The price is right, although it could be a few hundy to get it sent up from Nelson.

This would be sweet if the price stays low:

Anyone know anything about the EN125? It looks like a cross between a GN and a scorpio:

This looks interesting:

Wassup with the engine?
Loncin Enginges - quotes from their website:

"Powerful pumping makes your life immaculacy"
"Life goes on even when power goes off"
"Creating the world famous-brand products"

I love engrish!

Don't think I'd trust these guys to make a quality engine...

SR would be hard to find parts I think.

Btw FXR is very slow on straight, ask EJ. He knows about it

EN is chinese made sportier version of GN125. It suppose to be not so bad budget bike but I remember that one of the member here had problem with clutch cables.

Good luck finding one for you! Next time let me know, I wanna come and have a look too

Wasn't that a GX125? The issues he had were more a reflection of the owner, not the bike.

Ah yes but technically it's exactly same but different name.

LOL true, strange that he belived that clutch only can goin half way on that particular bike. But meh you guys bashed him hardcore, he won't come back to SMC!!!

[motorbyclist]

but make sure they get viewed first, even if by a random KBer

loncin engines are chinese... cheap replicas of honda engines but now it looks like they might be changing the designs somewhat. i'll be steering clear until i see one that works as well as a real honda


the FXR is a very good first bike

with all due respect, EJ isn't a pro h4x rider, so take "aw not fast enough" with a grain of salt. thrash a clutch right and any "slow" bike ridden properly will match or beat a "fast" bike being ridden by a novice

an fxr kept me happy all summer while i fixed my NC30

ie, who needs to get over 120kph anyway? it'll outcorner everything else the SMC has if you ride her right

if you're talking about straight line speed or just acceleration any bike under 600cc could be considered slow

[JBJB]

Not wanting to knock the GN too hard (cause I may end up with one), but I'd rather have an FXR cause it actually looks half decent. According to specs (which I know are almost always wrong) FXR has to lug 5.86kg/hp, whereas on a GN each horsey is pulling 6.26kg. Surely better handling and braking would put the FXR above the GN?

[motorbyclist]

sure does!

although, the gn seat is better

and the torque output is really what people should be interested in

Just got this message regarding this bike:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-183267219.htm

"You are welcome to come and look at the bike, in the evening or at the weekend. We are in Henderson, I am using the bike to commute to the City so if you preferred we could work out a time during the day."

Anyone free to check out the bike either tomorrow during the day or early next week? Either that or this weekend?

[JBJB]

RE: the bike above

Anyone free before 8.30am, at 5pm or between 1-2pm tomorrow? 110 Symonds Street, opposite the Langham Hotel.

Otherwise I can work out a time on Saturday.

[Squiggles]

Wholly crap thats an expensive FXR
