I can't fault this bike at all. I bought it a couple of years ago from what looks like the same place as many others who have wrote reviews - LS Imports Ltd in Portsmouth (for anyone who doesn't already know, their website can be found at http://www.learnerlegal.com/).
I think the company which the bike is bought from is just as important as the actual bike itself, which everyone should know about. I haven't had a single problem with having my questions answered by the team even when asking what are probably silly questions ("Is it just unleaded petrol I need to use?" - Sorry!). It also looks a big range of spare parts are available should they ever be needed.
Now, back to the actual bike itself, the Sanya SY125. It's a cheap bike, so from the beginning I didn't expect it to be like a Honda, Yamaha, Aprilia or any others. Oh how I was wrong! Found out this model is actually based on a Suzuki equivilent however has a few minor differences, for example to me the tyres look slightly narrower.
Build quality is absolutely fantastic for a Chinese bike, and a far higher standard than some of my friends who have bought bikes from elsewhere online. One other point to mention is some minor assembly is required, but if I can do it I'm sure anyone can.
Happy riding!
