I believe this bike is loosely based on a Suzuli GN250 and a lot of the parts (engine wise) are interchangeable, if you look at some of the images it's a bit of a street scrambler with 21hp.
For a year old bike that's less than £1500 I thought it might be worth a punt, but not a lot to go on re feedback on reliability / longevity. Can't find much for sale for this kind of wonga that will be cheap to run / fix and will be a bit of a hoot around the lanes.
You could try a Serow. Pick up a 20 year old one for similar money to a 12 month old Sinnis but possibly last longer.
The Serrow is a nice bike, I rode one a few yeas ago, nice and light and a lot of fun.
Plus I don't intend to scour the whole country, it needs to be fairly local (Kent / Sussex / Surrey) so I can at least go and see it.
I'm not convinced that the anti-Chinese sentiment is valid.
We're looking at Chinese bikes at the moment, possibly for Mrs Zero and also for Sub Zero.
From what I'm reading and what tauzero has posted the Chinese bikes seem to have come on in leaps and bounds over the last few years, unfortunately it's difficult to find any actual owners who have first hand experience.
Certainly for the price point these bikes do offer a lot, I think if you look after them and do some maintenance and servicing they'll last, I don't expect a good return as I'm sure they will devalue quite a bit, but with a low starting price that's not going to be any worse than a more expensive bike.
For what I have seen from a few YouTube’s I watch, they are perfectly good reliable machines now. Give them a little TLC and they will last years. Most big manufacturers bikes a made there now anyway.
spicy110 is one to look at on YouTube.
The Chinese are more than capable of building anything to the same quality as any other nation. Problem they have is building bikes down to a price that are affordable by the poor people of the their country to get to work.
When those vastly cheaper machines get imported into the modern world & compared to bikes produced in Japan they don't stack up too well. Unfortunately all Chinese bikes get tarred with the same brush even though some may be of a higher standard.
BMW have some of their engines assembled in China. Any bad reviews on them?
Each brand will produce at different rates so going for one that is producing a lot will be a safer bet.
I have brought a couple of mobiles from Chinese manufactures who make more phones than Apple.
Apple's phones are made in China.
