[AceOfHearts]

Yup, i just bought one . . .

Pics or it didn't happen

[Bailey93]

They certainly look interesting, less conventional approach to the grom style bike

[AceOfHearts]

Better pics to come after a good clean. Its a 2008 model, totally standard with 1600 miles

Plan is to stick it on a rack on the back of the landy for my impending European trip

[Prof Prolapse]

Is this from the same guys that make the springs?

It's interesting, looks like someone diligently welded a bunch of scaffolding poles together.

Yup, my first 125 at 17 was a Sachs XTC which is where i heard of these. Its a funny little machine, the main part of the frame is actually the fuel tank

[Prof Prolapse]

Ah I see that now. Reminds me a lot of my mates Puch Maxi.

How do we know this is yours? This could be a random picture. I call custard.

MCN not big fans of it, which is unusual as they seem to love everything.

It does look a bit bonkers, like someone built it themselves in their garage with bits from a strimmer and a cheap mountain bike.

I want one now !

[Donbot]

I like that.

Don't know why they keep banging on about how slow it is. From the stats it appears to be about as fast as you would expect an air-cooled 125 to be.

Google claims the pic doesn't appear anywhere else on the internet, which either points to the OP telling the truth, or he's lusting so bad he's snapped a pic of one parked up somewhere.

But will the OP also claim the Fiat Seicento with horrible aftermarket hubcaps it’s parked next to?

No the picture was taken at the sellers house haha

[gregs656]

I haven't seen one of those for years.

So you say.

[Benni]

Is this powered by an original Honda lump or a chinese copy ?

If Honda, go for top drawer Takegawa parts, if chinese, shoehorn a 190 ZongShen in,

either way OOracing may help on the way to more grunt.

I used to sell these back in the day, Funky looking bike, not at all nice to ride at all !! Very heavy and stiff suspension.

Had loads of warranty claims mainly on electrical items, I think we sold 4 of them and I know that one of those I had to buy back off the customer due to issues !

They also used to do a 125 sporty bike with a Suzuki clone engine which was also a disaster, not sure where they were made China or Taiwan would have been my guess, they were imported via 3 X motorcycles.

[Fleegle]

The 125 sporty bike was the XTC. It came with a four stroke Suzuki engine. They were made in Germany


Mitzy had one. Very pretty but the most uncomfortable of bikes to ride
