This bike is fun to ride, for about half an hour, I´m not a teara*** but i like to ride them as quick as they´ll go from now and then. As standard the bike went about 50-55mph (deristricted)but wouldn´t stay there for longer than 20 seconds, also compared to my malaguti drakon it dosn´t handle worth a damn! The standard tyres are pretty thin and tear easy. i put it to the edge of the grip and couldn´t get my knee down (I know this sounds like too much to ask of a 50 but it´s what I do) where I could on the malaguti, however that did have pirelli sport demon tyres(slightly better grip and much more durable) and it was a naked. Overall I would say this bike is NOT worth buying, you dont get what you pay for because its only good for 200-400 miles if you push it to the limit. And yes before I get bashed by aprilia fanboys it is the fastest 50 you can get if you tinker with it and upgrade it but it still isn´t reliable, but on the upside parts are cheap because they are common(another downside, every other small-engined bike is an aprilia, they´re the chavs choice of geared 50/125.) |
