I remember an article in one of the motorcycle magazines about 25 years ago where 3 editors were given $1000 to buy a motorcycle for a coast to coast ride. 2 found nice used Japanese motorcycles of some sort and the other one bought a new Chinese made dual sport from tractor supply or rural king. The two used Japanese bikes made the trip no problem, the Chinese bike suffered a catastrophic failure less than 200 miles into the trip when the connecting rod broke and destroyed the single cylinder engine. Don't be surprised if that little 125 goes kaboom, I'm sure it was built with the finest pot metal the Chinese could scrape together 😂
Came with some 'break-in' oil, you mean Breaking Oil? :p But seriously, I would do an oil change day one. The amount of rust I've found in, and on, these types of bikes, they are exposed to some rough environments and fresh clean oil change on day one gives peace of mind. As far as cheap bikes, I have two: TBR7 and a Boom Vader, both I cover on my channel. Ride safe.
I bought a "Boom Vader" grom clone, got it registered and street legal, rode it for 300 miles and the chain broke which torpedoed the engine. The engine was made with cheap composite metal, it was complete shit. Don't get this crap. Buy a used bike from a real manufacturer.
That's wild! Hell to the no... What a headache 😫. I wouldn't buy any motorcycle or car made in china. They do make good floor jacks though. 😆 This will be fun to watch!

Needs anime stickers for reliability.
Even if was a free gift, no way would I ever swing a leg over chyna🇨🇳 led sled. That’s a 30 day bomb just ticking away.
Really? Why wouldn’t you regret it? Would you ride it? Sounds interesting.
