For less than £3000 for a new bike with a 2 year warranty doesnt seem bad.

Cheap and not very cheerful?
GN2 already a pain in my arse with another brand! GN2 what do you REALLY know about Keeway?
The Cruiser 250 was originally named the 'Landcruiser' until Toyota made a claim to the name! From then on it became the Cruiser
Moore Large in Derby, the original importer for SYM brought them in to the UK and the bike having a 'copy' Yamaha V-twin with single carburettor never really sold - at the time the 250 market was not a popular segment
2008, MotoGB took over importership and dropped the model due to lack of interest, a shame really because the engine and transmission was/is bulletproof, far more reliable than the parallel twins of the same capacity
In 2010 the Cruiser gained Delphi electronic fuel injection so it would meet future emissions and E3-4 homologation
2014 MotoGB decide due to increased interest in the 250cc market segment to re-introduce the Cruiser, just 'dipping toe in water' and a big brother to the best selling 125cc Keeway Superlight (which is MotoGB's best selling 125cc geared bike!!!)
My view on the bike would be obviously biased, but I can say that it is a full two year parts and labour warranty, UK parts supply is better than good, secondary parts supply is taken from Keeway Hungary (EU HUB) and bulk stock from China.
Keeway is a brand manufactured by the massive QJ Group (Qianjiang) who also now own Benelli and their new 600cc 4 cylinder BN600 is launched in the UK this month
Have a look at the following

There is a better narrated English version that I actually wrote the script for... I cannot find it on Youtube - it was done a good few years ago!
Other than that......
Take a good look at Sinnis, directors are Yingde Peng and Daqi Fan and are involved in a double glazing business, total nett worth of Sinnis in 2013 year end accounts was -£785
The Scooterwarehouse or Ladydell Importers Ltd have a nett worth of -£9130 AND a credit warning of 'maximum risk'
A warranty is only as good as the issuing company.....
