The Philippines is among the countries where used Japanese bikes are being exported. I for one do collect them and the fact that there are China made doesn't mean that quality is low. Branded ones like Bridgestone, Panasonic, Maruishi, National are made in China but the production is of Japanese standard. We see around here new commercial cheap models but the quality is very poor. Sometimes we source branded ones made from other countries also. Restoring these used Japanese bikes for me is a hobby in the first place, though I used them for cruising and commuting. Check out my postings on this bikes under the commuting thread [Jitensha Philippines].
