My wife is the Honda owner.. I owned a Yamaha and 2 Chinese scoots. It is funny, but the Yamaha I owned first. I brought it in to the dealer because the engine started making a weird noise. The scooter was under warranty and had extended warranty. Well, the dealer really did not want to find the problem; said to ride it the way it was.. I felt like the warranty really meant nothing at that point. So I started buying Chinese scooters verses Japanese. Have had no problems with Chinese scooters running. The scooter I own today, is a Roketa Bali 250...
I started out on the TS185 and learned the basics for about 6 months, then switched over to my current bike and have been having a blast since then. I have used my CBR around town, offroad and for long distance travel (the longest I have gone is 300 miles in one stretch, which is not really long for touring bikes, but pretty good for a supersport.)
I bought the CBR used with 3100miles and since then put on ~17k miles of my own. I will try to get a picture up as soon as I can of my current bike. A stock picture I found basically looks like my TS185.
