Coming up on 13,000 miles of all weather use and still scrubs up quite nicely.

Its this, my Hongdou GY200.

I bought it as off eBay brand new for £700 as a winter hack last year.
It did take the brunt of the crap weather although the SV still had plenty of use over the winter too.

I've changed the gearing on the Hongdou so its better on the road and put some better tires on it (Avon Distanzias) but I still don't have a lot of love for it.

For £700 its brilliant but 99% of the time I'd rather ride my SV.
