Why the CHEAP Chinese scooter & motorcycles lately?
« on: November 13, 2017, 12:53:22 PM »
Back in the day, TPIR used to only offer the quality Japanese made motorcycle cycles and scooters like honda and yamaha. I've noticed they no longer do this. They now offer the cheap chinese crap that you wouldn't sell to your worst enemy.

Why have they cheaped out like this?  :-?

Simple. If you can get a bike that looks nice and half the cost so you can save budget and have things like dream car week etc, wouldn't you?

Yeah, what Alfonzo said. I thought about it but I don't know enough about the subject to chime in. Scooters aren't my thing.

My best advice is to try and make better first posts with more to comment to and provoke discussion. Also, maybe you should have tried the simple questions and answers thread that's stickied on this forum? The people who read that may be more equipped to answer this question. I'm not saying it's your fault or anything that you didn't get an answer, but the better you forge the question, the more likely an answer is.

I was gonna answer something like, They're getting better in quality and their better for the budget, but that didn't seem like enough to post about.

...for the same reason they offered Ashley furniture for years and years. Looks like a nice prize, but not as nice as it could be.

The kind where you don't post anymore if I see something like this out of you again.

haha after reading just a little bit of the posts from the mods here, I'm totally fine with you banning me. This is a site with mods who think they're above the rest and post snarky responses like the ones you post. Your "mod power" has gone to your fat head. What kind of "power" could you possibly get from being a mod on a website anyway?

Get a life big steve-o

bye bye

You felt the need to point out that nobody responded to your first post.  You can't be that fine with it.

I can keep everyone else from having to put up with you.  That's good enough for me.

Oh, and LOCKED.
