Kincurd--have you thought about Kymco scooters? Made in Taiwan. Quality is suposed to be pretty good. KYMCO Yager GT 200i Overview - KYMCO USA

That Kymco bike looks amazing. If I could get a good deal on one, I'd definitely consider it. Just like with a Yamaha Zuma and what have you. I am not dead set on CF Moto, but it's high on my list, due to price, availability and from what I can gather objectively, reliability.

And I am not sparing consideration for resale value, in looking at bikes. Ecomodding can be inherently bad for resale value anyway, so I'm not sure how that is really applicable here. I'm not a collector, so there is no plan to accumulate lots of bikes, to a point where I will need to resell out of necessity. I'm also not turned away from motorcycling whatsoever, I'm a rider for life, it's just been awhile since I hopped on one, for reasons beyond my control.

Yes I agree, Kymco bikes are of better quality and very resilient!

Being in the Philippines, you must have come across a lot of scooters in your day. Do you have experience with some of these supposedly more reputable Chinese bikes and concluded that Kymco is that much better?
