Default Chinese Bikes Question

Does anyone have any Chinese bike buying experience? I'm looking to buy a supermoto to mess about with and I can't really find any chinese direct website I can purchase from. If you own one or have any experience buying I can really use your help.

We've had the Chinese and Korean bikes out here for a number of years now -
short answer - you get what you pay for - they rust easily, and don't like to be ridden at all hard or they fail. They have improved a bit in the past two years, but they're still soft.
I wouldn't buy one....

Try and get parts for one! We get calls for parts for these machines and it seems like there is little or no backup from the dealer or the factory. Better off buying a used KTM or even a DRZ400.
