- I hit 700 miles on this bike so I thought let me give you my personal review of this bike. I am a new rider and do not know everything about motorcycle so I just give my opinion about the bike. Let me know any questions you have and I will try my best on answering it.
Few things I forgot to mention:
The bike does vibrate when I got it but after riding for awhile it goes away but it only happened when I first got the bike.
Vibrates around 5-6000 RPM but goes away when hitting 7000
Try to put new screws and washers and lock-tights because some screws do become loose.

Thanks so much for the 16 subscribers. More videos will come in the Spring when it gets nicer out to ride.
Yo I live in OakLawn, not too far from u, boutta pick one up tonight!
I know this is an older video. I just wanted to add some things for individuals looking at this bike. This is a BD125-11, aka known as a Venom X22, and X-Pro 125 Ninja. It is very easy to get parts for this bike either via vader parts website, venom motorsports website, X-Pro USA, Power Sports Max, ebay, amazon, etc. Even some dealers sell parts for this bike directly. Also, this bike has the same exact engine as the Boom/Venom/X-Pro Vader (grom clone) so the upgraded exhaust with muffler, plus db killer, can be used on this bike.
This bike also has the option to be upgraded to a big bore kit, the zs212, or zs190 engines. You can add a performance nibbi carb to this bike (24 or 26mm) for better overall balance, or a racing nibbi carb (24 or 26mm) for faster riding, combined with a 16-17t sprocket (16t for better balanced performance, 17t for more top end speed), gold chain, and upgraded exhaust with muffler. You could get this bike, with it's current engine, up to 70 mph with the proper upgrades. Also remember your weight plays a huge portion, so the smaller you are, the more acceleration the bike can make.
If you are looking at this bike for an easy and manageable first bike it's a great option. I would suggest purchasing it off someone at a lower rate though. This bike is about $2000 brand new. There is a 250cc option literally for $400 more. So getting it brand new in comparison to that may not be the best option. If you can buy one use you will get a steal. Used most sell them for half the price or less. It is a full size motorcycle with a Honda grom engine that can be modified. So please take that into consideration. I do have this bike currently so I am speaking from personal experience. Experience may differ by owner, pertaining to what they were looking to get out of the bike. I would also suggest installing an oil cooler with fan for long riding, and to aid in performance.
thanks bro
Thank you for your review, You're not selling the bike so I believe your video more than a dealer. Been looking for a starter bike for my 16 year son and I think after watching your video helped me decide. Again, Thank you buddy
Thank you for your response. However if I would do this over again I would go with a rebel 250 or ninja 250 as first bike. It’s a 125cc and really easy to learn on and hardly cost a lot but I would go for a branded bike with parts easy to access and more power since this bike parts are hard to find. Hopefully this helps with your search.
Well bro that was as good as a review you could ask for and seems like your doing the right thing with your practicing and riding and then practice your gonna be a great rider just keep it up! And don’t feel like you have to go Yamaha. Honda, or etc... just go with who offers you best deal I believe once you get up to biggest bike your comfortable with then look into quality over price these a learning curve moments. You should be able to recoup most of money when you sell your learning bikes they hold value pretty good. And go buy better fuel line I know mentioned it several times like ten bucks much better then quality. And put fuel stabilizer over winter months they do that because of ethanol fuel is notorious for gumming up small carbs! You probably have small amount partially blocking choke side of carb. Don’t be afraid to contact me if you have any questions about mechanics questions. I loved your video on your first 700 mil we a be safe and w
Thanks for the response and guidance. Just been busy with work and dont have time to ride as much. Hopefully I can put some videos out this summer.
Im a new rider thank you so much a year later you helped me out buddy
glad I can help you out with your decision.
I recently bought the blue one just for fun and was surprised by how big it really is! I custom fit wire mesh in the front (behind the front tire) to hide the little engine 🤣🤣 trimmed off the long plastic chain guard, and cut off the long plastic under the plate,,, she looks like a 600 ninja now🤣🤣🤦 she makes me laugh everytime I get on her literally 🤣😍
LOL nice. I was thinking of getting a blue one also but Venom Motorsport told me it was damaged so I got the red instead. Im not a big fan of the long plastic on the sides so I might need to take your idea and cut some of the plastic.
Make a video of it

I used to own one of these bikes they are really nice. The original guy who sells this at boom international, originally put the Lifan 125 mL engine in there. The engine has a lot of tour so it’s fast on to takeoff but it does no more than about 58 mph. You cannot get it to 58 until you pass 100 miles. So I’m sure you’ve experienced that. Mine was a 2017. For 2020 I think the owner put the YX 125 engine. The YX 125 engine has a different cam profile then the Lifan. The Lifan is fast off of the line but has a low top speed. The YX motor is slower off the start but will go to 70 mph. The cheap upgrade is a cam, a carb, & a sprocket.
I have been looking for a long time but it’s hard to find the upgrade rear sprocket. If you go up to teeth in the rear and down one tooth in the front it will make the bike faster off the line but you may lose about 5 mph on the top end. You can compensate for the loss on the top end by changing the cam & valve springs. You can look for the Z 40 cam and springs kit $30-$40. It should give you about 10 mph more and about 2 hp. You can port and polish the head for about $100 and it will give you about 3 hp. Change the exhaust and it should give you about 3 mph on the top end and .5 hp. Brand is called speed park and it fits this bike. Amazon.com $40. The maximum you can go for this small engine is 26 mm carburetor. It is better to get the genuine Mikuni carburetor. There is also a nitrous kit by 6 Sigma. $100-4.5 hp. The carburetor will give you a faster takeoff, even with the stock sprocket. It’s not that fast but it is noticeable. It’s better to go ahead and replace the whole carburetor because if you just do the Jets you don’t get the air advantage. You will have to disconnect some of the omissions equipment in order to put the 26 mm on. But do you want to check if your state checks for smog first before you do it. If so go through inspection first with original equipment then swap it out but keep your old equipment for your next year inspection. They sell a device called a block off plate it goes underneath the engine on the left-hand side or driver side. You can also do a big bore kit which might be the cheapest and simplest. Whatever upgrade you do make sure to put an oil cooler on there. A realistic oil cooler, is about the size that you were see on a 600 or 700cc bike. The little ones that they sell you for 125 mL is not realistic. He’s close to not having an oil cooler on your bike. I purchase mine from AutoZone. I fabricated a bracket to mount at the top. I am the only other thing you’re the head plate would be necessary to purchase for your model engine. You have the CRF Honda based engine. So there is a plate that specifically designed for oil coolers so that you can swap it out with a part of your engine to allow oil to flow in an out of the head. I have the KLX type engine. It is the YX but a 160 CC. These already have a provision for oil cooling lines but just don’t come with an oil cooler. If you decide to go with a Zongshen 190 cc be warned that you will have to change all of the sprockets and the chain. All of the boom international bikes come with 428 pitch chain. Zongshen follows Honda with the 520 chain. Double check that number but I’m sure it’s not a 428. The good thing however is that the junction does have about 19 hp from the door so it’s nice. There is a company that I heard of with a RUclips video that reviewed the company. The guy got the whole kit for about $700. It was kind of nice because it came with the engine the manifold the carburetor and an oil cooler and CDI. That’s actually quite a lot for $700. The only problem is you will have to change the chain which is not difficult to fine just get the right length but a mechanic can measure it for you. The problem will be to match up the rear sprocket. It will likely have a Japanese equivalent but you got to search through many bikes to find out which one. It has five bolt pattern and you have to get the distance between each bolt so it will fit the rim. You also have to measure the center diameter of the sprocket that’s on there now so the new one will fit the center diameter of the rim (that you have on there). This bike the body is a clone of the 2018 ninja 400. The previous bike to this one is called boom ninja. This is the other one that I currently own. It is a replica of the 2009 Kawasaki ninja 250!!!. Because you have upgraded brakes and tires and a decent frame, if I were you I would keep the bike and just do the necessary fuel and engine upgrades and save some money. The Celimo tires are equivalent to the 300 cc class and the design is On the level of Michelin pilot power 2CT tires. For what you pay for the bike you actually get a lot. Most of the people who watch the reviews that you guys make for your bike don’t understand that a 125 will not perform like a 700 mL bike. If you know how to make the upgrades or ask then you can get close to the performance of a 250 to 300 mL bike for about half the price. And if you do the Honda-based engines like Lifan, YX, & Zongshen, you can unbolt the old one and bolt the new one on yourself. there is no engine setting to do. It will be all bolting and unbolting; easy but time consuming!!! If you want to see pictures of how I did my oil cooler or the links to any of the equipment just reply to this message and it will come to my email!!! 310-936-2044 text pics is fastest
Walakum Salam. Wow that is a lot of info but its very informational. Thanks for your recommendation. I don't know if I'm gonna do that much work on the bike since I want to upgrade to a 250 or 300. Im gonna keep and change out the carb and sprocket and keep it for short rides. Or might sell it. Thanks again for the info.
Fantastic reply my friend, very informative. Just ordered one myself today, considering the larger engine upgrade...
Nibbi is the best carb in my opinion. You just need an adapter. They have sizes for all engines.
I don't own this motorcycle , and I haven't checked , but I will ! Check What ? Check to see if an engine bigger than a 125 cc. could possibly be installed on the X22 , or the X22GT ! Maybe you should look into doing this also , if you're also wanting a Faster Motorcycle !
I think It would definitely be cool if you could just purchase a 250cc. , or a 300cc. engine , and install it on the motorcycle that you already have , and are digging ! But just wished now that it had a bigger engine , and that it was faster ! At least in my opinion I think that would definitely be a cooler option rather than purchasing a whole new motorcycle !
Good evening young man. Thank you for this information.
Vibration is always a possibilty. Fuel laquering up is always an issue.
im from illinois too and thinking about buying a bike these videos help make some more
From central Illinois. I bought the full size x22GT 250cc. Should be here next week.
Hey it’s frwosty I miss your rl streams hope ur doing well in life man
@@frost80137 thanks frosty 🙏. Yeah just been working and going to the gym. Miss streaming but hardly have anytime anymore. Maybe on the weekends sometimes.
Nice review brother beautiful bike
Thanks man. Trying my best to give what people want.
i am looking at one as a beater to get me to work and back!!!
I noticed that it's been almost one year since you uploaded this video. I am curious as to how the bike is holding up & if you have experienced any new issues so far...thanks.
No new issues so far. I just installed the 17t sprocket which makes the bike go faster but not too fast. I have to upload the video on that just need time to go over it since work takes up most of the day.
efi conversion bro no gas smeel in house
I see this video was made / posted 2 years ago..... Do you still have it ? How is it holding up ? (Or if you don't have it any longer how did it hold up and how long did you keep it?).
I've owned several Chinese motorcycles over the past ten years or more. And I currently have one. But we're looking at a 125cc ninja style for a good friend of mine. And I can get that exact bike that you have in this video brand new for $1400 + 300 shipping. Just trying to get an opinion from a few people that have actually had it. My other bikes have all been 250s. And we never had a problem with any of those
Hello. I do not have the bike anymore. The bike was fine as a learners bike. It taught me the basics of how to ride the motorcycle and the maintenance. It is 125cc so it was slow and probably go up to 55 mph maybe 60. I feel like this bike would be too easy to learn and your friend would probably want something bigger like 250 or 300cc. You would have to make sure all the screws were tight and make sure the carb has Philip head screws instead of non tampered one. After winter the bike would not start unless I give it gas so you would have to make sure the fuel line didn't have air pockets in it. Overall, it was cheap and easy to learn but I would go with something bigger like a 250 or 300cc. My opinion. Let me know if you have any questions.
I got the x22r and Im just up in Chicago. You do group rides?
DID IT COME REGISTERED
IF NOT DID IT COME WITH ALL THE PAPER STUFF TO GET IT REGISTERED?
COOL VID BIKE LOOKS SICK AS F
Hello, it did not come registered. You do get all the papers for it. You just have to go to the DMV and pay for the fee and registration.
You still have this bike? I live out in Aurora too
hey the pronlem may be is the rpm iddle screw, tight it up more and make sure it is high up like 15 to 1700 rpm ,..
I actually bought a new carb so Im gonna install which will make the motorcycle better.
I had the same problem with mine, but lately the bike keep stalling it only starts when I hold on the throttle, what do you the might be the problem?
Same issue here. I saw a YT video from their website saying "air pockets in the fuel line to the carb". The fuel line from the oil filter to the carb must have air pockets you would need to unplug the fuel line from the carb to let the gas through. Let me see if I can find the video for you.
ruclips.net/video/5ZiEEd-ByJg/видео.html
I had one an the same exact thing happened to me it’s best to double nut everything u can on the bike when u get it
I would keep this bike as a side project and do reviews on different mods?
It looks like there isn't much YT content on these bikes except for people's setup videos.
Just out of curiosity, how many teeth does the front sprocket have?
I bet a smaller one (maybe -1 tooth, so you wouldn't have to replace the chain) would easily give it +5mph
Anyways, keep it up!
I think the front sprocket has a 14 or 15 tooth. Not 100% sure but replacing it with a 17t will probably give it more speed. I think the chain will be fine but I will have to double check once it gets nicer out. I was thinking of keeping this as a second bike for short rides or something. Thanks for the sub and comment :)
I am getting the 250cc automatic version of this bike. Automatic one sounds bad because it's scooter with sports body, but I like the automatic option since I have injury and can't ride the manual one.
honestly I wouldn't mind having automatic so you just enjoy the ride instead of shifting. I will say once you learn how to shift gears you won't have to worry about stalling the bike it will become naturally to you.
I loved mine it was so fun I’m getting another one
What happend to the old 1
Hows the size of this compare to the ninja 400? Is it the same size?
Love the video I’m 17 looking for a bike I currently drive stick shift and i heard it’s the same thing on a bike! Should I start on this bike and it’s also in a good price range I live like 30 minutes from aurora which is really awesome to know someone has one
To be 100% honest, you could buy the bike but I would suggest get a 250 or Japanese brand motorcycle. It was my first motorcycle so I learn the basics on it which helped but you have to be a good mechanic to work on it which I am not. Just my opinion.
@@ItsRebel98 yea I just started on a 750cc I need something to just get around the store and stuff I was wondering if you were sellin it
Where did you get the bike from?
i have same bike as you even those led lamps , but it's called Zipp Pro XT 1250 " nah it was 50cc or 125cc but it's better with biger numbers on such bike xddd" what i wanted to ask is if your bike is literally unscrewing while driving? i mean after 200/300km i have to check entire bike since last time i notice that it felt loose like whole bike, and than i just unscrew with barehand back wheel ,and damn this plastic shell makes make sound as if u handle
a pack of water
Yeah you do have to make sure everything is screw in once in a while. I bought it from venom motorsport and the email they sent me when i bought the bike mentioned to check all screws during break in period. I do hate the plastic on this bike but I am going to sell it this spring/summer.
That's cool I have a 125cc Chopper. I wish I had gotten the Venom. My bike only does 55 mph with the 17 tooth sprocket. Do you still have this bike?
I just bought mine brand new and it struggles to shift between 1st & 2nd gear and hard find neutral did you have similar issues
Yeah Caleb, put new oil in and you just have to keep riding it to break it in. It gets better after 500 miles. But since it’s brand new it’s stiff. Same issue that I had.
Hey man where did you get yours from? I was going to get mine from venom motor sports
That is where I got mine also.
Awesome review. I'm thinking about getting the x pro 125cc. Pretty sure it's the same bike just rebranded.
Thanks man. Yeah theirs like soo many names for this bike. The official name is Baodio BD125-11. when it comes with the title. Message me if you have any questions about the bike. Ill try my best to answer.
You have any problems with the bike yet?
Besides the carb problem that I talked about during the video. None so far still holding up good.
Where did you buy this bike? I’m trying to get a cheap learner bike like this to learn how to ride and maintenance it. I don’t want to waste my money though with buying a bike that won’t run or will only run for a little while ya know?
I bought this bike from Venom Motorsport USA. Their is other websites to buy this from but I chose Venom because they have good reviews and great customer service if something goes wrong with the bike or have questions. Plus they email you what to do for the first 500 mile since that is break in period.
@@ItsRebel98 thank you, did you have to change anything when you got it? Or was it ready to run right out of the box? (Aside from obviously changing the oil and gas)
@@sheaadams9449 I mean you could run it out the box. Buy I HIGHLY recommend you put in new oil and NGK spark plug ($8 I think) because oil is shipping oil not great and they have cheap spark plug. If its your first start up I would let the bike run for 5 mins before actually going on the first ride to see if their is any noise or lose bolts.
I've got the blue one,,,,How hard did you fight to get your mirrors on !!? Nothing about mine line up correctly .... shitty welding on the tabs under the cowling , with the nuts welded on in different directions ..... or did I just get a bad one !? ... I'm gonna hv to disassemble the entire front to be able to bend things (hopefully) into position .....
That was the hardest thing to put on when I got the motorcycle. My dad and I had to use a flat driver to bend so their could be an opening to put the screws in. But everything else was easy to put on.
@@ItsRebel98 Yah, I've already had the cowl off (last night) ,,, tried bending by hand and also with hammer and block of wood ,,,, no luck so far,,,,dont want to break something , so going at it easy . just got the bike last Friday,,,fooled with it last night and it fired right up , so its a runner ..... mirrors are gonna be the battle I guess ..... ya get what ya pay for ! Chinese quality control.... thanks for the response ....
@@danlovett3697 Sure no problem. Just a heads up the bike will vibrate a lot since you just got it but after hitting 300 miles then 500 the bike feels a lot better. Plus change out the screws on the bottom of the carb they are non tampered proof and they came off while I was riding. Message me if you have any more questions Ill try my best to answer.
@@ItsRebel98 appreciate the help ,,,saw lots of videos about the carb problems ...including yours .... bought the bike for my girls bday... lookin forward to her putting some miles on it ......1st bike .....thanks again....
@@danlovett3697 sure no problem
Hey I love the bike. U can also change the motor.. u can put a 190cc engine.. bike would ride totally different..
I heard alot of people do that with these bikes. I am not a motorcycle mechanic so I would have to hire someone but I definitely got to do more research on it.
@@ItsRebel98 someone can do it for like 300 the most lol word get a friend y’all knock it out.. bike would ride good
Would u recommend this bike for a beginner?
Shxt bro lol I from chicago😅😅
What's the weight on this thing? Is it highway legal?
Well I bought this bike as a beginner motorcycle and you know it was not bad. I will say its really easy to learn on this since its cheap and not fast at all. It can go up to 55 mph but that is everything stock. I would say go for a 250cc or 300cc. But it all depends on your budget and what your use is for this bike. Would not recommend the highway since its a 125cc. dont really know about the weigh of this bike but its not that hard to pick up.
Not bad. I'd probably say this is a better bet than a z125, or Honda Grom for learners.
I would say their is a lot of aftermarket parts for z125 and grom than this bike. I feel like the grom is too small and that anyone can ride it but this is basically a grom engine in a sportbike shape. just need to replace some cheap Chinese parts with good ones and you will be alright with this bike. But yeah this is my bike for learning.
im in elgin Il lol i might grab on tbh
Hey bought the bike a month ago . how fast does urs get up too.? I did some mods to mine . got alot of power out of it.
So far I got the bike up to 55 mph (everything is stock). I got a new carb and 17t sprocket which I need to install but been busy with School. Those mods will probably get the bike up to 60s. The bike feels a lot better after 500 miles which is the engine break in period. What mods have you done?
Added performance air filter added performance muffler added performance coil bought 15 tooth sprocket haven't installed added oil cooler and fan adjusted chain to 1 1/4 free play added ngk spark plug using valvoline full sythetic oil 10 w 40w runs strong and quick have gotten up to 60mph with my wife on with together we total 265 lbs . me on by myself have reached 64mph since mods. Mods under $100 only at 310miles haven't hit 500 yet.
At 500 need to adjust valves.
@@claytonwilliams9052 Nice!!! I plan on putting on a new exhaust any suggestions? Im going to do a speed test also just need to put on the new mods. The speedo is also off by like 6-7 mph so ima need check with the GPS on my phone and my GoPro.
Yes got mine from amazon pace walker is the brand . carbon fiber with removable db killer. Good air flow also take ur pipe off the motor look in the top of the pipe use a dremmel or a file to sand down the weld in there to make the hole wide for more air flow the hole is to tiny overkill on the weld . once you look in there you will see what i mean . mine is wide open now.
did they make these in auto
Don’t think so
There’s a x22gt that’s auto
How fast does it go and how much did it cost I am kind of sick so I'm not that strong I'm going to be 60 years old and I have cancer so let me know
So far I got it up to 55 but that's with everything stock. If I upgrade the sprocket and carb you will probably hit in the 60s. cost me $2000 in total (1800 bike 200 registration and plates). Super easy to handle but its only 125cc so not too fast. Feel free to ask me anymore questions.
Hey thank you for the info you were so kind to explain yourself to me the bike looks nice but it looks like it's just a slowpoke of a bike why spend a lot of money to make it go fast if you want to spend 1700 for it but it's okay I understand stay in touch I'm going to buy me another bike so we'll talk some more God bless you buddy
@@miguelocasio5018 No problem man. But yeah after a while I notice the bike was too slow for me and I plan on upgrading to a 250 or 300cc this summer. Its my starter bike so it basically taught me how to ride.
You know you could get a name brand motorcycle that 8 to 10 years old for the same money that is a , i think 500 cc , honda , if you dont want too much power but you will have reliable ride , personally my 1100 was great for 2 people in town
Amazing looking bike not a bad bike to start out with to learn the basics of riding and mechanics i want to get one myself the speed is perfect for what I need it for if ur going to get a higher cc get a kawasaki man lol
Thanks man. Yeah I was thinking of getting a Honda REBEL 300 or Honda CB300F or ninja 250 or 300 as a second bike.
@@ItsRebel98 the cb300 bro definitely lol 😆
@@angele2217 Cant go wrong with Honda

Are you running ethenol free gas? If not stop putting ethenol in it, it will run way way better.
What’s the top speed on it
So I got it up to 55 mph so far. It could go faster with upgraded sprocket and carb which I plan on doing next spring.
@Thomas Hall yeah I bought the carb and sprocket just need time to install. Ive got it up to 57 mph but that is everything stock. Ive seen people hit 65 mph with upgrades so I will have to check that out but over 75 is hard to believe.
what kind of carb do i buy for this bike?
The stock carb is a PZ20 which is okay but not great. You should get PZ22 which Venom motorsport did a video on in their RUclips channel.
yo if you think about selling it ive been looking for a 125cc thats not a $3k grom 👀
Go to venom motorsports online
if you're on a budget and you need a cheap car special in this day and age why not do people sell cars with no titles broken down cars there's so many lemons people lie about s*** everything's really close to me basically probably less than 5 Mi 10 MI the other one is like 60 Mi or 80 me I can take the back roads over the highway to see my nephews and nieces I think it's a great deal for 2000 it's like a moped but it looks like a motorcycle
Are you using premium fuel?
Yes I use premium fuel instead of normal octane
Ethanol is no good for the bike you can burn real gas but they use in motorboats and lawn mowers and stuff like that you'll have so so so much better when it comes to leaving it set for a little while three four months is really hard on the gasoline unless you put an attitude in it. Change your plug to a Japanese plug when you'll be okay
Not an attitude an additive darn I hate this translator??!
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll definitively do that.
You won't get more than $500 out of the bike, so why not enjoy it? The sprocket is recommended, as is the 22mm carb. Mine (same motor @ Kymco K-Pipe) came with a 18mm stock. Going to 22 MM will help the bike's top end power, but it'll be running richer on low end speeds. The smaller carb helps on cold weather starting a bit also. My bike died around 7,000 miles due to electrical issues and metal fatigue from all the vibration. But it was a lot of fun getting there. Just keep checking the lower motor mounts for stress fracture. Lastly, the Motorcycle riding resource to check out is Twist of the Wrist for the hows and whys of motorcycle behavior while riding. I'm on my 4th year of riding, and I still go back to it for tips on how to correct bad habits I may have picked up. Riding a 125 like yours, cornering skills are a must as dropping 25 MPH in a corner may get you ran over!
Thanks for the information. I knew the bike would be a loss if I sold it but wanted something to learn on without breaking the bank. I will definitely check out Twist of the Wrist for motorcycle riding advice and the motor mounts to check if they are secure. Thanks again.
Zs 190 motor is good..
What’s the top speed ?
Ive got it up to 57 mph everything stock. I heard it could go for at least 65 with upgrade carb and sprocket.
If u sell it let me know
My carburetor split as well about 220 miles
Yeah the screws they have on the bottom are nontampered proof which a lot of people had the same problem with. I replaced them with philip head screws.
how long does this bike last?
Well it depends on how you maintain the bike. The Chinese parts that come with the bike are not great but okay. Switch out the carb ($25), spark plug ($8), battery ($100 I think not sure) and front sprocket ($10) and the bike will run fine. As long as you do regular maintenance and ride the bike as it should the bike should run fine. After 500 miles the bike starts to feel a lot better after break in period.
Buy a Honda 350 you will love it, maintenance is easy.
I was thinking of getting a Honda cbr250r since that is what I can afford.I wanted to get a Honda Rebel 300 but thats out of my price range right now.
i hate gasoline- Because those are the people that are always the troublemakers And the people who are not mechanically inclined
Do you plan on selling it ?
I was planning on selling it but a lot of people told me to keep it and mod it out since their isn't that much YT content for this bike. I might keep it for another year than sell it. But not 100% sure.
be 100 wit me..............
im in your same position right now ..............
did i make a good decision buying this
This is going be a long answer.
This answer is totally my opinion. As this is my first bike I think yes because I learned about how motorcycle operates and the maintenacne that goes behind. I did not know anything about how a motorcycle operates and learned on my own and watched RUclips videos. You do need to check every screw to see if its loose or missing. Change the oil right away and put higher quality since they send out with cheap shipping oil. Need to tighten clutch also. When you first get the bike its not gonna run right since its brand new. You need to break it in and the bike runs a lot smoother and better after 500 miles. I am going to keep it and upgrade it with changing out carb and sprocket and that will make the bike run better. Its only 125cc don't expect to go over 55 mph unless you change out the carb and sprocket. Im gonna upgrade to a bigger bike this spring hopefully but its a good beginner bike and teaches you how to operate and maintain motorcycle. Hopefully this helps.
@@ItsRebel98 thanks man appreciate the help 💯💪
@@GarlicPizzaCrust no problem man. Feel free to ask me any more questions.
I have this bike in black
Nice! I was thinking of getting it black but decided to get red instead.
Take out muffler out it will sound like turbo
I got an electric and I keep it in my bedroom at night
Hey man let me know if you wanna sell it, I will buy it off you.
Omg bro..I had bought the same exact bike and the carburetor busted open on me omw to work..that’s the day I said fuck that company ..need a new bike now cause that was a horrible experience with them
Honestly I had the same feeling but I just replaced the screws with Philip head screws so they wont fall out. But I understand that would be frustrating.
@@ItsRebel98 not only that it wouldn’t start at all when I first got it..I couldn’t get it onto the road until like a week after the purchase soon as it’s up n running now the carb breaks..I was so fed up I sold it instantly
@@yeaidontcare7342 Doesn't it come with a year warranty?
2 kinda of riders thoses who have dropped there bikes and thoses who will dropped there bikes
You're fuel line looks pinched get a longer one
Sell the motor and buy a 190 z's it's a direct swap out plug and play and a mackuni 26mm carb. The bike will do around 75mph. Probably read 100 mph on the dash there always off. And it's a 5 speed they also have a 212 z's for about 100$ more. Selling the 125cc should get you about half ways to that new motor intake and exhaust help a lot also. Look at grom mods all the engine stuff is the same based on the honda clones / pit bikes finding a crashed cbr 250/300 would be a great swap for cheap and you get the reliability of the Honda just in a different look ninja clone body it a lot more work though for that swap but time we'll spent when done.👌✌️👍 Mod it out you will turn more heads.
Thanks for the feedback. Definitely going to look into that and see what I can find. I was thinking about selling the bike because I want to upgrade but I also want to keep because it was my first bike. I heard a lot of people changing out the carb, motors also and putting in new motor so I will do my research on that. Do you know any websites that have that? Thanks again.
@@ItsRebel98 ya there are a couple of them but it easy just type in looking for 190cc z's or 212cczs engine and a list of sights will pop up and video hope
it will help👍👌✌️😉🤔💯
@@josephsaucedo8691 Thanks man for the help. Ima think about it if I want to mod it out or sell it.
@@ItsRebel98 if I lived closer I
Wouldn't mind buying it from you I live in California were the bike shiped from. I'll keep a look out great video ✌️👌👍💯 have you heard of a hysong it's a Korean bike company that made the parts for Suzuki now build there own bike 250cc old model but like new 10 mile or less go for 2.500$ a 650 only a couple hundred more there old stock but still like new and they do sell in the USA. Might want to look at some for the price there a lot better than venom bikes.
@@josephsaucedo8691 yeah I be heard of those bikes and saw SRKcycles did a review on that bike. I couldn’t find anyone selling those bikes near me but maybe in the future
red
They sound like a scooter not like a ninja
Anything less than a 600cc you will be bored quickly as your skills increase.
I dont wanna push my luck and upgrade to a 600cc just yet. I wanna gradually go up in CCs when I feel like im ready. Plus the roads that I ride in are usually 45 mph to 55 mph. I dont think I can fully appreciate a 600cc bike in those roads.
@@ItsRebel98 smart answer 👍 better to ride another day than play the whole “I’m bored with the power” card
Why would you buy that? Loll
It was cheap and I can afford it. A good starter bike to teach me the fundamentals of riding and easy to handle.
@@ItsRebel98 Good decision - that is exactly how one should start out. Most of these kind of bikes come with a sealed carburetor. It is best to change the car out as soon as possible. Carbs for these bike only cost about 20.00. Then the bike will be dependable and run very good for a lone time. Great bang for the buck.
A cheap ninja
