Anyway the post was about the BMW look alike Fazer not some Chinese copy of something else, because Simon that is all the Chinese do is COPY and us poor quality materails, how cold does it get in Vietnam/Thailand, bet there is not a lot of salt on the roads out there.

Most parts of the motorcycle you'll be riding in 10 years time will be made in China, so i guess you'll have to get used to it.
Can't say I like any of em. Think I'll join Christo in the 80s/90s corner
