    This Haotian 125 is a new acquisition for me so still have a lot to learn.
    I am returning to motorbiking after a break of 40 years.
    I think this is an ideal "test the water & learner" machine.
    It looks the part. Has enough oomph for a novice but is no racer.
    A great "beat the traffic queues" commuter bike.

    I have recently brought this Hoation Vixen as my first bike. I must say that I am very impressed so far. I have only been out on it twice but found both trips very enjoyable. The build quality is ok, not quite to the standard of a large bike but what do you expect for a 125cc that only costs £1000. I have read recently in reveiws that the Vixen handles poorly on corners. I think people are forgeting what type of bike this is. It is a cruiser so getting your knee down in corners is never go ...

    The Haotian HT-8 125 (Vixen 125) is exellent value for money.
    Look after it and it will look after you. An easy bike to handle great first bike or for those coming back in to bike`s.
    I last rode a bike in 1972 an old Ariel Arrow I have`nt `rode a bike until now April 2009. This Haotian Vixen sort of puts me in the mind of the old B S A. Bantam. or Triumph Tiger cub.
    Just a bloody good ole work mans bike. Cheap economical and very very presentable.

    The Haotian HT-8 125 (Vixen 125) is a nice looking learner bike and sounds much bigger will tell in a few months what reliability is like but pleased so far
    searched web and parts seem available?
    read some sorry tales from forams but most seem to be from techphobes who want something for nothing seems great value for money to me

    The Haotian HT-8 125 is a fantastic buy for commuting (I do 60 miles per day) or as a first bike. and does easily 130 to the gallon. The chrome is as good as new with very little attention and the build quality is amazing for the money.
    Reliable is not saying enough, it starts everytime and runs sweetly, have clocked up over 3000 miles commuting to work. great in traffic as it is very nippy and manoeuvrable but still manages a steady 60mph on the A3

    I had this bike for one and a half years and it was a great first bike. I paid £800 for it delivered to my door and sold it for £600, so better impossible.
    The bike is extremely confortable and very good looking and the sound goes together with the bike (nice low rev grunt), I had more attention on this bike that I have today with my Ducati. It is extremely easy to use, the clutch is very soft and there are no many problems to find the gears (the gear indicator is great).
    It handl ...

    As this bike was bought for my 17 year old son to ride and he likes to look the part he was happy and i am happy as it only goes about 48 on the flat.
    And when I ride it brings back happy times when rideing a bike was every day.

    I have had my bike three weeks and to say i am happy would be an understatement. It looks great sounds great (like a bike three times it's size). Very stable at all speeds with little or no vibration. i only bought the bike as a replacement for my lifan 125 after it got written off when the front tyre blew and i binned. would recomend this bike to any new rider or seasoned rider who wants a cheap a to b bike with great looks.

    I have had one for work since Jan 07 and it's never missed a beat. For the price a good starter bike and with a lower seat height it helps smaller riders. Good to learn on and easy to maintain with parts getting more accessble now. When I bought the bike I took the time to cover all areas in silicone spray, changed the chain and put a good chrome polish on. Good MPG about 85+. Still looks good and I ride in all weathers.

    I bought mine two years ago and have had my ups and downs with it. When it arrived it took a long time to find a mechanic willing to even look at it, but once I did it took about 3 visits and a few months to get it all working correctly. It now does about 180 miles a week to take me to work and back through the four seasons - a true, inexpensive commuter bike.
    I've now passed my DAS and I'm looking for a big bike, but the Haotian Vixen has been an inexpensive and quite enjoyable way to give me t ...

    I bought a Haotian Vixen several weeks ago & have been pleasantly surprised. Despite its reputation for being a bit slow I managed to get mine easily to the red line at 10000 rpm (64mph) & with a bit of a push got it to 70mph, albeit at 11200rpm, something I dont recommend you do too often however it happily cruises at just under 60 which is really quite enough for a learner bike. As for reliability in the wet, I took it from Andover to Glastonbury at the bank holiday weekend in the worst weathe ...

    This motorcycle is very easy to ride, it handles well at all speeds, and is extremely comfortable, I have owned mine for over 12 months and have covered over 6,000 miles without any problems what so ever.
    This motorcycle is a first class 125 for the new price asked, I would defiantly purchases this model again.

    I bought a Haotian HT-8 125 (aka Vixen 125) from new almost a year ago and although it has only been used for social occasions and has thus only done a little over 1000km it has served me well so far. It has always been very reliable and for the scant £800 I bought it for I must say I have been very impressed. First off this bike looks fantastic, it is an absolute monster much bigger than I was expecting and certainly a lot bigger than most 125's it has loads of chrome and as long as you l ...
