Moreover, the bidding also forces many small enterprises to seek allies, which has helped to bring about mergers and acquisitions, the story said. Chinese motorbikes get no respect Yang Zhenheng admitted that he felt a bit uneasy walking the streets of Vietnamese cities. Honda staff members were neatly turned out in spiffy uniforms and bright smiles, bowing and greeting each and every customer. In Indonesia alone, Honda has more than 1,600 after-sales service centers. In sharp contrast, only a few Chinese motorcycle manufacturers, such as Jialing and Zongshen, have after-sales service centers and these are very limited in number.
Most Chinese enterprises have no after-sales service centers.
Because of the rarity of maintenance centers for Chinese motorcycles and the short supply of parts, some potential customers worry about repairing Chinese bikes. These worries induce them to pay even more to buy a Japanese motorcycle because they can, at least, be sure that the bike will stay on the road. Jialing, Jianshe and Lifan all have enhanced their training of maintenance personnel in Vietnam. Aiming at the middle Yang says it is reasonable to expect that Chinese motorcycles will position themselves in the middle and low end of the market. This segment of the market is fairly spacious, and so long as Chinese manufacturers improve the quality of their products, they should have little worry, the story said.
