Just get a knock off way cheaper and 125cc pretty much the same thing,
search a skyteam 125 cc bike I don't want to give the website as I think it's against the rules.
there aint nothin like it

I'd buy a grom if they weren't so expensive.

I'm sorry I could not disagree more. I don't see how a POS cr@p from China is "pretty much the same thing" as a Honda... :shock:

To tell ya the truth I agree in every way except the smaller cc bikes. Having just went through the dealership debacle with the chinese crap and your right they are crap. The only mechanically sound machines they made were the 125 and 110 models and brand new replacement motors are $269.00 :o I highly doubt its worth doing a spring tune up it's cheaper to just change out the motor every spring :lol:

Combined with the fact that you are extremely knowlegeable about bikes, the reason mentioned above is why I was so surprised that you made that comparison. :shock:

Thanks for the compliment and your right to bash the Chinese machines. I actually found the 110 power plant to be the best the 125 I only had experience with the quad motors only 1 125 in a pit bike the quads had reverse and I guess the gearing they use is shyte cause they are reliable but no balls. The 110 in the full auto and semi auto were actually not bad at all. The rest of the machine FORGET IT as far as the quads went. I ended up selling 1 pit bike and it cost me a whopping 385 beans and I sold it for exactly that !!! I lost the shipping but the guy was happy with it. As a dealership goes HORRIBLE IDEA but there are internet companies selling these thing with free shipping at not much over cost. The road use machines should not see the abuse a dirt use machine would (at least in theory) so IMO you might do OK with a grom knock off at near 450 it might be worth a shot. But I gotta admit I would buy a Honda too :?
