Lucky, what's your take on my Chinese friends that ride telling me that Chinese bikes are garbage and were never designed for the NA market?

They all ride new Jap or German bikes and say that the chinese bikes are 20+ years behind the technology curve and don't have parts support here.  

In the markets they were designed for this isn't an issue (China, India, most of Asia etc.)  The massive numbers sold mean there are parts bikes available, if the bike doesn't run well because the carbs don't fit well it's not a big deal, they were never meant to be performance machines, etc.
