Sukida 125 GY

My Husband decided to buy a bike until he got his full licence back. He was only allowed 125CC and our budget being quite small decided to buy a brand new Sukida from a website.

After only a week the bike would not start properly and then it all went down from there: this bike has been at the garage and been fixed nearly every single week.

The "one year warranty" that you get with the bike is useless as they ask you for picture that the bike doesn't work, which is obviously quite difficult for some things (how can you show it doesnt start on a pic??)

Every single piece of this bike had to be changed, tightened, fixed, replaced, and yet the bike is still playing up.

Today, my husband had an accident on his way back from the garage: the chain locked while he was riding it at 40mph, and he had a bad accident. Everything is to be changed on the bike now, needs a new wheel at the back, foot pedal, exhaust... and he has had it for 6 months just.

THIS IS A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME, these bikes are very poor quality, very poor build and literally fall to pieces!! Many time a bold came loose (it happens very often) and pieces fall off, like the body of the bike, the exhaust etc.

Trust me, for your safety and for not wasting your money and time, stay well away from these dangerous bikes they are so not worth the money. You'd rather pay a few hundred more and get a proper brand, even used, it will be so much better than a brand new Sukida!!

Just got this bike on the road , not sure how many miles I get to a tank , can anyone out there tell me. cheers

Like has been said before a good bike to start with as its cheap and will get you around. They put little tool kits on the bikes to tighten the nuts up every now n then but my son owned it before me and never maintained it . i have and it goes bra have had to replace a few bits when it got nicked but Sukida 125 GY motor bikes on line have all the bits

The Sukida 125 GY is a great wee on off road bike. great value for money. Made to keep price down so cheep plastics vibrate and paint is thin but its a 125 should we pay a extra £1000 sort this?

After leaving the showroom, the Sukida 125 GY proceeded to cut out every time I activated the clutch to stop. After about 10 minutes each time of trying to get it started again, the battery died. I returned the next day, and the problem was fixed, "No Problem!" or so I thought. The gearbox has jammed more than once; it has a poor design, and cheap components (The gearbox). What can be said for the rest of the bike? Well, the engine hesitates when accelerating in second gear; it also slips into neutral often between 3rd and 2nd. My bike has now sat in my garage for a good few months, after not many of working. The timing had slipped considerable amounts after close inspection. The frame is already beginning to show signs of corrosion after about 1 Year, remember, this bike has been kept OUT of the rain. The headlamp, side lamp, main beam, Front brake light, Rev counter, fuel gauge AND right rear indicator have stopped working without ANY loose connections ETC. I'm not an idiot when it comes to bikes, but this one has beaten me. Don ' t make the same mistake I did, and look for a cheap bike. Just buy a second hand Honda, look after it, and it'll live longer than your Grandchildren.

These bikes are awful. Sukida are possibly the worst bike manufacturer that I have ever dealt with.

I kept my bike dry but then didn ' t help and regularly had to fix something I had constant problems from day 1.

Possibly the worst problem was the painted exhaust which overheated and caused incredible rust within two-three months.

The Sukida 125 is not a bad looking bike when you take those silly stickers off. Engine runs well but exhaust dosent fit properly which is a pain. Cheaply made parts from across section of different bikes which don't last. Its not even 12 months old and its fallen to bits. I'd look for something you can get spares to and are easier 2 maintain.

If you are an average mechanic then you should get many miles of happy cheap motoring from the Sukida 125GY.

My Sukida 125 GY is a 2 year old bike, looks and runs worse than my old dt 175 (1982). Sukida, get your act together!

You get what you pay for in looks. It seems a tad under-designed but I looked past it. The worst thing about this bike is its poor after-purchase service! After 3 months of road use and about 5 minute's off-road use my bike needed a new back wheel and new engine bolts. As if this wasn't bad enough the people in charge of getting me a new wheel (which I had to fork out for) got me a wheel with an oversized sprocket. It seems as though the parts dealers' knowledge of components is a bit hit and miss. This bike is a laugh and it gets me from A to B with ease, but it does get me fuming sometimes.
