I know zero about it other than I can’t imagine it’s made anywhere else but China.

Spend the money on one of the Big 4s. Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki or Suzuki.
Buy once, cry once.

You should definitely buy it. Hell, get 2.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Yes they have a China plant but it's for low end products.

Can you buy replacement parts easily? If so, can you turn a wrench?
Me, personally, I'm done with the cheap knockoffs. I bought a 50cc knockoff dirt bike for my kid that I eventually got running right but there was a lot of trial and error on buying what would actually work for the bike.
Cheap, yes. Headache, double yes.

Wow, reading the Wiki dates, I wonder what a Honda motorcycle from 1946 looks like. Some of the Amazon reviews would give me pause.

You have to assemble it. Looked it up on Amazon.
To be determined

Read the reviews. Parts and warranty service are almost impossible to get.
One shot is all it should take.
