My first bike. Yes it’s a chinese one, yes being a heavy cruiser style and 125cc it’s slow. No I don’t care about either of those things. This thing is so much fun and surprisingly comfortable. Going to enjoy learning the basics on it.

It’s one year old and has about 4000 miles, £800 with a lockable box thrown into the deal. Been really well maintained by the previous owner. Runs great. The taped on L plates are temporary, I’ll be mounting some proper plate ones shortly.

That’s crazy cheap. What would a new one cost?

£1600-£1800 depending on spec and the dealer.

It’s called a Lexmoto Ranger here but in it’s home country it’s a Zongshen 125.

Insane depreciation then. More than half the value lost after one season of recreational driving. It would almost insinuate it’s a POS. Or the name just has a bad reputation due to being unknown.

I guess you did good there Josh.

They have a bad rep because they require a bit more preventative maintenance than an equivalent japanese bike. The typical owners of these things (17 year olds) never do said maintenance and the bikes wear out rapidly. If you’re religious with oil changes, valve adjustments and chain adjustments they’re actually fairly tough.
