The Madass is a sweet little bike. My wife has the 125 and she loves it. Check out these pics!

Don't know if you're looking to buy one, but you'll like it ... just be prepared for some TLC. The 125 suffers from some build quality issues (and yes, it's chinese-built). The carb is cheap, with a plastic throttle tube guide and wonky floats. The switchgear is brittle plastic. And the frame bolts and lock washers are low quality steel with poor threads, so the nuts loosen and break under torque.

And did I mention she loves it?

So I found a $30 mikuni carb and I'm replacing bolts one by one. I'm going to replace the clutch cable pretty soon and am looking for replacement switches since the choke cable mount broke.
