That's a nice looking machine! Although, like others, I kinda think it's a little bit overpriced.

***BUT***

More competition is always a good thing! To my mode of thinkng more competition means, we get better bikes, and better bikes get more economical... I think.

I suppose we're all into these bikes for different reasons. But my reason is simple: CHEAP! I'd take the 3 bikes instead of just 1. Honestly price is the only attraction that ever got me into china-bikes or these forums. I like competition too, but I don't understand how any of these companies get off the ground with starting prices like that. How about $1,000? That'd get my attention. Anyway, I guess perhaps there's a group of people out there with more money to risk than me.

While our china bikes are NOW very good they were far from "hop on and ride".
We HAD to do so much to them that you would never expect to have to do to a NEW machine to get them where they are now as far as reliability and performance.

The money saved didnt compensate for the time lost wrenching and right-engineering them

.

I'll be watching the offerings from companies other than the big name brands but will be very leary of plunking down any cash on a NEW, unproven machine from a who-knows-where company.

I am pleased to see more products though it shows there is still an interest for manufacturerer's to sell products here and I expect it to get much better as the global economy stabilizes and rebounds.

I think we will see better products too. Someone will buy one of those bikes and tell about it.
