I purchased my Jinlun 125-11 in May 2008. During my 18 months ownership I took the bike about 10 times to the garage to get it fixed. Problems ocurred with the clutch, gearbox, oil leakages, and electrics.
In the end I had to sell it for scrap/repairs in January 2010.
The build quality is atrocious. The bike looks good but that's about it. I should have listened to my wife and paid twice as much for a Kawasaki, Honda or Suzuki so the bike could spend more time on the road than in the garage.
If you don't want to spend the money and you're a bit of a gambler, you could hit lucky and get a great looking bike for little money. But, remember the adage - you get what you pay for!
