If it takes £8 to fill it up and holds 10 litres, cost of petrol is £0.80 a litre. My SH125i does 200 miles on a tank and holds a little more than the claimed 7 litres. Impressive bike for the price.
nice bike Gary i have a Yamaha yzf r 125 and only go out on weekends and not in the rain even though i live in the north east where its mostly raining, im quite happy on my bike have decided not to go for full license,last time i had a 125 was in the 80s and decided to get another one probably mid life crisis but i am happy great video very honest bud
Hello. Thanks for sharing your experience with the bike. Im considering getting one and I'm heading to a store to check this one and the Kove NK125R. In Portugal the Honda CB125R is around ~4600 GBP, or the Yamaha MT-125 almost 5000, not even considering the gear. This one goes for half almost (~2700), so it is a lot more appealing. The rusty part kind of worries me alongside, and more important, the services and availability of parts, if needed. I'll try one myself next week.
Interesting video there Gary. Its a good looking 125, thats for sure. Might be worth a squirt of Lanoguard in the bits prone to rust to keep it at bay, the rust looks to be in parts where the dirt accumulates and holds the moisture.
The voge might be the top shelf on the chinese market then. There a lot of ex dealers of chinese bikes like Neco and Zontes. I spoke to them and the electrics just disintegrates on these bikes. When Neco went from a suzuki engine to a chinese one he ended the dealership as he didn't want to spend his time on even more problems. One might not have problems within a year or 2 years but after that it is problem after problem. And you can't resell a bike that way without mentioning it. They also make the speedometer not very correct. When it shows 90 kmph it is only like 83 kmph your going. It might also be not very correct on the japanese but much closer to the real speed one person is driving. The Voge might be top of the range for chinese. And what is misleading is that reviewers are not owners of these bikes on a long term. Your bike is not the cheapest of the Chinese but again you get what you pay for i guess.
Every bike benefits from WD40 or ACF-50 due to the English climate. NB: Considering that LONCIN (parent company of VOGE) manufactures the F800 and F900 engines FOR BMW, as the OEM manufacturer, one would assume that LONCIN know how to manufacture an engine. The R125 engine is a completely new design, by LONCIN, based on the same engine manufacturing experience.
Yeah i use a protective spray on but obviously it hasnt been any good unfortunately. Yeah they are using the f900 engine in the ds900 that releases soon in uk. I did hear that the ktm and the r125 are built in same factory but as i have no real evidence i cant say for sure

Very nice ! Sadly, not available in Romania. Do you happen to know if it has an offset cylinder ? It is a cloned engine?
how many km has the bike? do you think is a good bike for a long time? looking for this one and i want to make sure this bike lasts a long time
Mine has 600 miles on and i couldn't say about longevity yet as ive only owned it for a year myself

Hi yeah i need to soak it in something better then the protection stuff im using
@Garysbikingadventure can you let us know how you get on treating your rust problems? And how you find what products you use?
ive used mine in rain and out quite often on it. that acf50 stuff is a life saver
Great video mate. Looking at getting back on a bike after 25 years 👍
Hi Gary, just wondering what helmet it is that you have? Heard you mention it before on a previous video but can’t remember the name of it now
Its a scorpion exo391 i believe
Informative video Gary for a cheap bike they seem ok which insurance company did you use that's a great price
Principal insurance i believe they are called
nice bike mate ! I thx for sharing🏍V
our bikes have actually been featured in a magazine about being the best bang for buck 125cc bike
as for the rust issue, as soon as i got the bike, i put acf50 all over the bike every month
as for the gears, it wont shift to 1st while stationary. should always shift into 1st gear before you come to a stop
scorpion now have exhausts for these bikes if youre interested
Hi, what camera do you use?
Hi its a insta360 with the 4k module
@Garysbikingadventure thanks, the review after a year its great have the same bike in black, rides nice for a learner.
I have a Hyosung and a Sym an honestly all bikes rust the trick is to coat everything in ACF-50 like everyone says that stuff is great
Yeah i bought some gear but seems to of not worked
Hi thank u for review will go for yamaha mt
They are nice bikes enjoy 👍🏻
Ho la stessa identica moto
What does the “L” stand for?
In the uk if you ride under a cbt licence you must ride with a L on the front and rear
I got a ZONTES 125-U for the same price.
They didnt have them up here unfortunately
@@Garysbikingadventure Well its cool, I hope your bike serves you well and keeps going good for your next upgrade mate.
Basically a KTM Duke 125
But faster 😉

Will just have to see but my view stands right now its the best bike on the market for a 125cc 🤷
