AX? No redeeming features?
Does if its a GT.
They are very similar to motorcycles. They are just as light, made from the same plastic and tin, just as cheap to run, run the same tyres, and just as dangerous in a crash.
Edit: just noticed, you have a chinese 125. You don't have a real bike. You'll drive the car and realise its a solid well built masterpiece of technology and you'll never want another bike again because if all cars are this good then there is no point.
In actuality your car is at the bottom of the car food chain. However, that car food chain is so high above a chinese 125cc motorcycle, that it refuses to dine in such low places and instead uses its position in the chain as a latrine.
Do you not even have one ounce of taste? ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F; Cheap project: CBR900RR FireBlade
Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another. |

^ PMSL Thats awesome.
Yep, im afraid it is an AX. I know il probably not regret it when i find the car will actually start in the morning, and doesnt dump all its oil out for no logical reason. The bikes been good, but its time to move on...  ____________________ Eat well, poo hard

Unless you really do have to carry a lot of "shizz" then I would definitely have sold that Chinese lump of bad welding and put all of the money towards a beautiful Japanese masterpiece of a bike - and some thermal gear  ____________________ will never give up his CG. I look at my fuel gauge more as a progress bar than a fuel gauge.
G: With my GSXR I do often effectively use it as a scooter with a clutch in town.
ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston? |

Ive got all the proper gear, ALL of it, and heated grips. I dropped it last winter on ice, and injured my hip, bent the gearlever and clutch lever. I couldnt pick the bike up, the tyres and my feet kept sliding around. It stayed down until 2 others come along Now ive got the choice, i think id prefer something i cant fall off
Come summer im after a CBR400 or simmilar.
Sorry Fawbish, i wont refer to 'her' as a B word again...  ____________________ Eat well, poo hard
