Would you buy a Chinese motorycle?

Right on. Personally, I would not buy anything Chinese at this point, if I had a choice. And, with powersports, there are plenty of choices.

Hondas and Yamahas are Japanese. The question was about buying a Chinese motorcycle.

There is a difference.

Japan ,Chinese doesn’t matter most parts for everything comes from that part of the world anyway.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I lived in that part of the world for about 5 years. Owned and rode motorcycles there.

Ding Ding Ding .. This answer right here. My son against my advice when he was a teenager went online and bought one of these. Main drive shaft was bent within the first month from his weight.

And of course the places stated by the manufacturer to get warranty work were no longer taking any warranty work because of 1) They were overwhelmed from the amount coming in for repair 2) The manufacturer stopped paying for the warranty repairs.

Unfortunately, parts availability and getting good service seems to plague BRP too. Witness the recent issues with the sprocket recall, and that Spyder dealers are getting few and far between compared to a few years ago.

But I'm not inclined to purchase anything from China that doesn't have a reasonable chance for making repairs or returns. A lot of Chinese electronics fall into the category of "if it breaks, throw it away" so as I result I take a pass.
