I don't know, but I'd never trust the warranty from a company that seems not to know the difference between a "warranty" and a "warrantee"

30 of them sold, the chances of you finding an owner are pretty slim.

I'll stick my neck out though and say no. No they are not. 5.5kW, 5.5L tank, and you can likely forget sourcing any but the most basic consumable parts unless you figure out what the real brand and model is and can speekee Chinee.

Take that £1300+ OTR price and look for a used Honda PCX or Vision for the same money.

More than that for the EFI version (OP didn't clarify which model) ... £1425 + OTR !

It is marginally more powerful though (unless they screwed up the conversion from kW to PS). I guess they used a different colour powerband on the EFI.

Red. I'm guessing red.

I've got nothing against chinky bikes (or scooters) per se, but I don't think I'd be buying a new one. The second you wheel it out of the showroom it'll lose about 60% of its value.

Oh, right, 2nd Googols link. Embarassed

£1500 OTR then. Either treat it as disposable if you can afford to throw that much away, or buy a used Honda. Heck, go cray-cray and buy new. Even a Vision 110 claims a whole extra kW, and that'll be Japanese kWs.

I sympathise with you looking at these bikes and was doing the same when looking for a 125. In the end I got a reasonably well aged Honda.
I would recommend looking in your local area for a japanese big 4 125. You can look online for some things to check (common issues as well as standard second hand condition checks) and if they do go wrong every mechanic seems to know what to do with them.
Chinese bikes probably get worse credit than they're due, but they have lower resale value, aren't as reliable and are harder to fix when they do go wrong because of finding parts and willing mechanics.

I've only just started looking into these sorts of things. Engine is GY6 (152QMI), available complete new for about £350. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that the steel parts will not be very well painted, and that oil changes/servicing will be absolutely vital and that good oil should be used and changed more frequentl than specified. Other bits will be OK.

That advice is worth about what you paid for it!
