I'd consider it a dual sport, but move the thread if needed.
Anyone have anything bad to say about them? I'm super intrigued by the bike and seriously considering getting one. Haven't seen anyone else on here post before about owning one.

Numerous YouTube videos show them as proven to be very high quality bikes as far as Chinese bikes go. There is another brand available, the Skyteam brand is selling a clone under the Amigo brand name. Amigo is known for their lineup of decent quality scooters that are manufactured to Amigo's standards by Znen in China. If you Google 'Amigo Rocky 125' several vendors show they carry them, but like the Champion, are on 'pre-order' status. Be aware, Amigo doesn't show the Rocky 125 on their site, and in fact, carry several bikes (including a Grom clone) that are also not shown on their website. One big difference is the Amigo bikes use a manual 4-speed vs. the semi-auto of the Champion; some find manual transmissions preferable. But, all things considered, I don't think either bike will disappoint.

Wise words as always, culcune.

I own one. They are fun. we take it with us camping.
Kind of scary when you get out on the highway. You sit small.
