And later models of those were actually assembled in Taiwan by Kymco. Your engine is made by Loncin in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a Chinese person assembled the engine doesn't make it a Chinese engine! If you're using that as the yardstick, then if your Gay Harley engine was assembled by a Mexican guy in the factory then your bike is Mexican. BMW, as I understand it, use the Chinese to assemble a lot of their engines.....including cars. But they are not Chinese engines as you well know. "The new G650GS is essentially the 2007 single-cylinder F650GS brought back into production with some minor modifications and with the engine assembled by Loncin in China instead of Rotax in Austria, but still using parts manufactured by Rotax in Europe". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_G650GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 My engine was made in Milwaukee and the bike was assembled in York, Pennsylvania. All American thanks. I will concede that your sewing machine engine is assembled using mainly european made parts that are then sent to China to be put together then painted and send to where Italy?

Plus there's the Swansea accent as well......which will create more confusion. But strange as it sounds, I can understand Latino Spanish when it's spoken much easier than Andalucian! Because they don't leave letters, and sometimes half the word itself out. And the just slur or chant what remains of it. As I was told by an educated (very rare) Spanish friend.......Andalucian is the lazy man's way of speaking Spanish. And by fuck are they lazy.......it's a national sport. Learning Spanish in rural Andalucia is the equivalent to learning English in Glasgow! That's exactly the same as learning Italian in Napoli, even the Italians don't understand Napolitan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do the same as Pete said , chop the ends of words , shorten them and all with a funny drawal. Sicilian is even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Can I just add that I've got 4 bikes outside. 3 in sheds and one lives outdoors. They've all stood for longer than 2 months without being touched and I bet they'll all start. What can we learn from this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
