There was a post a while back about chains and what you should or shouldn't use.
Needing a new chain&sprockets and whilst going over ebay I come across this
https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Super-Value-525-Chain-110L-w-link-Suzuki-Q0525-/390081197379?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts
Now that's dead cheap so i'm gunna say i'm real tempted.

In the previous thread it went down the line of chains being able to outdo the level of force a bike could put through them.
What's the opinion here then, would you?

At that price worth a pop.

But don't expect it to last as long if you are doing a lot of heavy right hand action.

Used to use these types of chains years ago and it was nice to be able to whip out a link when you got to the end of the chain adjustment. Talking X7's and Lc 350's. So not your under powered stuff.
Then again the chains did get well looked after by taking off and having a nice bath in proper molton chain grease to get into all the bits Thumbs Up

Not so sure I would want to do it with the more powerfull bikes of today.
A snapped chain can make a very nasty mess of a bike... Never mind if it snaps up your leg Sick
