I was looking at these, and to be honest they are much of a muchness, all about 10% down on power on the italian or Jap bikes of the same size, but that said, they are very understressed, so should be very reliable,my niece has a 50cc version and after breaking it in, it's good for about 40mph, although it must be said, not the fastest getting there.

Good value, but either sell on quickly or run into the ground.
