Good Points

Ultimate freedom on a 125cc (not very common experience)
Lots of torque in the midrange.
Sounds Like no other 125CC
120 miles to the tank which olds 10/11 litres.
Okay clutch
Tonnes of grip (although** see below)
All parts are very cheap
No fearings to damage or scratch
It's a unique design that really turns heads
Good fuel economy, even better if rode sensibly


Bad Points

Small turning lock =wide turning circle
Front end heavy and love to slide out (scarey- had me once, hurts)
Doesn't like changing gear
Gear / speed needs correcting
Power in wrong areas
Doesn't need a 5th gear (no, really)
Vibrates
Useless in the rain
Hates the cold (no fearings = ice on everything)
Digital clock needs replacing every time it rains (mine has had 6 in 4 months)


General Comments

Wish I had bought something else but I'm stuck with it. I wanted a Suzuki lc 125cc but got this Sachs X-Road 125 instead which was, as it turns out not much cheaper.
Not worth £3,000
Buy for less and you are in for a treat

    I've had 200 miles to a tank of fuel. Oh yeah, and if you keep a little bit of WD40 on the electrics you won't have any trouble. I think you will find it is the speedo sensor by the front wheel that goes. I stuck a little bit of silicone sealer round the top to stop the water getting in after changing it once, and I've had no trouble whatsoever with it since.

    I was thinking about getting this bike, however I'm not so sure now, think I will continue to look around. Always good to hear what someone who owns the bike thinks.

    Cheers
