    It was because of this review I ended up buying this bike, owned for 6 months and 2500 miles of trouble free riding, passed my A license now and whilst trading in for new bike I actually had the pleasure of bumping into Mark when he was dropping of his next review bike, was good to meet u mark 👍

    Hi Mark, Great review. I have the G1 and use it mainly as a weekend ride around the Cornish roads, but it’s quite happy on longer trips too. I have nothing but praise for the Zontes 125. Put over a thousand miles on it in just over a month! That’s how much I am enjoying it. Build quality as you say is first class and I can confirm is a match for any other premium manufacturers. Value for money it’s in my opinion unbeatable. Also gets comments on it’s looks. As a first bike or weekend / commute ride most would be more than happy. Cheers.

    Cross-spoke wheels on a 125. There there's fatbars, a good dash, bar-end mirrors etc. It's a pity 150 isn't the significant size in GB instead of 125. Out here in Thailand, 150 cc bikes are common. The extra 25 cc makes such a difference. Great little bike, though. And an excellent review again, Mark.

    I've had a bunch of 125's. Always wary of Chinese bikes, but this is one I would thumbs up. My only query, and its a long running one is service intervals - these seem to be pathetic, very short gaps on mileage and costs - which in the end makes them troubling in terms of longer ownership costs. Its no use being 'cheap' if you are fundamentally not cheap at all. Doing 400 miles a tank is wonderful, but if you have to put it in shop twice in that period - lets be clear, its utterly stupid and self defeating.

I often have to give the gear lever 2 or 3 goes before it shifts, and often get false neutral going down into 1st as well. As I say, probably just my bad technique.

    Just grabbed one of these as my first bike, really enjoying it, super comfortable and nice riding position, great peg position and size I find as well. I will say one thing I noticed with my model (although I’m not too bothered) is that I seem to be missing the eco button that enables you to switch it from sport to eco mode, I’m wondering if on the newer models they maybe removed this function for whatever reason, anyone heard anything to the contrary? Mark maybe yourself?

Of course I reached a ton, but didn't we all when we were young and there was no one there as a witness. Looks like a nice bike but God knows how someone decides which one to buy.
