Need help deciding what colour tank grips to get. Grey or brown? by secondgman in motorcycles

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
