Howdy, eyeballing a 125cc

emericareaper2 · 08-07-2019, 11:23 AM

Hello! I've been eyeballing a 125cc for a few months for my wife & I to drive around here & there. Possibly to work if it's nice! I'm trying to find out if there is a difference between these two for sale.

Looks like the exact same bike but one is significantly cheaper.

I'd love to pick one up & just enjoy. I've owned some crazy cars & worked on them for the past 10 years so fixing shit is a normal past time for me. I'd also like to upgrade a few things with my wife! Thanks!

Welcome aboard!. They are the same bikes. I would avoid redfoxpowersports. We already had a few members having a bad experience with them. We had a few buy from belmontebikes with no issues and a few from powersportsmax with no issues. https://www.powersportsmax.com/index.php/cPath/482_488

Consider the Bintelli Beast 150 . . if there is a dealer in your region. Probably slightly better factory quality control, and they offer an online parts resource.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation!

If budget allows I would look at the KP150 mini. 5 speed and much faster with a 2 year warranty to back it up. http://shopapmc.com/New-American-Lif...very_p_57.html

Welcome to here; I wouldn't hesitate to direct you to call Kronik Racing. Top notch local to L.A. dealer and now he ships nationwide. I have been to his shop a few times, and he is an expert on pit bikes and the Vader; not to mention modifying. A few members have bought bikes from him, but more importantly, have upgraded/modified their bikes with parts bought from him--he knows this line of bikes and his prices compete with the no-soul online dealers.

Pete is the owner and he will talk your ear off

He shows a few versions of the Vader on his site, as well as the retro style bike with the 17/17 wheels which might be worth checking out:
