Had one of those brand new as my first bike. Will always hold a small place in heart!

On top of it completely mate. Enjoy OTT maintenance just as much as I enjoy riding. Not that it's been needed, bike's ran 2200 miles now without a single malfunction, slightly disappointing for someone who enjoys tinkering. Stupid thing just keeps on going
I love the bike, couldn't wish for more from a 125 cruiser tbh.
70mph (bigger front sprocket to achieve this because of the low standard gearing)
around 120mpg around town!
Sounds very nice for a 125 due to twin exhausts
in 3 years.. 100% reliability
Cheap as chips
Looks gorgeous
Great fun and easy to work on
Built quality closer to that of a jap bike than chinese. I'd say this thing is 90% there really. ____________________ 57 Huoniao HN125-8 - , 97 Kawasaki GPZ500S -

I certainly do miss the mpg!  ____________________ Harold_Shand wrote: I suppose it's like anything, you get your fingers burned when you start out, you learn from it and eventually become a complete arsehole about the whole thing. |

A fiver from an expensive garage (its the closest to me) generally gets me 180km. I'm not sure whether to keep this once I pass my full test for the cheapness or get a 250/400/500. Would be hard to let her go! ____________________ 57 Huoniao HN125-8 - , 97 Kawasaki GPZ500S -

Just turn off as if you were going to the little haven. They're right in front of you immediately. Yes, the stairs are over the road and lead up to the lawe top park. Which happens to also be where I live (a street nearby, not the park). Anybody know of any other nearby decent photo spots? shame you can't get on the pier... legally. ____________________ 57 Huoniao HN125-8 - , 97 Kawasaki GPZ500S -

My mates dad has one of those, 09 plate, lives in Gateshead It's actually the worst bike I've ever seen to be honest!!! Never thought I'd see one posted on here, that's for sure. If you ever see a fat bloke one one pottering around doing about 2mph then it's most likely him  ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Thing with chinese bikes is, you need to have the mechanical knowledge to maintain them and protect them in the first place. and they need someone who can put them together without making a complete cock of it. Mines absolutely fine and will easily hit 65-70. Never let me down. Suppose it depends who owns em and how they care for their bike ____________________ 57 Huoniao HN125-8 - , 97 Kawasaki GPZ500S -
