Tbh most chinese bikes are okay at this, usual point of failure is just weak plastics that are exposed to vibrations. As long as you're not crazy with them they can last a pretty long time especially considering this does actually have an old cbr 250 engine in it, that said for this budget you could probably get more bike for this same money, not like you're missing out of tech by virtue of chinese being a newer build as it has none.

@@ChristopherJones16 I’d love to get one of their 300 clones just for the frame and parts so I could swap an EX250F inside for the EX250L look and a ton of modern replica parts. I imagine that this kind of thing happens when they make enough replica parts that you could almost build a whole bike with them… so someone fills in the gaps and does exactly that. The frame looks like a clone but the brakes obviously aren’t. Headlight, fairings, footrests, pedals, handlebars, windscreen, and more are straight-up sold as parts for the EX300 and EX250L (250 version of the EX300 for Japan and SE Asia). I believe the swingarm is an off the shelf part (“UniTrak”).
