Megelli R125 09'

[EUMP]

Came across the R125, looks really good and impressive so far but im not sure what the build is on the inside anyone know anything about it? Is it going to go bust over a year or less?

To be honest, doesn't sound like most 125s, looks alot of fun to be riding it.

As the 2009 models quite new, theres little info out there about it seen a few videos on youtube of it - really nice but wanting more info!


Tags around £2.2k new +£100 on the road so lets say £2,300

British designed, built in china. tbh mate for the price you could do a lot better.

Plus it's a four stroke 125.

Has the power of a wet fart, spend the same amount of money on a 2006 RS125.

defo go for a mito or RS125.
Much better bikes, i have mates who moan that 2Ts are unreliable but bollocks are they.. you just gota look after em good with decent 2Toil and warming them up.
My RS50 used to fly past 125 4strokes.
Also my RS50 had 29K KM on the clock and had never once had a rebuild! Ran sweet as soon as it was warm aswell.

4-Strokes may be slow, but they're more economical and at least they don't sound like a helium fart. Honestly the sound of a 2stroke is embarassing I don't know why owners think they sound good. Any normal person either laughs or turns their nose up when one zips by.
I visited my uncle and cousin in worthing, both are bikers. A troup of large sexy bikes including a buell and a triumph rumbled past, and heads turned. 2 minutes later an RS125 buzzed past, and everyone laughed. It wouldn't be so bad but the poor fucker was clearly posing as he went down a dead end and turned round.
Still better that than chinese crap. Get a cheap 125 to learn on, you WILL get bored of it regardless.

listen to the voice of experience

febuary this year (yes 2months ago) i paid £3300 for a new rs125 saying "its ok it will be more than powerful enough and i wont get bored of it" BOLLOX!
after around 2 weeks i was plotting my DAS course, although just dreams really as i still have to pay off the loan i got for the RS

anyways 2 weeks ago i did my theory just to get it out the way phoned a bike school and turned out they had a cancellation for the next day and offered me a fairly decent discount (£65) did the course passed the test and traded my RS in, bare in mind its only 2months old and only 1350 miles done trade in price was £2500, a loss of 800 over 2 months as sick as this made me the ninja soon helped me forget all about the loss

moral of the story,dont be a fool like me,spend next to nothing on a 125 for practice (cg is the best bet) do your proper test and get a decent (second hand) bike, if your not 21 then do the restricted test and get a restricted 600 so as soon as them 2 years are up you're ready to go

big money on a 125 is pointless, just wished i had listened to the people who said i'd get bored of it
