Anecdotal argument in favour of Chinese motors...
A lot of the local hire shops have started using Chinese motors for generators, chainsaws etc.
I asked how they were and they said they're cheaper and they're having to service them less than they did the Husqvarna / Honda equivalents...
Chinese stuff is waaay better than the lingering reputation would have you believe...That being said as @jackbepablo mentioned if aesthetics are coming into it the likes of Mutt are quite cool, CFMoto look great if you want something more modern and my buddy just bought one to go alongside his all-bells-and-whistles R1250GSA and he's ridden the CFMoto more since he got it!
My TU250GB I sold a while ago would have been perfect for him...
What's his vibe in terms of aesthetics?

I passed my bike test in 1977 so I have absolutely no idea about the 125s I'm looking at on Bike Trader. I'm on holiday with my son and his girlfriend in Thailand and the boy and I have been renting Honda Clicks (125cc). He had a moped for a while but wasn't fussed until he passed his car test at 17, ten years ago. It could be the Chang/Leo talking but he now wants a 125. I've been looking at Bike Trader at Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki etc. am I right to be discounting Lexmoto, Sym, Keeway and other iffy sounding makes? I'm trying to take him down the path of righteousness and away from auto scooters but that may be difficult.
