Actually they do. Honda has recently come out with a new NSR50. It has a 6 speed tranny and everything, very cool.
Anyway. The Chinese bikes are fine for dickin around, they go 22-28 MPH and have disc brakes, good tires, etc.. The best Chinese $300 bikes are Caglleri's(neat Italian name huh). They are marketed under hundreds of ebay names though.
I have a "rossini" which is a cag. It was $300 delivered and it is a ball. I would not spend the $1,500-$3,500 it takes to get a good Italian bike (yes they are much nicer and faster) unless you want to race or have cash to burn.
If you buy one, bolts will be loose, hoses unconnected, nothing setup right etc. But once you get the tools out for maybe an hour they are fine.
Me and a buddy have em and they are fun in parking lots. I mean for the money it's well worth it and you will be amazed they can sell it that cheap. Thank goodness for no child labor laws in China
