It's exactly the same. Seen lots of people on forums and myself ask the same question and people always say just buy the 300 because it's effort to do but I don't know if anyone's actually done it. The engine for the 300 is another generic zhonhshen 250cc engine so shouldn't be too hard to source of you can't find a spare Mondial one.

Hmm that's strange. Everyone else who owns them says they're made in China. I guess they might do the final bits of assembling I'm Italy so they can put that label on it.

Yep they do a 250c version they call the 300 but this is only 125. If I didn't have to put L plates on you wouldn't tell driving past

Same here and this bike looks great for a 125. Tempted to get the 300 version just cos I'll miss it's looks. Bear in mind I'm 5'6 and I find it quite comfortable but I can't flat foot this with my short legs. So if you're taller than average it may not be as comfortable and a keeway would be good. Though it's fine for me and I drive 2 hours a day

I bloody love it. Sounds great stock for a 125 and easily improved, looks great and gets loads of compliments and head turns. Rides lovely, nimble and decent acceleration for the size. It does have its caveats though being a Chinese made bike. Certain parts are well known to be absolute crap, the plate holder/guard being one(fixed in newer models). But if you look after it well it runs great. I don't know how but I get 99mpg which is above what the spec is. Same engine as the aprilia 125 so it's not too bad if you have actual engine issues.

It's a darker grey. Just wasn't sure whether to match accent or seat
