My son bought a brand new Pulse Adreneline 125 last year (Sept) and it is the biggest pile of poo on the planet.
After falling off once at low speed causing superficial scratches, the bike has:-
One fork seal gone
Tacho not working
Exhaust come away from the head x 2
Rear indicator fell off
Body side panel left hand one retainer peg snapped off
Indicator switch fell apart
Right hand pillion grab handle snapped off
Now the starter is not working and I reckon the battery’s goneThese are also branded as ‘RMR’s and SuperByke
Save yourself dosh (£1700) and buy a Rickshaw
BTW The trade cost to the dealer from China is £590 for the bike (DVLA sent us the import invoice as the dealer didn’t fill it in correctly, so we saw the outlay and import costs)[
]most of that damage would come from falling off anyway, however ive made the same mistake in the past and yes they arent built to the best standards. i found that most of the metal on mine went rusty within a year….not v good at all.
They look the part.I have been tempted to buy one of these ultra cheap Chinese produced 125s out of curiosity…the cheapest ones I have seen are CG125 copies for about £600, but you have to do final assembly yourself.
TBH you are not the first I heard to be let down by the quality of these machines.
I suppose the best thing to do would be to buy a Yamaha YBR125 or Honda CBR125/CG125 that is about a year or two old. They are much better quality if not as funky looking.
Anyway scouser, how is the big F6C going?
Still enjoying the F6C Radar, went to Matlock the other week but the missus thought it was a bumpy ride on the rough bits / potholes, I sinced realised I can higher the suspension as I thought it was maxed out, and correct tyre pressures helped and its much smoother now. Have been going to work on the beast weather permitting, I do miss the Varadero though. Good new is I can still filter through traffic and the bottom end grunt is great, the exhaust note is sweet especially in a tunnel with my windows down!

You will have to pop down to the south midlands and show me those electric windows!
