I'm looking for a 125 in norfolk, ideally an off roady type so that I can play at green laning on it in the future but any to get some practice on prior to the test for the big bikes. (which is taking a awhile due to me being a numpty)

I've seen a sukida crosser, anyone know if its a pile of poo or ok?

There's a small chance it'd be ok, but I can't tell you just how small as the numbers on my keyboard don't go down that far...

Search for 'chinese bikes' on this forum, have a read of all the horror stories regarding chinese bikes. That should answer your question.

Generally chinese bikes are a pile of crap. However, search for the exact model on the internet and look for reviews Very Happy
That being said, many reviews seem to be written by illiterate chavs Neutral

Yep, I've heard of them. Chinese manufacturers seem to change their name weekly but underneath they are all the same.
Before you buy do a quick check with your insurers as a friend of mine bought a Sukida scooter and had problems as the insurers had never come across the name before.

Chinese bikes are what they are. You wont pay a fortune but if you only want it to last a few years then they are good value.

I've got a Baimo Renegade that I happily rode around on for a year and did over 3000kms before taking my big test. Never let me down and it only cost £300 to buy and put on the road.

I had a sukida 50 back when i was a little baba (last year) and it wasn't bad for what it was. Apart from some faults caused by the previous owner, it was flawless in design (based on a yammy jog) and as you'd expect, some of the materials were a little cheap, but nothing snapped or broke or rusted or corroded or anything. If you're looking to buy chinese, make sure you're willing to clean the shite off it when you've done using it and do meticulous maintenance. If you stick to those two conditions, you'll have a reliable, cheap bike
