Brilliant bike! Bought it back when I were learning and have been driving for a good year now! Very reliable little bike. Never had any problems with her mechanically, only cosmetic problems when i fell off! OOPS! But all that aside it just doesn't want to give up. Bought it second hand from a friend in 2005 summer with only 850 miles on the clock and in immaculate condition. In that past year I have done over 5000 miles on her with no break downs or problems and the fuel economy is unbelievable! It can do about 135 miles on one tank of about 9 litres! Great for commuting and traffic busting.
It could do with another gear maybe, I know that 6 gears on a 125 bike might be a bit too much but she screams like crazy when you really open it up! I think it might make it go a little faster too which is a small problem, she can only do around 55-60 mph at a push and try to avoid going up hills wherever possible. If you make a mistake on the selection of gear entering the hill she is not very forgiving and by the time you reach the top you will be going about 20 mph! These bikes are not very easy to wake up in the morning! They hate having to start when its cold or early! You have to use a lot of choke and let it know who's boss with the throttle! But once she is going she wont stop! In my case I think the shape is a little out dated! I am 18 and I don't enjoy being seen around driving a bike that looks like it is from the second world war! I feel it could look a tad more sporty! Also the 0-50 acceleration is not particularly good as it does it somewhere in the region of 20 or so seconds! But to sum up, I would recommend this bike to anyone young and old, its fuel economy, traffic busting skills and character make this bike a star buy!
