New BMW

[Simon.Pieman]

I rather like the look of this Minsk 250 (actually a re-badged Zongshen)

You can wrap a turd in pretty paper and ribbons, but underneath its still a turd

I've seen this engine in bikes all over SE Asia and it's bombproof mate. I've ridden one (badged a Liffen) 1,500 miles through Vietnam and another badged Zongshen 200cc variant for 2,500 miles around Thailand and into Indonesia. They are not perfect, but are just as reliable as anything else. Don't knock it until you've tried it mate.
