Interesting...I didn't have a clue it was being made by Chow Ping R.O.C. You learn something new every day I guess.

That would explain why it is so cheap.

So do you think the 2-stroke Christini comes from Asiawing with the GasGas motor, or does he pull the stock motor and throw a GasGas 300 motor in it.
Or maybe he's getting the chassis only minus motor and suspension.

I am seriously considering one of these.I personally would like the complete mc be manufactured in the USA but that doesn't seem likely.To me I am still at least in part supporting an American company as it is designed here and I believe the awd parts are manufactured here.

CRF's are a great handling mc so if the geo is close to that it is just a bonus to me.

I believe the 4stroke is made in China but I think the 2stroke is GG with the Christini kit added.

Fastfast, how do you feel about BMW & KTM going to 3rd world countries to get their stuff....i.e. BMW going to China and KTM going to India.
