P.O.R. Apache 125

[The View Askew]

Hey Ppl, I have had a pug ludix blaster 50 since 16. and am now looking for a 125 at my current age of 17.
Whilst browsing ebay i saw the afore subject mentioned bikes available for £699.99 new. the shipping price is £99.
The feedback is 100% for the seller. and they comments indicate good service. However, as I'm sure you are all aware, people tend to leave feedback the second they receive their item. So i come to you, do any of you own one of these? know anyone who does? know anything about the quality of these bikes? it seems kosher to me but things are hardly ever as they seem.
Will I be wasting my money with one of these?
www.ebikeinsurance.com gave me a 3rd party quote of £320.
This is a good sign as a lot of the chinese shite they flog on ebay is not even insurance recognized. If the bike is of reasonable build quality and ok for casual easy non stressed riding but not too special in the weather and all that I would still buy it I think. I don't intend to rag it about, (my 50 is still restricted to sustain selling value, as i have higher things than being a boy racing twat in mind loL)
Any info will be much appreciated.

cheers ppl
Lewis

From what I've heard, they're okish bikes with solid engine, just the electrics are a bit crappy and bits tend to fall off!

Give him six months and a winter to enjoy it over. If you're willing and capable with a spanner, then it isn't such a problem. Otherwise it could turn into a bit of a headache.

My advice would be to get a cheap four stroke 125 such as a CG or GS 125 for =<£500, and then be able to sell it on for as much as you got it for once you have passed your test. The depreciation on Chinese imports is hideous.

Where might I find a cg125 for <-500?? the cheapest i can find is at least 900. loL

I considered a car, but then I thought, nah screw that, pay more for something thats slow in traffic home from work, and is much less fun? fuk off!
