Good Points: Easy to ride only had it for 2 months, bike cheap to run and insure, only bought it as a first bike as I am on the tall side.
General comments: O.K. as cheap run around as a learner bike, cheap to insure but not as a second bike for experienced rider. Speed very restricted as I have only managed top speed at 45mph and everything shakes and rattles, build quality very poor, also instruction booklet is full of mistakes and not very helpful.

Have had bike a few days, built it myself and its going well, things on it tend to vibrate and I will spend some time to see if I can find out whats causing it, other than that bike seems great, very happy.

All in all the Hongdou Urban DZ125 is a real good bike for the money. Loving the sound and when you ride it feels cool.

My advise would be to avoid these poor imitations and buy a real Japanese bike!

The Hongdou Urban DZ125 is a great bike. Looks ok and runs well. The build quality is poor however. Plastics are very shaky and the stud broke in head. But after getting that repaired it is now going well. This bike is cheap to buy and to run.

Nice bike to look at but not fun to ride, very poor build quality especially the plastics.
It's badly put together, all the panels rub and rattle and the whole bike vibrates at high revs.
A Let down for some of the other good quality Chinese bikes out there.

The Urban dz125 is a pretty good bike overall it does it's job and looks good while doing it, I don't know how long they last as I have only had mine 1 month, however I have a friend with one which was made in 2004 and his is fine just a little rusty.
Getting the bike up and ready for the road isn't as easy as the people selling the bike tell you, just be ready to have some set backs if you plan on getting one, but once your over them it seems fine!
(Took me a week to get it to tick over) ...

This Hongdou Urban DZ125 looks great and is quite big for a 125. Once started up it sounds big too. I have read mixed reviews on this bike and similar ones, some saying the bike is a heap and to keep away from any Chinese bike and some saying they are fantastic and have caused next to no problems. This is my first bike and I don't know much about them - I have raised the carb screw a bit to try and keep it ticking over but with no luck - I only hope when I ride it that it's more reliable. If any ...
