The Chinese are providing vastly worse performance and reliability. They only succeed in markets that have nothing better to choose from - we don't have that problem. Yet.

The big numbers are a bit of a shock .... but put in perspective the number of little Hondas and Suzukis etc that got sold here in the 60's..... put the domestic and Euro imports into a very small position. As I recall my highschool ... the street had about 50 to 60 bike parked in 67 .... there was 2 BSA's 2 Triumphs 1 Enfield 1 Bultaco and the rest were Yamahas Hondas Suzukis Bridgestones Kawasakis etc. What goes around comes around….

Korea for a year teaching English, and the situation there was largely the same...tons of 125cc bikes powered by either Suzuki or Honda singles. Part of the reason for the ubiquity of the 125cc bikes was because a heavy tariff was placed on anything larger than that. I saw very few larger bikes there. Most of these 125s were used as workhorses, making deliveries ranging from pizza to furniture (nope, not kidding). The bikes got a bit ratty, but they definitely hung on to them as long as they possibly could. When they were new, they were actually not bad bikes! They'd be great starter bikes. I lived in S.
