    Yeah they've been knocking those things out for a while. Must be a few broke farmers not able to afford an AG bike around.

    Even the cows would be laughing at you.

    Allow wheels + cow shit = corrosion
    Low slung (chrome) pipe = dirt trap = short life
    Rigid blinker stems = fail

    having ridden one as an offroader in rarotonga (wasnt supposed to) the biggest letdown is the rear brake pedal that hangs far too low under the muffler and it hits the ground thus releasing the brake going downhill on even semi roughish ground. that and the terrible seating position for offroad use

    Been a long time since I was farming, but if I was I'd be tempted a chinese import, like the Forza 230 cave weta had, throw a decent sump cover on there, add grease nipples to the linkage & you've got a 230 that is cheap as, actually handles with some capability, but is cheap enough you can have a spare.
    A GN125 would just look plain naf going around the sheep, you'd never be able to go to the pub again.

    Probably aimed at the same sort of people who would buy a Lexus RX300 or Cadillac Escalade as off-road vehicles

    they work not to bad, very low seat height, better headlight than most farmbikes,

    not everyone's cup of tea, but some dealers have sold a heap,

    the alloy rims won't be any worse than steel spokes and rims for lasting in Mud,
