No disrespect, but I don't think I'd bet money on that. Every brand has their duds here and there.

China bike MORE reliable than your average Honda? Would be hard to convince me of that.

China bike MORE reliable than a Ducati? Maybe some Duc's, maybe. I recently sold some paddock stands on marketplace. Buyer rides a 1997 Ducati Monster 750 that he bought new. It's been his ONLY mode of transportation since. Asked him what all has broke on it through the years.
