You're well known so all manufacturers make sure the bike you review are tip top and you only use for a short time. These bike are OK for weekend summer toys but for a daily they have serious problems. I hope you get to review the Zontes ZT125U, ZT125U1 and the Zontes G1 they have changed the game with Chinese bike I really hope you do a review as you are honest and a proper review including the running costs.

I feel like a second hand Honda or Yamaha 125 is the way to go. Resell value will be excellent and riding experience would be similar/better. Less worrying about the reliability/build quality as well. The bike does look great though, love the orange.
@Umarluch3 жыл бұрын
I'm thinking of trying to start with motorcycling. I need to say this is the bike that I consider (it is called Zipp Scrambler in Poland). I was thinking of Yamaha TW 125, but the price difference is minimal. Do you think it is worth getting 2nd hand bike if the new one is less than 20% more in price?
@Mr21Komes4 жыл бұрын
When it comes to 125cc bikes, the performance differences are so marginal that I don't think it should be much of a factor. Style and price are more important. And this bike looks really nice. As for the price - as long as you think you won't be loosing too much when you flip it in a year or two, anything goes. As for the concerns some have about Chinese made bikes - how much can go wrong on a simple 125cc machine? Besides, you would think that in the past ten or so years of market presence, they'de learn a thing or two about making a bike. Just remember that the big four were regarded in pretty much same way before they were known as big four. Props from a happy Bullit Hero 125 owner
@chewylandlive3 жыл бұрын
There are so many of these bikes out now. Exact same bikes just with a different sticker/branding and color choices from many different re-sellers. They just come from China in a big box. I love these 125 bikes, just wish I could buy one here in Bulgaria.

G'day Mr MB. This is a learners bike. Things i would change to make it easier for them. The seat is too high, it should be around 785mm. the short guy's got no chance on 825mm. i would change the width of the bars,narrower is the go. i noticed on the video when you were lane splitting, there wasn't a lot of leeway between you and the cars. Good video Bob.

I bought the Mash Falcone 125 and that is 136 kg empty and 11 HP, seat height 780 mm. So it is comparable to this one. I use it as a second bike to go around town and seem to drive it more now as the Yamaha FZ1 Fazer.

Does look good but comparing it to other cheaper 125s the only place it can actually compete is looks. Compared to other cheap 125s its underpowered, heavey and overpriced. The brakes and suspension are par for the course in this price bracket but considering I can save almost a grand by getting a sinnis or lexmoto which will have better or the same specs and the same level of quality its a no brainer. Don't get me wrong though it looks great

Worst bike I've ever owned is a herald scrambler total junk I bought it new 2 years ago and its dead too many problems to list. I did keep up with maintenance it's just junk. So now I have a Zontes ZT125U only £400 more but built like a Honda. The brat is the same price and Ive seen plenty of people have serious problems with it. Best bike if you want a scrambler is by far the Zontes G1 check it out won't be disappointed.

Looks fantastic, although I'm not a fan of those gp style exhaust. Really though, surely a 125 should be making close to 14bhp in this day and age. It can't be difficult when 125's could make close to 30hp in the 80's (admittedly, they where 2 strokes). Finally, can someone smack the bureaucrats that think linked brakes is a good idea!
