Good Points: Looked like a small Harley davidson and was good on fuel

Bad Points: Leaking fuel tank poor electrics could not use in the rain and the worst thing rust.Importer name changed names to.

General comments: After nearly one years ownershipmy Jinlun 125 - 11 is now scrapped £1000 lighter in the pocket the electrics never worked when it rains people often sais they could not beleve it was a year old due to the rust the final nail in its coffin was the fuel tank leaking due to poor weld.

The Jinlun 125 - 11 is my 1st ever bike: owned it from 8mths old to 18mths old. A dog before being run-in (min. umpteen hundred kms), but subsequently a dream. What I wasn't expecting from such a VERY inexpensive Chinese bike was that it turned out to be exceptionally faithful. Constantly getting looks & attention, with lots of people of ALL ages asking about it. Yes - about it looking more like a 600/750cc. Very practical. I passed my test on it, stress-free. Supremely comfy ride & the most ple ...

I've had my black and white jinny 125-11 for about 8 months,from new. i've done about 2,500km on it, mainly commuting to work and back. i had a few little problems early on whilst running the engine in, ie, loosening nuts, automatic side stand cut out clicking in while i was riding along, and the bracket mounting the spot light broke due to excessive vibration ( bumpy roads!) once she was run in though and the nuts held with a dab of superglue, i have nothing but praise for the bike. it's fun t ...

How quickly the joy of owning a new bike disappears when faults start to appear!!.The 2nd time I rode my shiny new 125 11,there was a loud clunk from the engine and loss of oil,this was traced to a broken oil seal on the generator drive shaft and repaired under warranty,cost of seal £5,cost of taking the bike back to the dealer, £60.Things went well for a while until I had to go on a long trip,over 20 miles!!,at the first roundabout the bike died an embarrasing death,leaving me in a ...

I'v had 2 of these jinlun 125-11's, first one didn't last long got pulled out on at crossroads, car went on red lights and I went straight under his wheel... so that was a write off... but the little 'jin' saved me taking most of the weight of the car only pinning my leg down... This one has lived about 6 months or so, the engine is to die for the, second time making a deep rumble through low to mid range revs... Sound's good under bridges as well as tunnels. I'm not yet sure if there is yet an ...

Well, i read reviews, and they were mixed. The Jinlun 125 - 11 125(48) bike looked great, so i thought I'd get it. Trust me, the looks weren't worth the hassle... Every morning the engine took about 20 - 25 minutes to start. The battery ran out after only 1000km. The clutch is terrible... however many revs i put on, as soon as I lifted the clutch, the bike always went to the point of stalling, where i'd have to quickly save it. On hill starts it was impossible, hence i forced myself to stick ...

I took delivery of this bike today so this review is based primarily on the service from the supplier, and the aesthetics of the bike itself. Having researched a new (and first) 125cc motorbike for mny weeks on the web, i happened across the Jinlun and saw the mixed reviews. I decided to take a chance on the bike as being 6'2" and 16 stone, i didnt relish the idea of riding a scooter of tiny sports bike. This brings me onto the first point about the Jinlun -It is a massive bike for a 125cc! It ...

Bought my Jinlun in June 2008, firstly found it hard to find somewhere that will service it as most bike shops will not touch it. My dealer did not supply a log book which the mechanic I eventually found thought was very odd. The gear rocker leaver became worn which made gear change very hard which meant I had to get it repaired. I was then stopped by the police on routine stop check who kindly pointed out the pannier metal frame was cracked and split around the weld, they informed me that this ...

High vibration levels over 60 mph, nuts and bolts come undone bits can literally drop off i.e. on mine the headlamp, the footboards, the gear changer, the twin headlights support bars snapped because of the vibration, the centre stand bent and collapsed, this is all in the first 6 months and less than 800 miles, don't buy one.

Handles like a dream, gets great looks, bike has done 150 km only the cutting out is doing my head in, build quality is good, needed a bit of tightening up, bought the bike off Marshy Motorcycles wouldn't recommend as they never reply or have tried to help.

I have just bought my Jinlun 125. It has only done 600 miles but as I had to ride it back from Inverness to Dundee it has done a bit more. First impressions were "wow".I had just sold my scooter on EBay and saw the Jinny there to. it is a 55 plate in red and only cost £650.The first ride was bit awkward as having a scooter you only used your hands, using gears again, the first time in about a year was weird. The gear selector on the 11's is a rocking one. Toe down for first, heel down for ...

If you have just passed your CBT and are looking for an affordable bike that is not going to give you any problems, look no further. This 125 is brilliant

I would recomand this bike to anyone who wants to start riding a bike I got mine now for about 4 weeks, and I use him as much as I can (everyday ) driving to my work and getting home, in my free time and so far i didn't have any problems with the bike.

Having owned my Jinlun 125 for 6 months now I have nothing but praise for my bike! I'd read the reviews and done my research on the Jinlun before I bought it and have been delighted with it ever since. I joined the owners club and read through all the info from other members (which is vast) about keeping it running great and how and what nuts and bolts to tweak and when, and have found it easy to work on and enjoy just tinkering with it. My bike is run in now and what a difference it makes! Engi ...
