Don't ... just don't .... appalling build quality, it'll fall apart as you look at it.

Buy a used Japanese 125 such as a Honda CG125 / Yamaha YBR125 / Suzuki GN125 etc you'll pay the same or a tad more but you'll have something to trade in at the end of it. With the chinese bike route you'll have at best something worth buttons at worst a broken pile of crap. Why do you think the riding schools don't use the Chinese bikes? After all they're businesses and are trying to drive down costs. It's because they're still rubbish quality wise. Who knows they "may" up the QC but having seen the way Chinese factories work I'll not hold my breath

Having a fake Honda is like having a fake Rolex ..... it'll look ok for a few days but after the first time it gets wet it'll all start going pear shaped

hmmmmmmm, well put!

I'll give it some thought, might just not bother and get 'her' some ohlins for 'my' RT!

by the way someone was selling an official BMW funduro lowering kit on ebay, suspension arms, side stand and main stand. There's also a lower seat too if that's not enough

Can't get the F650, I'd keep it for myself! And I'm trying to get rid of two bikes as it is.

I rode a Chinese copy of a Honda 125 Easy Rider thingy in Vietnam, Steve is spot on, they are BAD. They may be fine in Asia where everything is re-used and bodged together but over here, no way.
I had a look at some as my wife quite liked the idea of having something similar to what we had for tootling around on when on our trip but after looking at some of the ones the local youngsters have I quickly changed her mind. She settled for an MR2 instead!!
