The Chinese side does not have the quality. But this isn't a car or truck. Parts are pretty cheap, for the most part. So it's pretty much what you can find in your price range. They going to get beat up, and your going to be working on it. My option, don't think it matters much. Other then looking how easy it is to get part for it. I Had a Manco Duce. Very cool machine. But parts on the other hand was tricky to get ahold of. So sold it, before really got started on it. Parts, Parts, Parts.
