China ATVs any good?

[bluewalker]

I spotted a 2007 Loncin 200cc water-cooled ATV for sale nearby, and it caught my eye. Im curious if anyone has experience with these Chinese-made ATVs or if theyre better off avoided. I'm pretty new to this whole ATV world, so any advice or stories you can share would really help me figure out if this is a good deal or a potential headache. Thanks

A 2007 Loncin 200cc ATV can be a gamble, yeah of course parts are cheap, but durability isn't great. If the price is low and you're good with repairs, it could work; otherwise, expect potential headaches

Fair point, thats kind of what I was worried about. In your experience, are parts for these older Loncin models still pretty easy to source, or does it turn into a hunt every time something breaks?
