I bought this bike 2 weeks ago. I have 183 cm and it fit for me perfectly. Very good quality you can easily compare zontes to Japanese bikes but zontes is 30% cheaper

[@adrianmihai7402]

Great! Have you ridden others bikes before? How is feel? I have same size as you and I think that this bike will be little bit small...By the way, how is the ride in windy and bad weather condition?

[@Matiascrx89]

I don't have opportunity to ride for longer trips due to weather conditions in Poland but few short rides (10-15 km) ensures me that buying this bike was good decision. Only once I ride very carefully in rain because new tyres can be very tricky... Definitely exhaust has to be replaced ASAP this bike is too quiet, wind shield maybe in the future but in my opinion it will deteriorate it's overall look

[@jamesharwood9584]

@@adrianmihai7402I am 186cm 95kg and find this bike feels great. I have previously ridden and still own the GK125 however am trading in for this bike as it’s more my style.

Stop the cope mate

[@akmmahmudunnabi7168]

i'm 165cm. do you think this bike would suit me?

[@tonypowell6669]

This looks great…. Zontes have come along way in about 5 years!! This one is super tempting!! Great review as always Mark

[@markpulling12]

Thanks tony ....yes another great offering from zontes .... great build quality and fab to ride Cheers mark

[@jamesharwood9584]

Currently own the GK125 after watching your review on that!! Been to Poole moto today sat on this bike and have organised a deal on one of these again after watching your review. Can’t wait!

[@markpulling12]

Thanks James ...you may be the first owner of one in the UK then Great choice cheers mark

[@draoudeffargur350]

Hi. Very good review, thanks. It's my next bike and I hope not having battery problems as for the other Zontes bikes!

[@lucabragaglia183]

Great review as usual....congrats from italy ❤️🇮🇹 you're a standard,really really competent

[@markpulling12]

Thank you so much! Best wishes mark

[@outdoorsfunserbia]

Bought mine 3 weeks ago and I'm riding it every day. It's not very fast but is nimble, agile and easy to control. Passenger seat is smal but it's very comfortable ( by the words of my daughter and wife)

[@necrozma_d_gato]

is it good enough to properly sit? asking coz I wanna buy this bike but my gf is having doubts about passenger seat

[@outdoorsfunserbia]

@ItsMubeen0 my wife is 157cm/4.9ft and she is very comfortable on the pilion seat

[@JDMz]

It's not gonna be fast when in the break in period.

[@keithallan8200]

Useful and enjoyable review as always Mark. Not the bike for me, but the spec and value for money is surprising.

[@user-Rockscorpion]

Ok Mark, thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated ......Mike

[@BabaYagaGOD]

Going to buy on Tuesday ! Nice video thanks !

[@rjwoodhouse1]

A really useful review, thank you. I am trying to decide between the Keeway V-Cruise and this bike, obviously the price tag is a big factor but the Zontes seems a better spec. Thanks again for a very detailed review.

[@markpulling12]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SurreyAlan]

Just came across a Spanish review where they swapped the mirrors from cool to useful. Had a red tank which made it look more appealing to my mind.

[@sascha5193]

the same Engine like the G1-U-GK i think. Zontes does a good job over the last few years👍

[@Hinckley_Biker]

A very enjoyable review Mark, it's almost unbelievable how good this bike is for the money, amazing value! It looks really good too, what's not to like!? 👍

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks Dennis 😀

[@RazorTM]

Great review! Finally a proper one. Mine arrives this week! Cheers!

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks and great choice Best wishes mark

[@christyrer9530]

Really enjoy your presentations, always chilled and relaxed 😊👍

[@markpulling12]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sundukibrahim2944]

the fuel tank is enormous for this kind of bike. Honda Rebel 500 CMX has hardly 12 as I remember. Quality is discussable -time will show what real quality of Zontes bikes. Thanks for review

[@timwilson452]

5***** Excellent from styling to build quality to price - i'll be placing my order ASAP!

[@markpulling12]

Great choice:) 👏😄

[@Lewphis-House]

Beautiful looking bike, would be perfect size for me as I'm 5'6'. Zontes are impressing me, they've been producing some good machines. Now to convince the wife lol

[@danielforde-pogson]

Lovely review...of course. I like Zontes too.

[@andyc750]

Be interesting ifnthey put the 500 singie engine they have coming into a similar bike, they have a fewodela out we dont get in the UK sadly as a couple of them look like they have potential to be great bikes

[@jamesprice7470]

Great review has Aways mark.they have done a cracking job with this one.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks James....yes another winner from zontes cheers mark

[@kevindarkstar]

9:26 glad you mentioned those mirrors, first thing I thought was "those are in a bad place" so I'd agree they need flipping 😊 unless they are putting em on wrongly to start with at the dealer, which is possible 🤔

[@markpulling12]

That is how they come from the factory as far as I know ....even the website pics show them like that 😂 Best wishes mark

[@kevindarkstar]

@@markpulling12 in that case mark the factory needs to give their heads a shake 🤣

[@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie]

Lovely review. Thank's 👍 just need 2 suitcases 😀

[@nigelcb1300]

Looks quite good but the cables trailing from the front forks on to the radiator look really cheap

[@AndrewNorman-u2g]

Thanks for all the very helpful reviews. I'm thinking of doing my CBT shortly and getting a 125 for my daily 10 mile each way commute. Of the various Zontes models would you recommend any in particular for all weather commuting, mostly country roads?

[@markpulling12]

Hi the u1 or the g1 with the semi knobbly tyres would be my choice for all weather and road types Great bikes Cheers mark

[@kevkingsnorth9222]

Really tempted but a bit concerned with the electrics?

[@johnyverstegen3910]

Great review Mark! Would you prefer this Zontes C125 above the Hyusung GV125? Which one is better for more taller people?

[@markpulling12]

Hi they are both low machines..but with feet forward so ok for tall people...the hyosung is nicer to look at with it's v twin but more expensive Id personally go for the zontes Cheers mark

[@octaviodiokno4667]

awesome bike, perfect for daily commuting i would say

[@markpulling12]

Thanks yes I agree.... always impresses me how well the zontes bikes ride Best wishes mark

[@ZTU-TT24]

Looks very impressive Mark and I might advise my friend to get one haha

[@markpulling12]

Thanks yes 😀 a great bike 😊

[@IceNo1]

Great video! 👍 Making me think this instead of the RKV. Is it easy enough to switch over the mirrors and make them topside?

[@markpulling12]

Yes very easy just undo a few bolts Cheers mark

[@oemergt9010]

I Hope , this Bike Comes to Germany 😊 Very cool , Looks Like Rebel 500 from Honda

[@audimanuk]

Yeah but whats the music track you used at t he beginning ??

[@user-Rockscorpion]

Mark, will you be reviewing the Yamaha 125 XSR in the future. I've read a lot of good things about it

[@markpulling12]

@@user-Rockscorpion hi no unfortunately not You can't get 125 demos on like Yamaha Suzuki etc Sorry about that I have tried before but I can only get Demos on the likes of zontes etc Cheers mark

[@gordons8843]

Nice looking bike

[@olethorhermansen5696]

Electronic seat release, fuel cap and stearing lock! Wow! Are all these electronic gizmos really more practical than a center stand, which this chain drive bike doesn't have? I know which I would prefer, but this Zontes is typical of the direction most motorcycle manufacturers are taking. They stuff their bikes with more and more needless electronic devices that can and will fail at some point, and instead they drop things that really matter when you have to live with a bike, like functioning mudguards to protect it or a center stand for servicing the inevitable chain.

[@dirkbrachmann8548]

I hope it comes to Germany !!

[@svaralen]

Looking good!!! Excellent price....looking forward to see a review of the Kove 510x (chinese copy of the cb500x). Nice review as always ✌️

[@lodziarsko]

nice!

[@melissafarr6116]

I'm VERY short and i'm looking at this bike to do my CBT. As an under 5 foot human would this be ok for me?

Hi Mark, what is the steering responsiveness of this 125 cruiser compared to the GK 125 scrambler ?

[@markpulling12]

Hi engine performance is the same very good....being a cruiser it's not quite as sharp in the bends but then makes up for it in comfort... Kind of depends what you are looking for relaxed cruiser or sharper gk .....best wishes mark

[@9MileRoary]

I think I would fall asleep at the bars if I'm too comfy probably lol but I am a bit of an all-round rider I do prefer an upright commanding position so I guess I would be more suited to the GK. Thank you for your opinion mate.@@markpulling12

[@alexloweh1]

60-65 mph is plenty... i might buy one life is too fast these day ...Just cruise and chill i say... . Great review.

[@sk27101968]

What about the position for a tall person, 190 cm tall, with a seat height of 70 cm?

[@markpulling12]

As it has mid position foot pegs there is still quite a lot of room so you should be fine Cheers mark

[@Edgar-ms8st]

I would like to buy this Bike, i live in Germany.

[@r.d.1991]

I'm sure it's a great bike but ooof that tank though. 😬 Just like the Honda tank. 😅

[@simonbowen6653]

That's a lot of bike for the money. If reliability holds up its a bargain.

[@cbates2410]

I not herd off zontos b4 would you recommend them or lexmoto

[@markpulling12]

Zontes are more money but the quality is amazing

[@JDMz]

Zontes is miles better than lexmoto and alot more reliable.

[@Hazmatti]

not a huge fan of the exhaust, large tank/shape or the front headlight, feel like if the headlight was bigger and exhaust smaller it'd look nicer.

[@joycassell8630]

i would like to see Honda Yamaha turn something out of this quality for the same price

[@michaelstocktingMagicMike69]

Can they district restricted? What cost

[@markpulling12]

Hi they aren't restricted...these are 14.5 hp ...the max for A1 is 15 HP Cheers mark

[@olemarac3810]

This or keeway superlight ?

[@markpulling12]

Definitely this 💯😀

No they can't. As they're not restricted. The ecu is locked from factory. They can't be jail brokenn

It's fine for tall rider. I have customer that's 6ft3 on a zontes c125.

Rebel copy

Thats cheap. And cheap to run. I'm half expecting to see Deiveroo/Just Eat people who don't want to ride a scooter zooming about on these.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks yes they really are good .... probably my favourite zontes now Cheers mark

[@ZT-wz8yy]

Exactly the same price as the 350 meteor now with current offers (2,999) If you are not on CBT, the Enfield is definitely better and should last longer.

[@williammuir638]

Another make I've never heard of. Looks interesting 🤔. What others are out there?

[@markpulling12]

Benelli cfmoto quite a few Cheers mark

[@JDMz]

Zontes have been out for over a decade. Maybe more
