Question: For someone starting up requiring a commuter for town etc, would paying R10k for a new Chinese 125 be a bad thing?

Reasoning here:
- What can a person buy for R10k that is decent from a decent brandhouse, something that doesn't require repairing fixing etc?
- Sure we all know the qualiuty of the chinese bikes is not the best, but even if it lasts you 3-4 years who cares you could probably buy another at the end of that and have had new bikes all along as opposed to an older not new branded bike.

What options does one have buying sub R15k......?
