If I remember right the dealer price on that scooter was $1100 and
dropped to $950.

Greg;
I have a 2005 Strada RX150 Chrome Edition with 1500 miles now and am
still pretty happy with it. Everything that I have replaced was at my
own option, and the only things that have broken are: the plastic
wraparound cover that goes under the seat by the floorboards (it was
hit with an arrow-long story) and the right brake lever (fell in a
parking lot).
If you do get a chinese bike, pay as LITTLE as you can for it. I have
found people selling scoots like mine for around $700 new. Paul would
probably tell you that the profit margin on these scooters is HUGE.
That is why they do not hold their resale value.
Even if you do buy a brand name, SHOP AROUND. Go to the small dealers
in your area; they have less overhead and are generally a little more
accomodating. I have found some small dealers in my area that sell
suzukis, hondas, yamahas for 10-30% less than the big guys!
