Honestly the worst financial mistake of my life, i bought this bike as it looks the part and is far cheaper than other 125's i.e cbr 125. The build quality is shocking, its vibrates so much that screws and bolts rattle off, i have had to put new bolts on the exhaust 3 times. The electrics are pathetic and can fault when it rains, my rear light and reg light dont work and has cost me £50 for parts and will have to get the bike stripped down to gain access to wires...nightmare. Honestly just pay the extra few quid and get something decent, i read reviews like this and thought "It wont happen to me". I bought mine around 8 months ago for £900 2nd hand and now will be lucky to get £400-500. All this and its aN 08 PLATE! It should be against trading standards to sell this bike. STAY AWAY. You have been warned.

I had 4 months of use out of this Skyjet SJ125-S bike. I contacted the people who made the bike but never got a reply. In all it was a expensive bike to own . It cost me £700 deliverd + £300 on parts and labour I managed to get £350 when i sold it 4 months old . In all I recommend not buying a skyjet. It was a good for about 2 weeks then it started to fall apart. First to go was the chain when I was pulling out onto the A4 in wiltshire. I had the bike for 4 months and hears a list of what broke and fell apart ; throttle cable,chain,exhaust manifold bolts sheared off, seat wore thin and brake hose 'burst' while braking hard to avoid a deer . Just so you all know I never abused the bike or took it off road.

agree completely - it should be illegal to sell these death traps!

History repeating itself, here. In the '60s the first Japanese bikes came over and were declared rubbish by the Brit bike crowd. Didn't take long for the Japanese manufacturers to learn and improve. The generation brought up on British bikes refused to entertain the Japanese. Now the generation that have been brought up on Japanese stuff ridicule the new Chinese bikes. Make no mistake. These are getting better all the time. The newest bikes are far better than the older ones.
And where are Honda cbr125's made? CHINA...
