well chaps i have done nearly 1000 miles of town riding on my chinese BETTER 125 ,had it about 3 months now , no real problems ,just got to keep an eye out for bolts that vibrate loose . i have had to change the center stand as it sort of colapsed , and i have disconected the switch on the side stand so i can start the bike while it is on the side stand , it just got on my tits not being able to start it and let it tick over while parked . other than that its still going strong , i would say that is is about run in now , and runs nice, best £575 i ever spent on a bike . if it runs untill it needs its first MOT in three years i will be very happy , i will buy another one and get another three years worth . happy biking chaps Very Happy

Sounds like a pretty cost effective means of transport, I assume you only bought 3rd party insurance, which must be cheap as chips on a 125 like that.

Thumbs Up

good luck with the test .
top box is easy . i think you put key in and turn as normal .then push the right hand button in ,it is stiff as i remember , then when button is in, lift top box from the back .
it shoud just lift off , but that button takes a bit of pressing .
have fun ,
