Well just to be different, i had a chinese replica of a cbr 125 with what was in essence a cg 125 engine in it and it was brilliant. The main thing with the chinese bikes is to get it built by someone you trust, me and my dad put mine together so we knew exactly what was tight and what not, the point is they are not great quality but like with all things, a little bit of care and time and it'll last ages. I ended up putting a spare K & N on mine for a little extra grunt.
