True. The Genuine Buddy scoots are made in Taiwan, but the G400 and Kick come from China. The G400 has a nice clone motor of the Honda XR400. Its a single thumper with twin exhaust headers.
The new G400c can be had for a couple grand less than a Yamaha SR400, and you don't have to kick start it.
On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Himalayan (400cc) costs less, and can go off road.

I do like products from "Genuine". My own dealer handles the whole line.
THIS little bike looks great to me... Maybe not so good... Seems any bike I really like doesn't appeal to many. Hope I'm WRONG on THIS one. There are SO few nice, 500cc and smaller real motorcycles around these days.
Reminds me of back in the sixties when I loved my sweet little Honda 305cc Super Hawk. Seems like either Kawasaki or Yamaha also made a bike VERY similar to this one, but in a vertical twin. Looked so similar though...
Bikes like this bring us back to the basics of enjoyable, everyday 2-wheel transportation!

Hah! Love how they describe it on that page: Not mentioning anywhere it is a single cylinder! M |

Right now there two bigger bargains in the class IMO. The Benelli 302 at $3999 and the new Kawasaki Z400 at around $5000. Both of these bikes have two cylinders and all the modern attachments like fuel injection. If nostalgia and simplicity are your thing the G400 is a no brainier.

Kawasaki is using a little nostalgia by calling the new naked 400 the KZ400.
