This is the worst company i have met, i have had soo much patience with them but they do not care, and the bike qaulity is extremely bad, i have never seen bike in such bad condition, and the warranty??? You might as well not have anything they will not give it anything to you, even if it is there fault, there is no support and a poo company in all, the list is endless, if you need any other questions answered contact me because i can't let them do what they did to me to other people it is stupidly unfair

Anyone who says these bikes are robust and reliable, is talking rubbish. The metal is soft, its put together badly, and doesnt last long at all. Those who praise it only do so because they are jealous of the better manufacturers like Japanese bikes. This bike plagued me for a whole year of having it, falling apart and the replacements costs are 20 times overpriced! They say its reliable, yet the first thing thats reccomended is to remove the sidestand switch, because it fails... My exhausts keep falling off, and only way to keep them on is to over tighten, but that results in flange bending and engine material warping. Threads get stripped all the time, and panels snap and break off. I bought new panels after the first ones failed just after buying the bike from new, only to loose them the very same day!

I have been a biker since 1974, I understand your frustration, and yes things will break, and fall off. I had the same problems with my first Honda back in 74 when they first arrived in the uk. My Suzuki GT 500 was even worse to the point of dangerous. But that was then, Chinese bikes are having the same quality issues, but will in the future be the bikes to buy. I use a 55 plate Better BT125-20 for local runs, which is identical to the Huoniao HN125-8, and yes few things need sorting, but these are undertaken during servicing. All bikes need a regular check over, thats part and parcel of having one, nuts and bolts will loosen due to vibration. Use a proprietary thread lock where there is no heat, for your exhaust issue double nut the studs, that will stop them falling off and not bend the retaining flanges. £ for £ these bike represent great value and are simple to maintain, with fantastic fuel economy too :-)

I can only comment on my own bike. Had no problems at all. Perhaps you have experienced a Friday afternoon model as very few people here share your experiences.

AVOID AT ALL COST that is my advice to you, you will regret buying this bike at some point believe me I've had this bike for about 2 years now and wish i never bought it.
first day i had this bike and took it out for a spin side stand switch fell off leaving me stranded had to call someone to pick me up not happy but when i removed that OK it ran OK for about 3 months but the electric start stopped working so i had to use kick start went ok for a bit but then went to kick bike over it snapped leaving me stranded yet again after that things just started to fall off first was the side panel then indicator rev gauge had to be replaced 3 times now all electrics have fail so i just given up on the damn thing so if cut my losses and scrapped it I WOULDN'T SELL THIS BIKE TO ANYONE IT IS A DEATH TRAP anyway hope this helps you if you are thinking about buying this buy a Honda cg instead i learnt the hard way you don't have to

I found this review not helpful because... the reviewer makes no mention what, if any, checks or maintenance he performed on the bike, its mileage, or the conditions under which it was stored or ridden. Given that he didn't repair or replace the starter, I'd have to diagnose a diet of poor maintenance and abuse.

The bike is only as good as the person who built it. If these are built correctly and properly maintained there every bit as good as their Japanese counterparts, Apart fromthe sidestand switch i have had no issues with mine to date

The metal is the worst alloy I have ever come across. So far I have had the bike for 4 months and the back brake pivot point has snapped in half and then once that was mended, it snapped again in a different place! I've driven out 8 miles from home only to find that the damp air shorted out the side stand switch, which left me stranded in the middle of nowhere.

I've owned this bike since may and it's been hell all along. i've taken it back to the shop 6 times, the owner of the shop now knows me on 1st name terms lol. the electrics ( indicators, brake lights, main headlights ) only work when they feel like it, the kick start has always been seized, it's far too light which makes cornering far too easy (my scooter was heavier!!) it goes mental in the rain and starts trying to throw you off at every moment, and the carb has just broken and is costing me a bomb to have it repaired. i would certainly not recommend this bike to anyone.. it's rubbish!! buy a honda!!

This Huoniao HN125 has so far been an endless stream of stress and frustration, a drain on my money and finding spare parts is near impossible.

I have had none of the problems above.The bike is what it is cheap but worth the money.Looks good,comfortable,smooth and reliable so far.Any bike that is not treated with care will fall apart.If you run the bike in slowly for the first 500 miles and then take care of it with regular oil changes you cant loose for the price.Jealous of the Jap bikes? lets be serious these bikes are copies of old jap bikes and are a 30 year old design and alough the crome and paintwork wont last if you dont cover with oil to protect it are great value for money.Lets face it,if you buy one and run it for 5 years you can still get a couple of hundread back now thats cheap motoring!
