my new-ish jinlun jl125t-10

i remember seeing that on TV but you gotta be pretty thick to think that ull get a brand new scoot for pennies without having to put it together or register it yourself, that's why most scoots are nearly 1k because the bike showrooms put it together and stuff lol, luckily mines 4 years old and the engine's in good condition.

Even allowing for the expected poor quality and the "build it and register it yourself" issues, (which originally I picked up in about 3 milliseconds from their own website without trying), it looks like I got a lucky escape.
We have a similar company in Cheltenham called Red Scooters, which sell Chinese imports at a fraction of the cost of a main dealer price, but at least they're built, and you can walk in and thump someone if neccessary. Not that I have a commercial interest in them or have ever dealt with them to be honest, but I did go and have a look at the time.

Edit: Actually, I've just checked them out and I got the name wrong, it's ScooterRed.com, but, hey, I was close enough.
I also notice that they no longer advertise the cheap Chinese rubbish - maybe they got burned...

You got a good deal for your £50 Anton.

This one is more comprehensively buggered and went for £320 on ebay!
