So this is how I see the would today!
I bought my bike in November last year and since January this year, I have ridden it four days a week two hours a day, at full RPM. It sleeps out side in the wind and the rain and starts every morning at 6am in the middle of winter. I can say that all I do is change the oil every 3 - 4 weeks and have to refuel it every day (5.5lt). One of my friends bought a new Suzuki SV1000 for NZ$12,500 and by the time my bike had payed for itself (NZ$2,340) by saving me the cost of running my SUV 130Km a day, by May this year he had already lost $3000 of the resale of his bike. My bike may be Chinese but I have never ridden anything this hard for so long and had it still be the same as the day I bought it, just better when it was run in. The only time it has left me standing on the side of the road was when I had put 194km on the clock and ran out of fuel. I did that again the next day too, never again after that.
I have done a few mods to my bike but then I feel that the bike is cheap enough to have a bit of a fiddle. When I want to really thrash something, I jump on my 94 YZ250 which has been tweaked to be like a light switch and cane it! But on Monday morning, it's back on the trusty Shineray and off I go @ 100km/h and hour each way on the motorway.
