This is a typical Chinese motorcycle up to 125 cubes, although it is assembled at an enterprise in Russia. Pretty good model in its price range, well suited for beginners and unpretentious fans of "pokatushek". Outwardly, it is stylized as a branded chopper, and at the same time it has quite good technical characteristics, allowing it to develop a “cruising” speed of no more than 95 km / h. Due to the abundance of chrome details, it looks stylish, modern, expensive, and this despite the affordable price.

  • Shortage of necessary spare parts
