Get a real CBR125.

don't buy it, you will regret it, it will fall apart on you for no reason due to low build quality.

You get what you pay for.

Buy a used CBR instead. A mate has one of them sky jet things and its falling to pieces.

I have a 2005 cbr 125, i have done 20,000 miles on it and it has never let me down. Just needed a new battery last month.

Here's a reply what I wrote earlier (Posted: 21:02 - 12 Mar 2007)

Unfortunately the Chinese are doing what Japan did 40-50 years ago - copying western stuff and selling it cheap and it can also be nasty!!! Some is OK but some is really cack.

I've got a Scooter I'm fixing at the mo from a friend who bought it off ebay for £300, bargain as its done 131miles only and is a 55 plate. But fook me, its very Fisher Price!! It won't run more than 5 mins, the handle bars had come loose (only held on by 1 bolt!!!!! and no none are missing!!!) The throttle works both ways!!!! Except it only opened a 1/4 of a turn due a screw which had come loose and stopped the throttle opening. Just need to find why it doesn't run, seems like fuelling either too much or not enough, choke is fine and works, fuel is going in, next is see what compression is like. Its a 4 stroke.

But its only done 131miles!!!, but looks like its 10 years old with a rusty exhaust.

I think if you buy one with an open mind that you may wait months for parts, if you can source them and it may have reliability problems and shocking resale value, then it should be OK as they're cheap. Throw away after a year.

Oh and that rear disc brake looks like one of those false discs that chavs cover up the drum brakes on Novas.

It looks really cheap, like a bottom of a paint tin with holes drilled in it.

It might look tempting, but I would definately think twice. It maybe fine though.

Those skyjets are minging in the flesh, really cheap & horrible. I wouldn't want to ride on one.

I wonder if China are producing these crap unsafe bikes and quads in a attempt to cull the over population of China.

A 125cc twostroke sports bike is a crap choice for a new rider.

You will either bend it or destroy it with mechanical ineptitude.

CG125 all the way.
