Second best selling bike last year behind the GS
Voge DS900X
- Thread starter Arsey
- Start date
Mmmmm! I wonder why he is selling it so soon.
Because it’s not getting used as he has other bikes. Either that or it’s seized due to cheap Chinese shite materials…..

Looks nicely made that Martin
Exactly. I don’t give a shit how cheap it is in comparison with BMW. If the CCP will make something similar to the boxer will have a look. But I doubt.
I know people who are into Guzzi, HD or Ducati. Not one is turned on by CCP.
It’s a bit like the choice of women, cheap fucky/sucky $5 CCP or high end Euro chick.
Took it out for a spin . Sounds great and pops on up changes
getting fed up with CCP. Ordered frame bungs - never arrived. Ordered lights - not as described and no harness included. Ordered a portable power washer - it worked but wasn't quite a power washer. All good, all refunded but just annoying and getting to the point where paying extra for solid items that fit, are in spec is more rewarding than saving a few bob
Looks very nice and Laser welded
Laser is a game changer and the Chinese are very good at it, this is worthy of a watch and shows you just how good a small laser is and how dangerous they can be.
Come and get ‘em 
He’s a winner
Just wait until he makes a move against Taiwan. Loads of BYD's and other Chinese shit will go up in flames. Warlord must be praying someone will do is Musk Chariot. People are fucking stupid. Not in the market, but watching the Beta testers. My iPhone works. So does my Mac. I see no reason that in 3/4 years they will make a decent product.
Looking around the office today... my jacket IS made in Scotland and boots made in Italy. The rest of the stuff made in China or Korea.
Can you imagine the crisis in the world markets if the Chinese stopped exporting stuff, even for a month or two? The west couldn't impose sanctions on China in the way it has done Russia
Another deal at Bill Smiths.
It's amazing how much "Premium" stuff or components thereof are made in China. When I dismantled my 2021 Africa Twin AS to check valves nearly every electrical component that was spotted or removed was stamped Made In China. I had a 2016 Rav 4 Hybrid for a couple of years and the complete engine was made in China!! though the complete car was assembled in Japan. Not to mention the BMW 900's which appear to be completely built in China with a roundel stuck on. Oddly the in my 2014 Toyota Auris Hybrid was made in Japan........but the car was assembled in Derby.
My VW has fancy Matrix headlights (which are fantastic) and made in China.
Globalisation is such that components are made all over the world and those consuming the finished article neither know or care where they come from. Trump trying to push back on that can only damage the US economy.
Thats exactly how manufacturing companies are keeping costs down, some of which are seen as extra profits for the manufacturer and some of the reduced cost is then also passed on to the consumer reducing the purchase price of a product they buy.
The quality of products from China has risen hugely over the last 10-15 years, they still aren't always perfect but most manufacturers have their own Quality Control staff in China overseeing production which has driven quality of their products.
Trump somehow does not see that, not sure why. If parts are to be made in USA instead of Mexico or China the cost of the part will increase due to higher overall production cost. This will give him his "Made in America" car, truck, bike etc but how much will the price rise to the end user to meet his demand?
Purchased a pair of boots from the US. The company makes boots in US and in Mexico. Same materials you couldn't tell one from the other, a Youtuber cut them in half to check. The difference in price is £200. They rational is to have the same quality for different pocket. They send the leather from a US tannery to Mexico, difference in labor cost tips the price.
