What is the relavence of that? The point is not where the parts come from, or who initially manufactures them, its who did all the footwork, payed for all the r&d, took the time and expense building prototype after prototype until it was right.
Sourcing parts like coils or chain or whatever out of China is no different than sourcing them from any other country, but again, its crap to steal the latest technology (as well as illegal) knock it off and do that cheaply, and then tell everyone that this POS "replica" is just as good as the original.
GoPed was actually succesful in stopping dozens of containers of knockoff scooters from getting into the country, (and half the parts are manufactured in Asia) and had quite literally bankrupted the twits that had them sourced, tooled up, and tryed to bring them in.
BBR has done the same, they actually have a legal team that only pursues importers of ripoff BBR parts.
If you drive a Ford, there is a great chance it was built in Mexico, if you drive a Toyota pickup (a Japanese truck) it is very likely it was made in California.
It does not matter if China built 9/10 of DM or GRC bikes, DM or GRC or BMS or whoever, payed for the tooling, the materials and still (most importantly) did all the R&D. So, so what if any or all the parts are made there, you guys are still stealing the latest, state of the art frame design, you put nothing into it except buying a real DM and shipping it to a plant, plus some capitol. People like you and the others involved in this are
ONLY interested in sports like this because you can exploit the masses to make a quick buck and then move on to the next big thing.
Blah blah blah, it really doesnt matter since all you're going to do is just sit there and justify in your feeble greedy little minds why it's OK to do stuff like this, you could give two sh!ts about the sport, and you won't even give that when you arent making any money at it, stop trying to justify your actions, there are people out there that will buy them, theres no doubt about that, but you and your cronies will be sure to be remembered for a long time by the people that truly love the sport, as greedy a$$holes just here long enough to make a quick buck at the expense of small hard working companies. And that is the bottom line, so stop trying to justify it, just accept that you are all greedy pricks, and do your thing, we won't miss you next season when you have moved on to your next exploitation.
Sorry, didn't mean to strike a bad note here....Perhaps its best for us all to wait and see what happens....there will be lots of opinions and all very respectable and I'm sure well meaning....Without facts, most of us are simply armchair generals offering our best opinion to what we see and understand at the time. ....Perhaps whats really happening is far different than anyone may guess or suppose....
