and paid sponsorship. I'm sure Venom gets tons of request from You Tubers for free bikes daily so there is no reason for them to approach Yammie. As far as a Contract, I'm sure Venoms legal department requires one as I'm willing to bet Venom has probably sent out bikes in the past and the You Tuber just took the bike and gave nothing back. It would be good to hear from someone with Venom on what really happened.

New video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hMN...nel=YammieNoob This is the reason why it's a mistake to call 250 a 230. He is doing it just to trash the brand, but if you call it 250 and it's 230. Then you compare it to an actual 250, it's going to lose everywhere. Then if he got a max speed of 57 mph, then he got a bad engine or he was just not pushing it... |
