Best chinabike for dualsporting, or japen dualsport

[silverman1]

I have been following, these forums for a while and am not sure what to think. On the one hand my money is limited, but on the other hand if i am better off finding a used big 4 dualsport, it might equal itself out. The Lifan gy5 seems reasonable, but will it last, or blow its cookies and 2000 miles or less. Im sure someday chinabikes will be just as good as the japanese bikes, I just don't want to ultimately end up with the same amount invested in keeping the china bike running.

Please tell me about your experiences with different epa approved china bikes


thanks
