well so far so good , i think with these bikes you just need to keep on top of services ,and rust ,,,,make sure you spray grease everywhere etc , and it should be ok .. ____________________ live long and prosper .  |

i will do some tomorrow , it is covered in road grime at the moment , but i will post some more pics as soon as i can ,
as it is now near run in , it seems quite good , back brake needs a bit of standing on , but it's still quite new ,,front disk is quite sharp ,
fuel consumption is as good as you would expect ,well over 100 mpg , i do tweek it here and there as i go , i have just pushed the handlebars forward , and taken the slack out of the throttle cable , , keep spraying grease ,,  ____________________ live long and prosper .  |

i intend to keep you all updated on this bike so you will get a true representation of a cheap Chinese bike , it might be good ,,,it might be shit ,,but at least you will have a true everyday account of what it is like to buy one of these , the only downside so far are the center stand collapsed ,,but they sent me a new one under warranty , that i have not put on yet as it's to cold to piss about outside at the moment , and the speedo error is about 5mph out 35 = 30 ,so not to bad i spose , it has touched just under 80 so i assume this is just under 70 in the real world ,, so quite good ,down the dual carriage way with trailing wind etc so will keep y'all posted  ____________________ live long and prosper .  |

Mcgee wants one to run into the ground, wheely and perform rolling burnouts on. I'm sure he doen't care what the fuel consumption is like  ____________________ Bikes: too many, too much for one man to maintain anyway. |

Awesome, actually lilred I need a sensible bike that can get me any where on a sniff of gas incase I wreck my main bike by doing wheely and perform rolling burnouts on
Although it would be interesting to do a rolling burnout on one
That deserves karma but I have none will give both of you some soon  ____________________ ◙◙► K6 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 1000 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► 96 RF600r ◄◙◙

Rolling burnout, lean forward, hips to the bars, clutch it up in first with front brake on, dump and run (don't fall off like I did )
There is a good vid of someone doing rolling donuts on a cg/gs 125 thing on here somewhere... ____________________ Bikes: too many, too much for one man to maintain anyway. |

i bought a chinese cg-125 clone.
rode it a lot.
2k plus miles in 6 months, short trips, long trips, 2 up, shopping, holidays etc the lot. Just sold it. The winter took its toll on the cosmetics, shiny bits all pitted with rust, very bad corossion to chain guard.
A few niggly problems, that were easily rectified, longer screws to keep back light lens in place for instance.
As a bike, fine. Rode it daily, for just over 6 months. So, for the price, it did what it said on the tin.  |
