A vertical 50? Love it! My one complaint about the horizontal ones...they don't have that motorcycle look to the engine; they're more like the mopeds for 50 years back.

I like the ‘Arnold from the future’ bit and the music when working double speed. Great editing! 😂

I wish I was more like Arnold from the future. He is much smarter than Arnold from the present. 😉

I know nothing about bikes but enjoyed this walkthrough regardless. Seems like a decent enough bike if its monitored and looked after properly, which you clearly do!! Cheers Arnold! :)

Hey Mike! Yes, these bikes are pretty good from factory and with a little TLC they last a long time. I made this video hoping that other owners can take precautions so they don't run into the same issues I had. I am really happy with the changes and improvements, some were necessary (wheel bearings) others were my own personal taste. Last month I rode 2.500 km, that's how much I like riding it.

As a retired major marque motorcycle dealer I have to say your bike on this video, looks like ti is 'crate fresh' ... Well done squire. A very interesting reality that the few if any of the public know is this; Around 70 -75% of a motorcycle's retail price is the cost of the labour required to manufacture it. So when a Chinese made bike is 'cheap'. that is based around it's manufacturing cost. To be frank, most bikes have issues. Not hust Chinese bikes .. China of course makes more motorcycles than every other motorcycle company in the world put together.

That is good stuff too. If it's good enough for Matt from Diesel Creek, it's good enough for me.

...Hey! Where is the "buy-me a coffee" hyperlink in the description? (I'll delete this post later, natch.)

Ooh, I forgot to put that up. Will do it later Joe!

Why do you wanna buy or even keep a POS? How much did you pay for it? How much in parts and time you spent on it? Not worth it...

Well, so far it's been a pretty reliable bike to me. I ride it more than my previous bike and it never left me straded. It's a bit more maintenance sensitive - but there simply are no Japanese alternatives on sale here. Cost of maintenance has been the same as my Honda.

You have it looking like new ,but why put all that effort into something that will give you problem after problem ?. Japanese bikes are so much more reliable .

Japanese bikes in this vehicle-class are not for sale over here, the only alternative is an imported Honda that costs twice as much as this Mash (and which is nearly the exact same as my classic Honda that I owned before). So there's the reason I wanted to give this a try. And I wouldn't say that it gives me problem after problem - it never left me stranded or anything, nor does maintenance cost more than on my old Honda. With the points shown in this video, you can greatly improve the quality. As mentioned, I think part of the hobby is doing maintenance and making small improvements.
