Hi everyone

Loving this forum so far

I'm a new owner of a 1200. Previous bike is a 125cc which I've pootled around a bit on. That's quite the difference I know. Weirdly, the 1200 is a bit easier to move around in and out of the garage compared to the (big, admittedly for a 125) learner mobile

I gotta see a picture of that 125...

But, welcome to the forum. Just remember, there's no quality control on anything you may read on site.

Haha! I'll upload a side by side at some point. It's a Zontes G1. Blah blah Chinese bikes but it is surprisingly well put together and well specced for the £.

And it is smaller in all dimensions but for some reason has a 20 litre fuel tank (!!!). Which is probably why it isn't a million miles away from the RS for ability to move it around, the weight (just 160kg dry) is all up high....

Welcome.

A mate of mine (drummer in the band I�m in) has just bought a Zontes U1! Looks like a great bike. I have warned him it is a slippery and expensive slope.
