I really don't understand the controversial aspects of this. As far as I can see it's all about forms of payment. If you purchase a Japanese scooter will it cost more? yes, will parts cost more? Probably. If you buy a Chinese scoot will it cost less? yes, but you will make additional "payment" in time and parts making it reliable, and for people with more mechanical ability than ready cash it will work out in their favor, for others with the financial resources but little time or mechanical inclination, a brand name bike with a long warranty behind it does the trick. Just as long as you're happy and zooming down the road. (preferably with a broad ear-to-ear grin!)
