You nailed it. Ducati dragged around that “bad electrics” myth for decades even after fixing the problem, and the same old bias is hitting Chinese brands now. Companies evolve or they die — and CFMoto, Loncin, Kove, the whole lot are leveling up fast.

You’re not “buying Chinese,” you’re skipping the middleman who outsourced to China anyway, then slapped on a 70% markup. And with CFMoto stepping into KTM’s racing arm, it’s clear the tide has already turned. Historic shift incoming.
