I've read some pretty unpleasant things about these bikes, mostly involving the assembly quality. Avoid Korean products like the plague.

I'd rather have a 10 year old known quantity from one of the 'main 4'.

Unless you can pick one up for a very low price, I would avoid. As other's have said, an older Japanese model would be safer.

I know it's not the same, but my g/f bought a cg125 copy, 500 notes brand new.

Nothing wrong with it, goes well.

stainless mudguards, all the chrome looks good.

I would recommend it, I really would, just the tyres are, erm, entertaining!

do it Thumbs Up

I wouldn't touch a chinese car/bike with a 12ft bargepole. Shitbags.

You get what you pay for. However, I'd much rather have a brand new cheapo from china, than a ragged 10 year old DT or TS for similar money Thumbs Up
