Chinese bucket bikes?

**gav** · 13th September 2006, 20:20

Some of these Chinese bikes are starting to get almost look quite good. Check this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...n-69578335.htm
Obviously styled on a CBR600RR, actually doesnt look to bad apart from the swingarm, which looks abit dodgy. Make a cool bucket, shame as these people bringing them in can't get them vinned, so can't ride on the road. Wonder how they go compared to a FXR150?

125 chinese four stroke = Slow as hell.

Suspension would be like two rusty bed springs for sure.

But its all about the image peoples!

lol cute lil bike hmmm

wouldn't be as fast as the FXR, why? because this one is only air cooled, etc and presumedly single cam , 2 valve. It is probabally a pitbike motor in a flash looking frame.

Looks pretty sweet though

Nice looking bike.

The ultimate bucket would have to be the Hyosung GT 125, a bit heavy, but a nice little 125 cc V-Twin engine that will pull to 110 kmp/h with stock gearing will do fine on a small track such as Mount Wellington. Change the gearng to have the bike top out at 70 kmp/h - would pull more than a school boy!

Specifications

14.21 HP of Power
9.70 Nm of Torque
150 Kg approximate weight, could be reduced by 20 - 30 KG easily.
5 Speed Gear box
Front and Rear Disc Brakes, or you could put twin discs on the front easily as there are already mounts.
150 Rear and 110 Front tyres

On that bikes high-tech next generation instrument assembly distance travelled shows 21km, as the owner states, yet the trip meter shows, if I'm not mistaken, 120km. Whats up with that...

No they wont be the FXR aint the fastest bucket around the CBR is way cooler and that made in Thailand same as China both just getting into making bikes and its suspension aint a set of soggy rust they actually alot better than the FXR and handles better and goes better and sounds better

Holy shit, a 125 weighing in at 150kgs!?

The instrument cluster on on that bike looks uber shit, sorta like those you find on oldschool stationary cycle machines. Can't say the rest of the bike looks very good either, anything over a short glance and the poor quality just seems to show through even in a photograph.

I know my FXR aint the fastest.

as far as i know, Tailand isn't China Numbnutz

The CBR Goes and sounds better because of the after market Full titanium system and carbon can. But its a honda, so it's gay. A bit like you

I'm sorry but you're not qualified to make a Statement about handling.

Leave that to the people who ride fast. Like nathan or jay.

Specifications

14.21 HP of Power - Yeah right
9.70 Nm of Torque
150 Kg approximate weight, could be reduced by 20 - 30 KG easily. - Way to heavy
5 Speed Gear box - Meh
Front and Rear Disc Brakes, or you could put twin discs on the front easily as there are already mounts. - Buckets don't need twin disk. Just more weight

150 Rear and 110 Front tyres - Way waaaayyy to big. wont get enough heat in the tyre.

Don't Buy a Hyosung today!
