Well i got into an interesting arguement with a workmate today over the pro's and con's of both.
Seems that to make a jap mini into a bike an adult can ride you need aftermarket parts.(correct?)
Well we done some research and it seems that all aftermarket parts for jap minis come out of USA or Canada
So really your Jap bike(usually you are left only with the motor) becomes a Yankee bike
IE
Sano USA
Five-O USA
T3 Minis USA
Two brothers Racing(TBR) USA
I-shock USA
Red Baron USA
BBR USA
Elka Canada
Fast 50s USA
Is only Takegawa and Kitaco that is Japan made.
So really the jap vs china arguement is not valid unless the jap is stock.
Quality really comes down to aftermarket parts(and we all know how great harley davidsons are, Americas only true bike manufacturer,other then Polaris or Victory)
