Thanks for another great video, Herbie. Now we know the answer to the question that you know we've been asking. Nice bike, nice price. I might have enough room in my side yard for a 125 ...
You’re welcome Todd, this little 125cc is a blast to ride, it is a good trail bike, not really made for jumping and stuff but boy it rips the trails really good.
I got the 17t on mine herb and put a fmf on it man she rip only thing the motor mount cracked gotta get it welded im gonna do the dirt legal thing just waiting for my plate bracket and blinkers ect lol good cruizin 💪🏼💯💨💨💨💨
Hey Herb, Who manufactures the engine to the Thunder 125? I think Apollo is the US importer if I'm not mistaking. It's sad that even dirt bikes with 17/14 inch wheels have tall seats. 33" is high for a person with 29" inseam. The only alternative would be to go down to 14/12 inch wheels and those bikes have a very short wheelbase which makes riding uncomfortable for an adult. Can the rear single spring suspension and the front fork be adjusted to lower the seat height without major work? Do you have any plans of converting this bike to a street legal? If you do, a conversion process video sure would be appreciated. And also if you could have a family member or a friend with a 28-30 inch inseam to sit on the bike so we can get a good idea of the fit for shorter people. As always thanks so much for all your efforts to help us out.
@@JeffBassir-lo6zj I will look at the engine when I get home tonight to see what markings is on it, yes Apollo imports it. I will plan on making a video with someone shorter on the bike, it is a pretty tall bike. All you have to do on the front is raise the forks in the triple trees so more is above the triple clamp. The rear would require a shorter shock absorber to make it lower. Getting the bike street legal would be tough. Putting lights and all that on it would be easy since it already has a headlight, a battery would have to be added too. But the problem lies in getting the state your in to allow an off road title bike to be street legal. Forget about it in Illinois, not sure about your state
The manufacturer is Zhejiang Apollo Sports Technology Co., the engine family is Papox.124blc. Hopefully that is helpful, that information is on the nomenclature
You are correct, I do have a Nibbi carb on it and it runs awesome with it. I did mention that in the subtitles. These are fun little bikes especially for as inexpensive as they are. Hope you are enjoying both your bikes! Thanks for the comment
Normally the price is $1299 free shipping but right now they have a $100 off special code. So it’s $1199, a lot of bike for the money in my opinion and it’s brand new. Tell them Herbie sent you, and have fun and be safe

Thank you Herb.
@@JeffBassir-lo6zj Your welcome Jeff!
I own two of them, top speed with stock air box and carb maxed out at 80km. I’m pretty sure he’s got a Nibbi carb on that bike.

I have that bike I have about 60 hours on it and It only goes 51
@@Zaharymartushev 51 mph is pretty good for a dirt bike though, I can’t imagine needing to go much faster than that 😊
@@herbiesgarage681 yeah it’s a great bike and I love it for trails
@@Zaharymartushev that’s awesome, it does good on the trails, I ride it pretty hard and it just keeps going. 😁
@@herbiesgarage681 yeah it’s a awesome bike
