[@Commsfarage]

don't understand why the mainstream manufacturers aren't making bikes like these

[@nicholasholt7571]

You are right if bigger companies started putting more effort into 12 fives a especially with new emission laws they could make a killing and they could pump out some absolutely brilliant 14 to 15 horse power motorbikes. But to be honest UK laws need to change as there are a lot of 450 CC bikes but only produce about 14 to 15 horse power anyway so it should go on horse power not engine size

[@christtototottottott]

Never thought I would want to buy a zontes. They really have upped their game. I'll be looking at one of these or the U next year.

[@molemaninc.1462]

I have a G1 and it’s a great bike. Regarding the crash bars, they work. Some massive clot reversed into mine and knocked it over. The crash bar took all the brunt so I had no damage elsewhere. Really did it’s job so I’d leave them as they are. 👍🏻

[@mattschultz7196]

Wish Zontes was sold in the U.S. Love motor for the masses, you guys do a top notch job!

[@CiBi1968]

Bar Dilemma - Full Bars & Bungs (Total Novice) - Just Bungs (Capable Learner ) - No Bungs - (Old Git) 😁

[@MadOldBiker]

exactly what I thought

[@nickryan1522]

Just bought one (in Spain) in yellow. First ride on it (test drive), I had so much fun I didn't want to bring it back! It's incredible fun, way more powerful and better equipped than anything even close to it on price. Quality of all components, plastics and metals all look and feel top notch. Would even say that the brakes and gearchange are smoother than the smaller cylinder Hondas and...who else has a slipper clutch at this price point or cc?! Engine/exhaust sound, definitely not discreet, but doesn't sound like a 125. Time will tell regarding reliability, but a 2 year guarantee helps.

[@nicholasholt7571]

I've got a friend who has just brought one and I had a test ride I ride a keyway superlight and this santis is incredibly smooth deride and is great fun they really have upped their game and are genuine compitas with the Japanese bikes now

[@Deathscythe39]

Bought mine 4 months ago. As much as I love the bike itself and how it rides, I'm afraid I must say that QC checks at Zontes have let me down big time. After just 3 months of use the coil went bust. Luckily the warranty helps but still have been out of my work transport for a week.

[@callumboothroyd3766]

That's a cracking looking zontes! When I get my licence back in April this might be on my consider list!

[@majowa83]

Thanks for a good review. Nice job. The bike? You’re right. There’s nothing like it out there and I can’t get over how good these new Zontes bikes are!

[@AdmV0rl0n]

The bike has a good mix. Its relatively well made by initial looks, its well thought out. It has good power/perf (assuming the figures hold up). I always feel bikes are over priced now - but £3000 is a good price by market. The one thing that motorsforthemasses used to cover in their reviews that they seem to have dropped is a section on service intervals and servicing - which bottom line is and always will be the biggest pain in the arse about motorcycles. Previous, some Chinese bikes had very short service intervals. I rode (several) GS125S for years, just changed the oil, and on and on they went.

[@coldwetandhappy6879]

if it was a 250 i would buy one for commuting (city ride) love the look of this bike. and love that you guys are the only ones reviewing small capacity and cinese bikes. greetings from the Netherlands.

Love the bike love the full body protection kit,yes for me leave it all alone, great video once again and,was very happy with your very limited dislikes,I still think its very sad that there are no all British contenders whatsoever, but that's life, thanks again great job.

[@andrewmillard5326]

Nice looker from Zontes impressed. Better with the crash bungs fitted and no crash bars even though less protection. Great that you can do both and so simple to do. Zontes has come along way with their bikes up there with the best.👍

[@eduardosilva7304]

Hi there, as always, a great and funny review, thank you. And yes, I think the crash bars should go out, keeping the crash bungs. Looks way better!

That's one beautiful bike. UM scrambler classic comes to mind but these are not in market anymore. For me this is a winner but I'm waiting for the ADV version review as I'm thinking of that sort of type. Brilliant work and that frustration with surrounding noise made the review a whole more fun.

I have bought one and the 2021 model is looking even better. The quality is soo good and it drives very softly. A short drive is definitely recommended

I ended up buying a Zontes 125cc G1x !! So many positive reviews I let myself be carried away by the design and all the equipment already in series! impressive! Very satisfied!

You recommend it then buddy? Im seriously thinking about getting this! I already have a zontes firefly and have been happy with it for the past 2 years!

[@Jaffa1951]

The crash protection might be a dilemma, but it's a dilemma that doesn't happen on most bikes because they are aftermarket options. Zontes are coming out with some nice bikes. I was already impressed with the 310x and the 310t. And, now, I like the look of this one, although I don't think I'd buy a 125.

[@die8suende]

I'm getting my license at the moment and this is the bike I will be buying. I already paid a few bucks but it will be delivered in may or june

[@chriselliott7882]

Buying one of these in 2 months really like how it looks

[@ofernaud]

Video very well done. Simply fantastic. Your english accent is very easy to understand for foreigners like me. About the Seat height I would like to add something important: Zontes G1 125 seat is 830mm tall, however in Zontes U, Seat height is 790mm. I wanted to buy G1, but I'm 1,69 cm tall, and I can not reach the floor with both feet very well. If there is a slope, plus 150kg, if you can not reach the ground, you Will probably fall off if you try to move the bike. Im sad about that, probably I Will buy the U125, instead of this one. What a pity, It looks amazing, I tried It and is very confortable to ride. Subscribed. Thank you from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Thank you for your feedback. I think you will still be very happy with your choice.

[@Signals927]

I now have one on order for next March. I have part exchanged my AJS Tempest Roadster.

[@stefanweb316]

I just bought a 155 one and it's cool, the crash pads are indeed quite bulky and it takes a lot of space when i park it in front of my house, but other than this is's a very cool bike, comfortable cheap and with a very good consumption.

[@bookah8787]

I have been away from 125s for so many years , I'd consider this for commuting looks very good for a Chinese brand , everyone needs a 125 in there garage , look forward to seeing more 👍

[@bookah8787]

May have to look at a taller 125 ..... Tall problems lol I do like the look of it though.

[@leftymadrid]

Well first of all it's super nice to see a reviewer say "well this bike is new, so we can't really check the speed" geez most don't care and they push it to the limit. Feel sorry for the person who buys that bike!! In the past I would have not looked at a Chinese bike! But obviously after so much positive PR and the folks who have had one for a spell are super happy with them. I have personally check into "All" of the information on who makes them, quality control etc. And most impressive the company "Tayo" has 256 patentes!!! In engineering, science, and more! Over all very pleased after finding out that there's nothing out there that comes close to this G1 125 Scrambler!! I get mine in two weeks, can't wait!! Extremely excited!!! Great review, thanks so much!!👍

[@motorsforthemasses]

Thank you

[@pepetube3810]

Thanks for sharing. Salute

[@amneverin]

Just bought one. For the money, the spec is great. Slipper clutch, very smooth and easy gear changes, ABS (none of this linked braking nonsense.. which in my humble opinion is unsafe… living somewhere where the roads are usually wet, cold and often covered in diesel.. do not want the front locking up). Gear indicator (good for learners), backlit controls and more importantly push to cancel indicators. LEDs all round. Bar end mirrors are often aftermarket on a lot of bikes but standard on this … and give great visibility. Crash protection comes as standard and I like it .. but easily removed if preferred. Looks great too. Tubeless spoked wheels are rare in this class and price range. Quality seems good but reliability … only time will tell.

[@firestormlivingsolutions]

Wow... Looks nice

[@MMarkaby]

It’s a beautiful slick bike.. I own one in Egypt as a 155 cc..

[@maxv77]

Looking forward to the review of the MASH 650 👍

[@dreamtv3301]

Excellent Boss!

[@Deathscythe39]

Bought mine 4 months ago, had a long thought which to get, G1 or U1. In the end after watching many reviews and sitting on both of them at the dealership I went for the Scrambler for the simple reason, U and U1 aren't tall people friendly. It's a bit awkward to change gears on them compared to G1 where u sit a bit further back. I must say there are 2 things that I DO NOT like about this bike though. 1. Needs a better rear mud guard, my backpack and jacket are constantly covered in dirt. 2. Had a great honour of being probably the 1st owner in UK who's coil went up in smoke after 3 months of use (just over 800 miles on the clock), thankfully the warranty took care of that. Except those 2 issues, I absolutely love this bike

[@nickpritch3152]

How's the bike doing now . Any more issues with the bike?. Do you still love 👍

[@Deathscythe39]

@@nickpritch3152 the bike is brilliant, there is just a small deformation of the panel hiding the exhaust pipe due to the heat but apart that the bike has no issues after getting the replacement coil. And yes, I still love it.

[@Signals927]

Love the chunky look of this bike but I would take the bars off maybe maybe not use the protectors. Nice looking bike all round.

[@malebolgia21381]

i got the 155 version here in Singapore and i love it alot! especially the 870km++ i can squeeze out of the 20litre capacity! and it doesn’t even feel heavy with full tank.. the tyres works great even during cornering (although it looks “knobbish”) and i recently changed the rear rubber to a 140 to make it look “chunkier”. this bike is also a head turner here in my country, especially with its huge size and many mistook it for a 400cc bike. oh back to the guards and plugs, i’ll definitely keep them both, just to be safe on my wallet😜😅 great review btw, i’m beginning to love my bike even more!

[@motorsforthemasses]

Great rider feedback, thank you. 870km is fantastic....very surprised with that.

This is a stunning bike. I am so tempted for this as my second bike. I tried a sinnis terrain and hated it! The zontes looks better built.

[@vijaydeejay15]

Finally to the UK :) Love the rectangular look of this bike. Way too stylish and best part being lightweight. Wish they had the Yellow option too and bring the more stylish-looking Zontes V310. Does it show which gear your in the Speedo ?

I chose the sinnis terrain as my first bike as im big into wild camping and panniers from standard are a big plus. But if i had seen one of these i think i would have definitely picked this.

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Changed my mind on a Blueroc and got this on order!

[@milkncheese1]

Looks super clean with just the crash bobbins but having just 1 bolt holding it in place over a frame it would snap if dropped as having a frame spreads the energy lessening the risk of a snapped bolt... but absolutely I love the look of just the crash bobbins and no crash bar.... Though lol the crash bars would look better is they had extra lights mounted (ooooo) Like extra fog lights or just epic extra luminous joy....

[@decab8292]

My honest opinion ? I really like it’s looks and stying, and it definitely has an appearance of a larger cc bike. Suitable for a wide range of riders, both young and dare I say “older” rider. From beginner to seasoned bikers looking for a city commuter or a weekend ride. At a fabulous price. 👍 I would keep the crash-bars & bungs.

[@mrcolinlancaster4962]

Hi, loved the video and the bike looks great and seems to perform as well as it looks. I am seriously interested in this bike but I'm concerned about dealer back up and parts etc as it appears sketchy here in the UK from what I've seen online. I'm 50 and this will be my first bike so I don't want it to sat in the garage waiting for parts etc. Also I can't find any info on servicing intervals either. Any way you could point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thx in advance Col

[@daddystu7046]

Probably commented here before I bought one but it warranted a re-watch. On the crash protection - the bungs help when your front slides out on ice! However, the exhaust/exhaust cover sticks out about 2cm too far from the bike body so that doesnt get saved by the bungs/bars i'm afraid. Still - amazing bike!

[@Krom1hell]

Being an scrambler and with a bit of off road capabilities..... crash bars might be a good thing.... Being a 125-150cc starter bike, they might be a good thing for people starting riding :D..... You can always take them off when you get confident enough.

[@worthyo]

Nice looking bike, I personally would leave bars on and put smaller crash bungs on( skateboard wheels)

It's a nice looking and comfertable bike to ride but since i bought mine i have the engine light come on and the bike just stopt driving , the battery was apparently defect so i brought it back to the dealer and had it back after a week with a new battery. Whent for a drive and the light turned back on after a few km's. So far it's just the light that has come on and for the moment no other problems. But it's not nice to have a bike with 310 km's with such problems even when i dont take over 5500 rmp like they discribe in the user manual for the first 500km. I hope it will not be a "trouble" bike and the problems go over.

having had the dubious pleasure of going airbourne over the handlebars a couple of times i'd remove the bungs as they have the potential to be leg breakers in my eyes

Chinese bikes are catching up really quickly just like the Japanese did . The crash protection l like that you have options it's a scrambler so bars and bungs for the green lanes and bungs for the road . It'd be great with a bigger engine maybe 250/300cc

[@Velosirraton]

Man, Zontes is making the best small bikes by far, all the others look terrible compared to this one. And I want to say, it looks great with the bars protecting the fairing and all that, looks industrial, looks tough, it doesn't look like a bike that wants to look like a princess, looks like it's a bike ready for everything, purpose before anything else. Another thing is, there is a yellow model that looks gorgeous.

Don't be fooled into 'dont buy it cos it's Chinese' mentality but others. Some brands, yes improvement s are needed but Zontes have come on leaps and bounds. Go and see one, see the quality, feel the bike, hear it. They are very good bikes now. Sadly many follow the old stereotypes. Do your research and you should do well.

As for tyres, again, these I found to be good. Michelin Anakee Wild could be a consideration but I doubt the improvement would be worth the change.
