I sell a line of Chinese pit/kids bikes from a distrubutor in TX. They have been pretty solid little bikes but they brought a 250 by a few weeks ago that had an EFI Zongshen engine with a KTM copy frame prior to 23. KYB suspension, Excel wheels and Brembo copy brakes. $5999 is the retail. The fit and finish...
I’m in the lawn mower business. The gas powered push mower is not dead. But it’s on life support. I sell electric now. The few gas powered units left are not well made. Honda was ahead of the curve there. Not sure where Honda is on generators. The new ones coming out of China are very good and 1/4 the...
This is one reason Honda went back to the Dakar. Dakar and MotoGP are a huge deal in SE Asia. India in particular is the world’s largest motorcycle market. Honda’ former partner there Hero is the worlds 2nd largest MC company and does not export. Bajaj ,TVS and Royal Enfield are not far behind
