    Good Points: Looks good. Great value for money. Good parts availability. Excellent fuel economy.

    Bad Points: Only does 55. No fuel gauge.

    General comments: 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 ...
