Lexmoto sold 5,562 chinese bikes in 2012,which was 6% of the uk market,Honda,Yamaha and Trriumph only sold more.WK had a 600cc in the TT this year and it seems most of the big retailers are now selling chinese bikes.

They are definitely getting better! Quality has improved massively in the last few years on SOME brands. Worth a look if on a tight budget or just want something different.

Not a Chinese copy, a brand new Honda for under £500, sound too good to be true...?

When the Indian built KTM Duke 200 was first launched last year it was £3995 here but it was reported the exact same, built and sold in India was only £1350!

We must stop giving overseas aid to India........

No its not that, there's already a new version Lead.
I doubt we'll see it here though, there are already enough small scooters in the range.
