I helped a neighbour fix up his chineseium custom special. It was a pretty solid engine and gearbox, frame and subframe fine, wiring and switchgear not so much.
Airhead-
The mechanics told me some stories about Chinese bikes and scooters being made of cheese, and that the recommended service intervals are crazy short.
Not surprised the engines are relatively solid, they’re direct clones of the 80’s/90’s jap stuff from when production moved to China, right?

As I rented a 125 , I was considering a 125 Liberty .. cheap £2399 new .
I’m 57 , off street parking on drive in west London .
Insurance was £480-760 that’s nuts , I know I’ve not ridden for a while but my 916 ( that dates me)cost less .Thats saying no to all the naughty stuff but crucially my no claims expired years ago , that can’t help .
It might work out at 50p A mile .
It makes a whimsical purchase a tad spendy .
I guess because they get stolen a lot ?
My neighbour ( younger ) pays £130.
Perhaps I’ll give it a miss , it has cooled my jets somewhat

That’s was my conclusion too , but they look to be Not as bad as I thought .
When you factor in 24 month warranty for the cost of these things it’s seems so cheap .
But buy cheap , buy twice I guess
