5 Speed quick shift on this beauty!
what model is that easy ?
Really! I thought everyone believed a £600 Chinese bike would outperform the £2000 Japanese bikes
My point was that if they're as bad as everyone makes out and total death traps then there is no way they would have achieved the market share they've got. Obviously a decent brand Japanese bike is going to be much nicer to ride, but if you only want the bike for a few months to get used to riding/can't afford more then a few hundred then they're a reasonable alternative.
what model is that easy ?
yes see the yam sticker but couldnt see what model thanks !!It's a Yam XT125X
It's fifty times as awesome though, buy buy buy
edit: Do they still make a DT125X? Or has the XT replaced it?

looks like a 4 stroke dt lol
the market share they've got is first time buyers who dont know anything about bikes and see cheap
Tell that to Honda who've brought a whole factory of them!
The bike i've got can be brought new for less then a quarter of what the nearest honda model costs + according to a recent discussion about top speeds of 125cc bikes mine seems to be faster (and that's with a calibrated speedo not the overestimate from the one that comes on the bike) + it's about 1.5years old without ever having any mechanical issues what so ever. Downside is it doesn't look as nice as a honda and isn't as smooth but for a new rider it performs just as well.
They're cheap but you really do get good value for that money. Why pay big bucks if you just want something short term?
Up to about 02/3 the DT had a powervalve and that made it a lot of fun when derestricted (very very simple) but it'd be beyond the legal power limits of a rider with only a CBT, but if you want something with a little more oomph then CBT + DT and a little tweak will give you some real fun off road
Hoysung are about the only non Jap brand i've had personal experience with and even the QC on them was poor in a lot of ways, given the choice i'd take the DT every time. As for the Mito/RS options they require more care and attention in the long run especially if tweaked by your average 17 y/o.
