Hopefully not imported from Asia, that's a gamble and a whole different set of possible problems. As far as a cooling issue, that's possible and you can install a CHT to keep an eye on it. Cheap insurance if you can find something like this in Finland, these have a ring that goes under your spark plug: When something like this happens, I usually pull the spark plug.

I take it you have seen just a 'couple' of SE Asian bikes......when i tell people the horror stories, some believe. frankenstein patch work frames with bad welds under the bondo'd body work, bent forks, broken and rewelded forks, stupid little bodges on all the hardware and attachements. the bearings in the fork where the axle rides are crap, tons of play and they feel like they're filled with sand. and to top it all off, the fork bearing retainer is totally home-made washer with one side knocked flat. the bearings in the fork where the axle rides are crap, tons of play and they feel like they're filled with sand.
I'm a happy owner of a Buddy 125 that I purchased new in 2009. Last year I found myself looking at a Vespa Sprint 150, but I never made the decision to buy it. If they were priced the same, I'd probably get the Sprint, but the Buddy is considerably less expensive. So I'm looking for opinions on whether the additional cost for the Sprint is worth it, and if there's anything I might not be thinking of that I should be. Do 12-inch wheels vs 10-inch wheels really make that much of a difference?
