    I love these little bikes! My first bike was a 2016 Honda Grom and after 2 riding seasons ( 5-6 months off due to Norwegian winter each season:( ) I had 35.000km on the bike! I lived on that bike, drove it for 5-6+ hours every day I could. I am 100% sure that I had more fun on that little thing than many others do on 600cc or liter bikes. I was scraping pegs, I was redlining it everywhere and just having an absolute blast. The bike was definitely abused once it was warmed up but it never missed a beat and started every time without issues, only did regular service as stated in the manual.

I do have some sympathy for it and change the oil regularly. I have also had to change out some of the cheap hardware for some quality nuts and bolts but other then that it's been flawless. My one complaint is the speedo not reading mph. It wont change from kph to mph but that's definitely not a deal breaker.

    I recently bought a Chinese ct70 clone.. used. its 10 years old and I bought it non running. The guy selling it said he didnt know what was wrong with it and i had it running in 5 minutes and I bought it for a couple hundred dollars. I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised with how it runs and drives. It's the first Chinese bike ive ever had and I'm a Honda guy. Considering what id have to pay for a street legal, running trail 70 I cant think of a scenario where i didnt come out ahead on this. that being said it will never last as long or take the abuse as a Japanese bike but on the other hand i can buy a brand new Chinese motor (obvi going bigger and bigger :) ) for fairly cheap. they have their place in the market.

    I owned a 2009 Kawasaki eliminator 125 a few years back. I bought it for $900. It had 1,300 miles on it. I used it as both a primary source of transportation, as well as pleasure riding. I put 20,000 miles on it in those two years, and the one thing that I learned from riding a small cc bike is that you'll discover some of the greatest back roads you otherwise never knew existed. It slows you down and makes you really take jn the outside world.

    From the rider view. It looks like the forks are twisted in the triple tree clamps. Like it was dumped once. If you loosened them up and jounce it. You can square the front end back up.
    Edit: could be the camera angle. But check that. And wheel bearings.

    Handlebars look bent to the left. If so, and not just the video angle, then I would suggest loosening the triple clamps twisting the front wheel/ fork tubes and retightening when you are sure its all straight. A bang severe enough to bend the handlebars is often enough to twist the forks out of alignment. Could just be the video angle..

    Ahhh....just found that a BD125-10 IS the model number for the gen2 vader, so it's a Boom Vader. Red fox powersports sells them for $849 but $299 shipping, some places sell them for 1,200-1,600 with free shipping. I found one site that has them for 989 with free shipping and lift gate service. These are fun bikes if you like to tinker and if you're willing to sink another $700-$800 into one there is a zongshen 190cc motor swap that brings top speed to 80 or 85mph. That along with swapping the front sprocket to a 17 tooth makes this a little powerhouse.
    $400??? And a box of old 80's transformers and G.I. Joe things???

It was a group of Navigators / Group of Christians that happen to be in the Military. This LT who's house I was at had a 73 Honda CB125 for sale for 60 dollars. It worked with nothing wrong but it was butt ugly. Painted in Primer red, mechanically sound. I paid the 60 and took it home. I registered it and I rode it around as it was my only method transportation, till I bought a CB350, then I got a Kawasaki H1 500, a Yamaha 64 YM250 and an XLH 1000. And Chevrolet Monte Carlo. So I had purchased quite of few bikes from guys that were getting rid of them for pennies on the dollar. The Grom seems to be a CB125 in street fighter clothes and the young kids who have gravitated to riding scooters are starting the graduate to the Grom and they have Grom Clubs. Underneath it all is't really not any different than the old CB125. Top Speed 65mph....

    I have one of these, and I love it. A set of pro taper bars, a mikuni carb and an exhaust really helps a ton on these bikes.
