what do you think?


Looks and sounds chinese, so you'll be taking a risk. Much of the experience with chinese 125's on this forum involves snapping frames, cheap quick wear sprockets, short lasting engines, etc etc.

You pays yer money, you takes yer choice.

May look nice, but will have the performance of a cg 125 if lucky.
Take a look at their web site. They have even had to scan the leaflets for info on the bikes.

Better off with a jap 125, may not look as nice but have a far better resale value.

not really, on the move the air should kep the engine sufficiently cool, no matter what the revs are.

when your sitting in a que is whewn you need liquid cooling, once a certain tmp is reached, the fan will kick in and blow air over the radiator, dissipating heat.

Aren't you a bike mechanic or something? or am I thinking of someone else?

The bike gets hot to get to operating temperature. The water cooling does the same as the air cooling, in that it regulates that temperature, so the engine is hot enough to run but doesn't overheat.

The advantage that water cooling has is that it is more consistent cooling which means smaller tolerances can be run, and the engine can be run harder.

Na i dont do mechanics
i do bodywork and painting Wink
but oh ok, just fort coz when i had my minimoto's (aircooled)
if i went for a long ride say we rode for a hour straight, it would overheat, and would have to wait for it to cool down.

Any suggestions what i should look for then? I was thinking about iether a honda nsr125 or an aprilia rs125. It was just the price that attracted me to the pulse adrenaline.

i just got my rs125 gp1 yesterday and i absolutely love it, even though i paid £2200 for it and its on a 53 plate Rolling Eyes

but i got a good deal because 300 miles ago it had a full engine rebuild costing £450 from raceways in Fleetwood near Blackpool and its in immaculate condition.

The cbr 125 is a good bike reliability wise but my god it looks ugly, wheels like a bmx bike and its so skimpy and thin.
Not really a substantial bike i dont think, because its so small and light and the tyres are so thin theres basically nothing holding you to the road.

That is what has put me off the cbr125. My mate has one and it just looks rubbish because it is so skinny.

People May disagree with me but that bike to me looks some what like a Derbi Sm with different front light?

I'm not sure what Chinese bikes are like But from what others would say.. I would consider a few other options or at least check the bike out before buying it

hi,
that bike is popular over on the chinese bike forum.
same as the sinnis apache iirc.
& pretty much the same as any other chinese bike.
weak alloys & welds, crap carbs,dodgy spark plugs & water thin oils. underpowered & silly gearing, dodgy fastners & dangerous rubber, apart from that, ok really, lol.
heard some say the pulse is slightly better quality than most other chinese bikes but im sure thats just pulse owners who are scared there gonna get 50 quid when they try & sell it.
cheers,
GAZ

I read a review on one of those "pulse adrenaline" things, and apparently they are really good, but only because of the value for money. Think I read it in Bike...

EDIT: Or MCN;

i had an adrenaline, std wont set the world on fire, but change the handlebars, tyres and sprockets you've got a pretty dam good machine, fun to ride and no parts to fork out for as covered under warranty! even no MOT blues for 3 yrs, ok its no DTR but then i only wanted to get passed parked cars queing on the way to work, £1600 for a brand new bike, cant be bad, its chinese yes but if looked after it'll go the distance! done 10k never missed a beat motor is solid, but had to change most of the screws, and touch up here and there, get 100+ to the gallon and £15 tax love it strongly recommend, oh i even prefer it to my fireblade as its easier to weave in traffic. and i'll never get a speeding ticket!! LOL

i have a pulse adrenaline 125 and it does/ did have a restriction.

its in the end can and fitting an aftermarket will take the top end speed from 60mph to off the clock.

amazingly reliable chinese bike never had any problems with the engine , starts first time everytime on the button, would recommend this as a good first bike to anyone

just change the (plastic) tyres and it handles well aswell, peg scrapingly well in fact
