When I select HONDA QUAD on Ebay and chinese garbage appears..

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Elstar-Honda-ATV_W0QQitemZ110351797328QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Motorcycles?hash=item110351797328&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

I Hate it more, when it has been listed as a HONDA, when it is plainly chinese crap.

Worse still when I have reported it to Ebay, Twice, and it is still up.



End Rant....

Why don't you email a copy to Honda Australia, I bet they'll get it taken off.
I did the same thing with another dodgy listing for a "suzuki" product, it was gone within an hour.

I perceive quality as something more than the number of sales a particular item racks up.

But I see you point, a lot of people do seem to be getting out of Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha laughing

Just went into the Honda Quad Section on Ebay, and the Chinese scurge is gone.

What can I say but "I told ya so".
Good on ya, although I'm not totally against import quads, I do believe they have to stand on thier own merits & be judged on what they are, & using someone elses brand name to sell thier product is just outright fraud.

I have tried to be open minded about Chinese bikes/Quads, but I have yet to hear of anything that aproaches the quality of Japanese.

I dont have a problem with Chinese quads (or any other product) but I dont like dodgy advertising like the above example.
The seller is probably an Aussie Rolls eyes
