Was looking at a 2009 Jake on Monday. Very nice, and very light compared to the tank I'm currently riding.
it's not like the fact the frame is asian-made = lesser quality than US or Canadian made. Heck, look at the auto industries, Toyota, Honda and even the Korean maker Hyundai makes products that are considered of better quality than GM or Chrysler. So don't let the "Not made in the USA" deter you from buying the bike that you like.
