Default China VIN indicator = L

I thought of this thread over the weekend. I was following a live Proxibid Auction on my laptop and noticed the auction company was selling off some late model motorcycles and quads from an OEM I'd never heard of before.

When I checked the VIN numbers they all started with the letter L - that's the designator for vehicles built in China.

I can't figure out why someone would buy an off-brand motorcycle or quad from China - it seems like both parts and resell value would be major issues. That said, I guess anything will sell if the price is cheap enough.
