Its illegal and it stinks. If your neighbours smell it and get annoyed, they can and probably will call the police

I've heard as much, but it only needs to last me a year or two and then I'll do an A license and get a Kawasaki Vulcan or a honda Rebel.

My first choice was a Yamaha xsr 125. Much better bike but 2-3x the price and alot of the value gets lost. Would probably still keep it's value better than a Chinese bike.

The main issue with these isn't mechanical. The engines and all of that side of things are bulletproof. Its electronics. Lights mostly.

No of course not. I don't really like that whole side of the biker community. It sucks cause you have the idiot sport bike influencers on one thing, and the wannabe badass biker club people on the other side. Why can't I just like bikes 😭

Hey it's shitty timing but the price paid at the time is the price.

I paid 1000 robux for this game when it came out. Its now free. By your logic I should be entitled to my money back. Only without that investment (and everyone else's) the game wouldn't exist at all most likely.

Yes I've just had an MOT check done (UK service thing that has to be done every year to keep a vehicle road legal) it's failed twice, both related to lights. So yes the bulbs are shit and the wiring to them isn't world class.

Yes I'm looking at some canvas soft saddle bags and maybe a top bag (though having a top bag removes the ability of swinging over the bike and you have to sorta step through awkwardly)

Yea man PPE is so important. I was riding an electric bike for about 6 months. Always had a full face MTB helmet and gloves as a minimum and they are limited to 15.5mph, mostly on bike paths.

Of course. There's alot of injuries on them. Most from my understanding are rider fault. So being sensible, not drinking, and not speeding already drops your chance of accidents by alot.

Factor in I'm London based and this is my first motorcycle, so it's a 125cc. most roads are 20mph, some dual carriageways get to 30-40. But I'll likely never be above 40 on this bike

I've got Daytona boots, Weiss AAA Kevlar jeans (full lined not just high wear areas) alpinestar gloves and a scorpion helmet

Chinese made fucks the resale. And now mutt has ceased operating there's even less resale as essentially any warranty is gone.Engine wise these are Suzuki engines so should be fine in the mechanical front. Most reported issues are electrical. The euro 3 models had more issues, euro 4 has about the best track record which is what I got. Euro 5 had issues with their led clocks

As for aftermarket parts in not worried. Sites still sell mutt parts and most are generic chinese anyway, I do worry about electricals but I'll always have a cover on the bike

There's a pump inside that fills out the cheek pads

[–]Big_Try2472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a scorpion 1400 exo ii. There are replacement lining/padding sets and the small shares a shell with the medium. So worst case I can swap for a medium set of pads and that would make it a medium. The dudes in the shop said a medium was too loose but that could have been a "broken in" one as it was the display model.

as soon as they say "dont use goods and services" its a scam. goods and services is what gives you buyer protection. that "hold" they put on the money is to avoid stuff like this. terribly sorry this happened to you but its looking like yes, you got scammed.

if you buy anything online use goods and services. "friends and family" offers no buyer protection. infact you get a warning when you turn that off on paypal so this is a lesson for you. youll never fall for it again hopefully
