HELP! Is this a good buy?

So he says it's an SDG with a GPX 125 motor. Oil cooled. No idea how many hours on motor but runs perfect and starts first kick with good compression. He wants 750 firm. I live in the desert so oil cooled is a big plus

Welcome to Miniriders,

The bike looks pretty clean.
The engine is an older GPX125 model, the new ones use a different clutch cover
That cdi looks like a cheap china one which can be more trouble than they're worth, Stock cdi's usually go better and last longer.
How much is an equivalent bike new where you live ?

Drop in and Introduce Yourself here too

Cheers,Craig

Thanks for the reply, Craig. It looks like the only ones in stock here in Vegas are SSR. Anything else is order only. The SSR's are brand new but likely just air cooled. I'm not sure what in should do. 750 seem fair?

You have to be a bit wary of used bikes, worn out parts etc.
But then again i have never bought a brand new bike.

The only one i could find that compare's it to the other SSR is this, but it only has a stock Lifan 125 in it.
I like the newer TTR style plastics, and the USD forks of the newer bikes

The SSR's are brand new 550 for 70cc and go up to around 800 for the 125

Okay so that's about 300 more and not oil cooled, but it's brand new. I don't think those are available here in Vegas unless I order. It looks like all the usual wear parts are quite new. One of the easy ways to tell on the big bikes are the signs of boot wear on the frame and other parts that don't generally get replaced, like the kick start and pegs. The bike looks like it has moderate to low use...but that's only a guess.

Wow! Great find, Craig! It looks like this may be the ad he originally posted or the ad in which he originally purchased the bike. He claimed he bought it in Utah. He also claimed that he put a new chain, filters, rear tire, and grips on it within a week of posting the most recent ad. It does clearly have a new rear tire and different grips from the pictures. Maybe he posted that one originally and then put the work in?
