Excellent review! I bought one of these and its superb I utterly love it, like you said its so comfy , nice size if your a big chap like me. Just great, Ive got rid of the safety bars as I think it looks better but its such a great looking bike and looks like a much bigger bike than it is.

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.

Great review. Only two things that bother me. No centre stand and only one colour. I’d still like one.

Impressive engine power statistics, rivalling Japanese bikes

Lovely little cheap run about. I have a ZZR1400 and it hasn't even got a fuel gage. 400 miles on a tank.....I do like that on this bike.

Recently got one of these. I also have a 2021 Honda CB125R. The gearbox on the Zontes is much, much better than the Honda which surprised me. Overall a more substantial bike and the sound is amazing. Don’t get me wrong, the Honda is also a great bike but just stunned by the quality and ride of the Zontes G1.

I will buy my first bike and I can’t choose between g125 and cb125r.. Zontes is cheaper and have a couple of extras but a Honda is a Honda and I think more beautiful too… tough decision..

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.

Should probably put some bungs in the end of them horns where the hand wind shield is meant to screw on. That's why the front brake has a ball on the end. So it doesn't pierce you as easy

Now I’ve done my CBT this is on my list. Spec wise it is up there with the £4K 125 bikes from the likes of Honda and Yamaha.

@@ryokan9120 hi again....zontes are one of the best Chinese bikes available....as long as they are well maintained,cleaned lubed and looked after they are durable machines....I have heard of a few niggles but mainly only on bikes poorly maintained...most Jap bikes are built in Asia these days anyway Best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 Many Thanks again! I think I might go for one of the Zontes 125s after watching your videos.

Question for those who have had one. Would you recommend this bike for someone over 6ft. I am 6ft 4. Having issues finding the right bike.

Im 6'2" and 19 stone its the only bike I found where I don't feel like a gorilla on a unicycle if that makes sense, also have a 32" leg I find it really confortable.

Does this come with a 2 year warranty as I would buy one and after a year part exchange it for the next one up. Definitely would part exchange for my euro 5 lxr 125 which has nearly 2k miles and has a top box fitted so looking to sell for about £2,500

I was going for the Suzuki GSX S125 but to be honest the Zontes 125 chinese version has more technology, its got dual channel ABS (the suzuki doesnt have that) if your buying it brand new its £1,000 cheaper than suzuki and its got a slipper clutch to!! (suzuki doesnt have that on 125) wow.
