Chinese Bikes.
Lexmoto sold 5,562 chinese bikes in 2012,which was 6% of the uk market,Honda,Yamaha and Trriumph only sold more.WK had a 600cc in the TT this year and it seems most of the big retailers are now selling chinese bikes.

Re: Chinese Bikes.
When the Indian built KTM Duke 200 was first launched last year it was £3995 here but it was reported the exact same, built and sold in India was only £1350!

I doubt we'll see it here though, there are already enough small scooters in the range.
