yeh, should be sweet, just be aware (like any chinese bike) parts will break and need replaceing and also if you havnt all ready, read the thread for the free mods you can do on here

mate that bike is nothing but pure rubbish..
you buy it and within a month youll wish ya didnt...

at least look at the atomik bigfoot there still rubbish but far superior to this 125 your looking

out of these id chase the 140 or the 160 unless your set on a 125.\
but dont chase the 150

yep it's rubbish, china bikes don't get muych worse than that and it def ain't worth $700, more like $450....

go the atomik reign bigfoot, you can get em for well under $700 and they are superior in quality in every way possible

Go the Atomik 160 Bigfoot, for that kind of money it is a great little unit and with the money you save you can get those suspension upgrades if you decide you need them

Is got conventional forks . Like the boys have said its a POS.. Sorry to say. Try save up and get something better wise. Have alook at these threads if your going to buy new:

First thing you do to the engine is drop the shipping oil and put in some new stuff:
- Shell Advance 4T Motorbike Oil - 15W-40, 1 Litre - Supercheap Auto
- Castrol Activ 4T Motorbike Oil - 15W-50, 1 Litre - Supercheap Auto

Then check your valves... VERY IMPORTANT!!:
