I Bought an atomik from those guys and i couldnt get a better bike than what i paid for($885) .only one froblem for me which is electric start but other than that my bike rips. loud bikes they are LMAO. only difference to the one you want is that mines the 125cc version with no usd forks. about the engines i dont think they are like hondas at all, its just bs they write to get people to buy their stuff, but i do think ducar uses the honda equiptment to make the engines thats about it, i wouldnt compare ducars to HONDAS, in reliability and performance, but dont get me wrong its a great bike. hope this helps 8)

thanks heaps for the reply man.
hows your ride going? any dramas with it atall?

 

[farts_are_funny_aus]

ducar and lifan are the same design as the Hondas eg ct110

 

[gazza2003au]

i havent seen a shop yet saying these motor are honda or even assembled by honda but they are a honda copy and some parts can be interchangable

 

[knibbsta]

i think they use the old honda tooling
(maybe 10 year old tech)

MY BIKE HAS HAD NO MAJOR DRAMAS ONLY THINGS WAS THE ELECTRIC START WHICH IISNT WORKING, AND THE FORK SEAL WORE OUT($10.00)

 

[knibbsta]

yeah my 125 rips and i thrash the shit out of it :twisted:
only problem is no electric start it stopped working after about 3 weeks
thats no prob though it kicks first go anyway :!:

i also bought the same bike as dirt bikes and pocket bikes (in pic below)

and havent had any dramas except that my fuel filter was cracked a little and i rang them and asked for a new one and 2 days later it arrived.

they are really good guys.

 

[illusivedreams]

The motors are not really simillar to the CT 110 but more a copy of the 70's.
The ducar motors are OK.We use them in our bikes no major issues. Possible long term oil leaks will arrise but its a cheap problem. We stock the gaskets for the ducar motors either way and will only cost you $10.

The 3v is great of the mark. I find, it will hand it to the bigger 125cc bikesof the mark. But after abput 40km/h the 125cc will eat you.in simple terms.
Get your self a Mikuni carb and you will scare alot of riders on the 125 promise.
Enjoy
YOu baught yourself a great bike

Hey,
I herd that semi-auto u have some problems and its a bit more hassel to fix if u have problems with Clutch or something.
Id go with Manual... Thats what i use
