  • 2012 model...
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 12, 2012

    I just bought a new sportcity 125 here in china. one of my chinese friends recommended it to me (more on that later), as I was needing a new scooter after my two year old 150cc qing qi scooter started to disintegrate right, left, and center.

    im not sure if this model is being sold ...

    as I said before my friend had one of these bikes, a 2010 edition, which among other things has a faulty fuel gage, off-center frame, and has, even to this day, stalling issues from the get go.

    my friend told me that all these issues had been taken care of for this new edition, and I must say, albeit early days, three to be exact, this is indeed the case. fuel gage works as it should, and there's no stalling...so far so good.

    the only point of issue I have with this bike is when after you start to decelerate, the bike slows down quite rapidly...so much so it's as though I am breaking suddenly, but im not. I read somewhere this is called running lean...not very up on mechanical phrases. however I have started to realise this is just my bikes way of saving the breaks...so no coasting :0 (

    the engine is also at a higher tone than my old 150cc, and the floor vibrations are more noticable, but it is by far a much better ride, and those 14" tyres, and side mirrors are fantastic.

    I will report back after my bike has been run in...happy travels,

    Tom.

  • Good first bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 02, 2012

    Unlike previous reviewer; have had no problems, and customer service here in Adelaide by Bill's Motorcycles has been great. Have been riding this bike now for around 3 months. The bike is excellent for a first timer, simple and fun to ride. Done just over 1300km's. It has been reliable without fault ...

    Bike is my daily commute to work, doing around 40km's a day including climbing Flagstaff Hill which is a very steep incline. On the steepest part it is able to maintain 60kmh. Gets to 80kmh quite easily now it has been run in, and I have taken mine up to almost 100 kmh. Not sure if I would want to take it any faster than that anyway.

    Achieving around 3.6L/100km when riding like grandma, and around 4.0L/100km when really giving it some juice. With me at 110kg's I figure the bike is doing pretty good. Probably for the difference in running costs might as well "ride it like I stole it" as the the techician at the bike shop said.

    Purchased new for around $3300 on road. Quite happy for the money. Let's face it- it's an Aprilia, but it's not a superbike...

    Interesting to see that Piaggio (who own Aprillia ) have released a bike almost identical apart for some aesthetic changes. In my view the Aprilia is the prettier of the two. Here in Adelaide the two are within a few dollars of each other.

  • Disgraceful piece of machinery
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 13, 2011

    I, plus one other reviewer on a different website, think that this bike is a potential deathtrap. I've only had it for 5-6 months and it stalls while you are riding it, which is really dangerous. I'm going to politely ask for my money back. If there's no refund forthcoming, FAIR TRADING NSW here ...
