All I know is honda makes one HE!! of a motor.[/b]
I can only speak for the brand/series we sell here at work,, Aeon Motor Corp IS the company that builds what I sell here,, Howith IS the brand of engine they come with, Howith IS a joint venture between Sachs (remember them?) and a company out of middle asia (company name,,?? I dunno, forgot), but they are direct discendents of honda's atc90 series engines as Honda sold them the rights (from what i've been told),,
and from what i've seen, Howith is the most common engine used in all the off brands, yes honda ''designed'' one hell of an engine there, but other co's have furthered its continuation in history,, and from what i've found looking over some other products, Howith also has bought rights to Suzuki's smaller 4 stroke atv engines as well,, they will be a competitor for a long time,,,
BUT!, the other companies with super low $'s on their ''chinese'' prods, had better step up the overall quality of their chassis as well as parts supply chains, because of the units out there, the line-up I sell has the easiest parts to obtain,, MOST of the others are basically extinct and will not return a call, e-mail, or fax asking for a parts supply line for their products (pretty sad IMO) as all I want to do is help customers who've been ripped by
