Thoughts on the Hanway Scrambler?
>>28672861it's certainly a motorbike
>ChineseThe consensus seems to be only buy either lifan or CFmoto. I think Lifan has a model similar to this.
>>28672868Lifan is great. I have this Lifan Xpect 200 I got for $1800 brand new I just did 600 miles on it round trip. Took a long ass fucking time because it only does 65-70, sometimes only 60 in conditions like an incline, sometimes even only 55 if there's an incline and a strong wind in your face but it did the job. I have 8k miles now and the rear tire is still good which I expected the chink rubber to need replacing after like 500 miles, it's basically an XR200 with fuel injection.
>>28672878Well it didn't really take a long ass time I just took take state and backroads so it added like 1 hour of travel time compared to taking the highway. It might be able to take highways if theres multiple lanes and you can stay in the empty ones.
>>28672878>>28672881sounds like you got ripped off
>>28672905why?
>>28672908cos you can get a bike that does all that plus goes fast enough for safe highway riding plus isn't chinkshit for the same pricenot sure where you're located, i just picked NY and found this in a minutehttps://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/mcy/d/croton-on-hudson-2001-yamaha-star/7888110729.html
>>28672911>NYI guarentee it is stolen.
>>28672911>shit boomer cruiser from 25 years ago that will need thousands more in getting it ridable I guess every fucking bike is a ripoff considering an XR150L costs about 4k new after dealer fees probably more, 3.3k with no added fees when you can just get some corroded ass harley wannabe from 30 years ago.
>>28672911You literally posted a jap clone of a Harley while I posted about a chink clone of a Honda XR. Boomers which are probably your age group hated on jap bikes like that when they were new to the market too, retard. I guess your dementia is too severe for you to remember. That would've been called a rice burner and laughed at by boomer harley riders.
Really don't buy it unless it's being offered to you for next to free. You look like you're British and buying your first 125. The Japanese make plenty good 125s. If you have to resort to this bike, you simply can't afford this hobby
>>28672943 Japanese bikes were also hated on decades ago too, retard, and most American boomers STILL think they're shit, go ask them, they'll call your Jap bike a shitty riceburner. And now people say this about Chinese bikes. They've been making this bike for 15+ years and Hanway is an actual company with a warranty it's not the same as just buying some nameless chink "TaoBear 250" on Temu.>>28672861Bike will probably be fine, compared to other 125ccs. The Chinese make plenty good small displacement bikes, this is some air cooled single cylinder 2 valve Honda clone engine, the Chinese have been cloning these since the 70s and they're very reliable and respected in GoKarts, UTVs, minibikes, but hated on by out of touch retards when they're used in motorcycles. I probably wouldn't get a CFMOTO since they have way more complex bikes that haven't really been proven yet but there's not much things to break in a bike like this.
>>28672997>Jap bikes were shit too once!!Hate this boomer myth. The Japs took over the global motorcycle industry by creating original, dependable bikes for a tidy price. Every china bike I've ever seen uses a blatant copy of a Japanese engine. A 1:1 geometry copy. I've never seen them do anything original. This raises awkward questions about their own design capability. Do they even know how to solve design defects?So how are they built cheaper? They compromise on materials. These things genuinely fall apart and corrode into oblivion. Every bolt goes snap, strip and round the moment you so much as look at it.If china was really capable of building anything half decent why has their country been wallowing around for almost all of modern history?
>chinesenobuy a jeet bike if you must, Royal Enfield at least hired the British to design them (actual designs, not blatant IP theft)i wouldn't trust a chinese motor to stay in one piece when I can buy used bikes from any other country
>>28674075>why do they cost less moneyBecause nobody will buy them if they cost the same as Japanese bikes which are the same shit because of ignorant retards like you. Which is a good thing I like being able to get a brand new bike same quality as a Honda for like 30% of the price so thanks.>Jap bikes were shit tooNever said that. They were never shit but retards like you didn't trust the Asians to make good stuff and now you've accepted the Japanese, probably because you're a tranime hentai fag but not the Chinese. You've never even tried a Chinese bike. I've ridden more than you on many different brands. You're just repeating what the other anime fags say. You're a virgin btw lol
>>28674101>Chinese motorThe Chinese engines these bikes are well known for being reliable. OP none of these retards know what they're talking about. The complaints people have about Chinese bikes are stuff like the carbs and quality control. The actual engines are pretty good and everyone familiar with them knows this. So this retard doesn't even know which lie to use.>jeet bikeYou're also an edgefag just throwing in random insults to show how ebin you are. Cringe.
Are you rage baiting? What's the point of asking people just to shit on them with newly found concrete convictions?
>>28672861Stay away from chink bikes.
>>28674113That anon is right. RE bikes are tight. Chink and shitalian bikes are not. Check this oil test in a lab by fortnine. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9GAUo8eUXeU&pp=ygURZm9ydG5pdGUgb2lsIHRlc3Q%3D
>>28675063>>28674113>>28674102i like how the guy defending chink bikes provides actual technical details about the bikes and experience while the weeaboo faggots just repeat shit they read off reddit with clearly no real knowledge.
>>28674113>The complaints people have about Chinese bikes are stuff like the carbs and quality control.I also hear things about metalurgy not being what it should be? No clue how much it matters, though. I agree with you, however. A lot of the time when their chinese engine "breaks" it is just valves that need adjusting too
>>28675068Refute this: >>28675067
>>28675123NTA but I had a couple of chinese scoots and a kymco, both use nearly the same engine, both have only a magnet mesh screen for a "filter". The amount of wear collected on the magnet was about the same. Thats all I can add.
>>28675182Magnet and a mesh screen*
>>28675183Still not buying, but cfmoto is becoming a real brand, so is loncin, Kove and Voge.
>>28675191Who is telling you to buy it?
>>28675198Jewish beings inna walls.
>>28672921welcome to 2025, its a buyers market. >>28672923>huh well i guess that means EVERY brand new vehicle from a dealer is a rip offnow you’re getting it. If you can afford $4k, your options on the used market expand considerably, you can get a really great bike. >>28672931>y-y-you’d make fun of me if i bought that bike!!you shouldnt care what other people think of your bike, but if you do, you are definitely much better off with a 25 yr old metric croozer rather than a brand new ling ping ching chong copy of a honda dirt bike, especially for touring. Not that there’s anything wrong with the XR150.
