I often wonder with these bikes how the owner fairs without a dealer network? Good maybe for the wrench turners out there but how does the average Joe do if it breaks? I'm told CSC will readily send you parts under warranty. I don't think Honda would have made the inroads into the market it did back in the 60's if it had used a non dealership business model. Lastly I am a fan of ancient Chinese art and culture but not of their current geopolitical aspirations or their motorcycles.
