Jap bikes in the early 70's had cheap metals used for bolts, castings etc.. they could easily thread. The fuel tanks rotted badly. Todays standard of build quality is much higher. My comparisons were based on the first chinese bikes and some of the chinese bikes being built now. They are still miles behind jap bikes, but they are improving..
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
