Putting it out there

[tias]

And getting ready for the laughs and comments

Just bought my first bike, a tiny 125 to run around the city and commute to work.

yes, it's Chinese.



Hopefully in a year or so it will look more like this:



Just wanted to thank everybody on here as well for all the invaluable info on this forum.
I have been reading heaps for a good time now.

Wow. It would be like alchemy, turning a Chinese scoot into a Honda.

But really, prepare to learn how to fix it. Or throw it in a skip and actually start with a Honda and learn to maintain it instead.

You have my condolences.

Is it even read legal?

Cute. Have fun

Don't leave it outside in the weather as it will deteriorate alarmingly fast.
You could buy a bike flag and fix it on the back so you don't get run down in traffic.

They make a Grom or something, may be a good upgrade..

[tias]

Hehe, I was expecting things like that and fair enough really.

If I could afford a real Honda in decent nick and actually be able to find one I would have of course, but alas, hard to find and not that much money in my pocket.
And yeah, fully road legal and lams approved. I'm pretty stoked actually.
I rode a real Honda Dax for years in Belgium so it has some sentimental value for me as well.
I'll keep you posted on future 'mods'. Or when it brakes down

@Mo NZ what do you mean by 'They make a grom'?

[blackdog]

Honda Grom.

[Mo NZ]

Gingos you have to be fast around here. ( reply to what's a Grom)

Seriously. That's a very low profile bike.
I would consider a flag - no wind up at all, they might just not see ya and dive into the gap in the traffic.
Moron's try that when I am on my Wing from time to time, go figure that??? F.F.Sake

[tias]

Ha,.. I might give it a go if I see it's too dangerous. Maybe I'll be more noticeable because people will be looking and thinking "what the f*ck is that guy doing?"

[SMOKEU]

Do a wheelie.

[wysper]

Honda Grom.

That looks fekkin cool - for a wee bike that is.

[tias]

Yeah, is there any news if these will be available in NZ? I like it!
