Good Points
Nice looking, low running costs, nippy for a 4t, does not sound like a bee in a coke can or smoke like a burning rubber factory, sounds like a real bike as well.
Bad Points
Needs a 6 speed box and a smaller back sprocket to pull the top end over 130kph.
General Comments
I just got a Sachs XTC 125 Racing and like it had 2 Honda NSR RR 125 before and like this better it does not sound like a hair dryer or smoke. Yes its a bit slower than my Honda NSR RR 125 but it pulls up hills better and sounds like a real bike. I have had 125kmph about 80mph today was not trying as still running it in only had it 4 days. The stopping power is far better than a Honda NSR RR 125 or the Honda NSR 80 and the TZR 50. It's very good on the petrol. As well I filled it up when I got it and have done over 200km on it and there is still about 5l in the tank, that's better then my NSR - 130km max out of a tank.
The Sachs XTC 125 Racing looks the dogs nuts as well and its a full size bike. If you want a nice looking, cheap to run and nice to drive bike that can go fast as well, then this is the one for you.
