Tha madass is a 125 honda chinese/ german clone / front and rear disc brakes. Unbeleivable headlights vv strong. Excellant front shocks. As a traffic vechile it is fast off the lights beating all but the most aggresive drivers easily movable thru the traffic, gear changes smooth top speed around 95 kms an hour by changing the front sprocket from 16 to 18 teeth top speed is around 105kms an hour( I have not done this yet). The bike I bought had a small problem with the air intake that caused a cut out at 90kms an hour after 2 kms this has been fixed and after a tune up I will be looking forward to many years of use although my son looks as if he has just appropriated it for his personal use ( I will buy another scooter bike although for my age I think I may just get a step thru as my wife will use this also). I have had farm bikes for 35years and postal bikes so I do not know how a good road bike should handle but this grips the road vv well and I generally stear it by moving my hips. I hope this is of some help?
