I have never heard of the manufacturer so I suspect they are Chinese, search Chinese to see the arguements.

Of course when you word things online the way you just have it sounds as if you are going to do this regardless or have already but are not yet admitting it and are looking for approval...

It's Chinese from a not so well known manufacturer, pay your money and take your chances...

What have you considered as alternatives, and what is attracting you to that bike?

If it's Chinese it's very likely that you'll soon find out that the warranty is worthless, it's built like a kinder egg toy to the extent of being potentially dangerous, and it's slower and much less reliable than a 10-20 year old Jap bike with 40-50k on the clock.

Avoid. Even if it looks to be a bargain.

Send me £100 and I'll give you a can of rust, some faulty wiring and the contents of my plastic recycling bin. You'll get the same enjoyment and reliability for a fraction of the price.

I suspect that you would be better off with a second hand Japanese bike of similar value...

It'll be a cheaply made piece of shit that will break and cause you hassle.

Don't buy a cheap Chinese bike.

There is a reason most people tend to stick to the known manufacturers, reliability and build quality do suffer a lot on Chinese bikes.

Only Friday I bumped into a guy who'd just passed his test, he was on some 125cc AJS cruiser, it was only 2 years old but covered in rust, he didn't have anything good to say about it at all.

Try and pick up a nice cheap jap 2 stroke Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Avoid it.

Get an RS125 or if you like the enduro look more go for a YZ125 or something.

Stay away from cheap Chinese.

Never heard of it, so I suspect it's Chinese. If so, then walk away now, do not look back, do not pass go....!! Get yourself a bike which has reputation long time. Not some cheap crap... Very Happy
