What brands of Chinese scooters are not junk? By oldschoot (Read 11,135 times)

Oh wow! The Morphous has left the driveway. Or is the trailer out of the frame? I can ride my 50cc the three miles into town for coffee too, or is the convenience store next door?
UHHHHH, age jokes. You do know that around your age I took a 3600 mile ride in a week on a motorcycle? Yup, 500 to 600+ miles a day. Hence the name KZ1000ST. The only way you'll see me trailer a bike is with a "For Sale" sign on it.

Loved the comment about Amerivespa. "I couldn't stay long. I had to ride my Morphous BACK around the corner to my trailer."

Try the "Chinese Scooters Stink" on "It Is The Slide". Jack will ban you in a heartbeat.

Oh, BTW. I can tell when I'm kicking someone's butt in an argument. Throwing irrelevant insults is a sure sign. Try to stay on topic. So how many miles did the Morph have when you bought it? 24,500?

LOL... Luke you should really carry a bunch of little baggies around with you as it seems your not ready for conversations here. Your potty mouth about the Chino brands in a scooter forum should be cleaned by Dove and that silly toy that runs on gas you posted the other day. Maybe you need to go to the Slide... Here we Ride...

I want to clear the air before this gets too acrimonious. We all joke about the shortcomings of Chinese scooters. They do some strange things at times, but for the money you can't beat them. IF, you do your homework and weed out the crummy ones before you buy (like SunL). The ones left do as much as you can expect from something one-third the cost of a Japanese equivalent. Used correctly, that will be a long, happy time.

Here's the catch. Years ago Japanese motorcycles were a bargain. You could buy a rocket for a song. BUT. That didn't make the parts or service cheaper. Want an example? John's Majesty for starters. If John had the dealer fix his compression problem @ $80 an hour-shop rate, his bill would be in excess of $1000. Probably well in excess. Do you know how many Japanese bikes went to the scrap yard because repairs cost more than Blue Book? Thousands. It's why Harley riders called them disposable. People bought new ones rather than repairing them. If your Morph suddenly develops an engine problem it will join the scrappers. Labor and parts will be more than a used Reflex. The cam for a Yamaha 250 Exciter costs $295, the cam for a CN-250 Helix clone is $45.

I would like to see what the world record is for miles in one day for a morph! And not on a trailer either. I am sure a few 50cc mopeds have exceeded the morph in total miles in a day.. Same deal for those jap custom lowered things some one posts pictures of every now and then too They may look nice but not practical for normal use. Good designs seem to stay in production for years and years. After the run with honda then came the helix clone, and the reflex clone, and the chinese clones using both yamaha and honda motor designs in the 250 class. Wont see a morph clone though. Majesty has had a long run too but I feel it is a bad design along with bad parts support. Had I not been capable of a top end overhaul it would have been scrapped and it came close believe me. And then there are the gy6's probably ten thousand of them for every morph made and they keep coming. If a product isn't any good it just will not sell.

That blog says it all:

july5th waiting for a cvt belt.
today july 14th got the belt on. At least 8 days just like I have said to get yamaha parts......next day on chinese parts if you pay the extra shipping.

Really? Tired from a mere 208 miles? I can ride my Fashion 200 miles and then go out and ride a bicycle afterwards. Too bad the Morph is so uncomfortable it wears you out. Or did you trailer it 208 miles?

First thing was to get the Morphous ready for her epic journey. Let's just call her Morphie. Before I knew I was taking Morphie to San Diego, I changed the rear tire, oil, air filters and cleaned transmission filter. When I knew I was taking her on the trip, I installed a backrest, taller windshield, electric ports, and Ram Mount phone holder.


First, you didn't write this someone else did. Second, Backrest and taller windscreen? You mean it doesn't come with it? The Helix has a nice tall windscreen and a stepped saddle. No wonder you had to trailer yours since it's so inadequate.

Here's what you need when you come to your senses:

A better engine, seat and windscreen.

Also you still haven't answered Jim yet. He has a few questions for you.

And tell Jack I said "Hi".

Luke,
JR isn't creditable/ especially here. Banned using his name and a host of fake names.

I just found out he is trashing me for telling the truth about pictures I tried to delete and couldn't from his forum. In fact I was banned before I could even find out where they were hosted. First time ever that I been banned yet he has been banned on scooter forums at least 2 dozen times that I know of. I can't even respond to the garbage on his forum just because I wanted to remove my material.

If my stuff is no longer there it is because he removed them after I made it known about they being hosted some where other than my account at photobucket.

I figured you find some kind of a lame A$$ excuse not to answer my questions. Just shows that you are so full of hot air, hiding behind someone elses comments or arguments. I have already drawn my conclusions about you and I am sure many others have also.

Dang, you shouldn't talk about yourself like that, then again we already knew that about you.
