Bad Points: Build quality poor. Had 2 problems, one a hose that connected to the engine sheared off so the engine kept stalling then finally gave up. The second problem was the tappets became unseated so the engine kept stalling, wouldn't start, then lost compression. All these problems cost a total of a '£100 to fix. Also had a fuel leak. The rubber housing for the earth connector to the head light disintegrated after about a month so it kept shorting which meant no headlight
General comments: Cheap to buy. Bought mine brand new on Ebay for under '£500. Cheap to run. Cheap to maintain. The garage I use is SJ Bikes in Medway, they're excellent.
I commute about 11 miles a day. It's a good runner.
A cheap bike for short commutes, I'd say no more than 15 to 20 miles per day.
Just remember the build quality is fairly shoddy.

Change spark plug to ngk & ht lead end (bit that unscrews & fits onto spark plug) to ngk straight away, this sorted out the mis-firing & dieing when pulling away from lights.
Get garage to change the electrical connectors to decent ones so your lights don't malfunction.
10 inch wheels don't like pot holes are the camber of the roads, can feel unstable like your stuck in a railway track.
I commute 16 miles each way but will look to change to a 125 with bigger wheels when I can afford to. ...
