Yep, top one or the third one. Forget the 2nd one

Nothing wrong with the Chinese bikes, I used to have one myself, cheap and reliable machines to be honest. They usually use Honda Engines, although I've seen one or two with old Suzuki engines as well.

You're next Jim, start booking your test-ride for a VN

thats a wide mix of bikes, couldn't have picked 3 more different ones really. Dont ever buy an imitation bike, they are all look and no performance. get a cg125 or somthing like that, far better bike.

Sorry, but thats wrong. I had a Jialing which had a HONDA XL125 Engine. Same performance as the Honda

Plus realistically, most people move on from 125's so why get an expensive one. These chinese bikes are so cheap NEW that you can't go much wrong.

well this will be her first ever bike she dont need performance, so once her test is passed she will move on up

That would work, as she doesn't need performance

I'd go for number B.

Too much chrome/weight on the cruisers.

I agree with Chris on cheap chinky bikes. They can be as good as any Jap 125.
Ali has a Jialing JH125 which I ride to work if its raining, so that's most of the time. It's stood up to last winter ok and a slide down the road which only broke the mirror.

And it looks way better than any 4-stroke 125 except the Honda CBR.

The only black spot is spares availability but not really needed any so far.

Also chrome is so smooth there's less wind drag = less petrol
