I have them stacked up! I was not joking when I said I was not holding back this year haha 🙂👍

Thanks for sharing

I am really interested in this bike! Have you had any issues with your bike? My local dealer as one in black, looks great.

If Andy stocks them it means all that side of things is good as he takes the cost when things go wrong. Unlike many dealers he stocks models of bikes not brands as in the Chinese market brand is not the factor it is factory that made that bike.

Zontes are good well made bikes, but as I found to my cost nobody wants to pay a decent price for a used one (ZT310T 1 yr old in my case). Very expensive mistake.

I have a Himalayan and my partner has a little Zontes G1. She absolutely loves it, and has WAY better build quality and reliability so far. They might be similar price but I'd pick the Zontes every time.

Sadly I have not got to ride the S yet, it was supposed to happen at some point but it fell through as I think the bike was needed elsewhere or something like that.

Only the lack of punch from the engine, Here is my review kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z66GdbWTtbnJhmw.html

I do not think it would make it any more likely or easy to be stolen giving how thieves actually steal bikes. And many large brands like Triumph have it on nearly all their bikes.....However I too would still just like to have a key.

@@spicy110 i appreciate the fast response, but yeah that’s probably true, sounds like from the video this bike is worth the price, i just dont know if it’ll be reliable as i plan on keeping it for a long time, and how good is it compared to a sym NHT-300 or voge 300DS considering both of them are at a cheaper price. Again, i appreciate the fast response, thanks for the review!

it is in the pipe line if one is available.

That's because BMW's are a complete rip-off for people with no brain 🤣

@@edwardwilliammorris1340 Sssh, we need those folk to keep the economy turning over.

Like all truly keyless bikes there is a way to do that. It won't get the bike started but it will get you under the seat to the batt. Exactly now that is done on this bike I can not say but there will be a way. This comes up everytime I get a keyless system. 😁👍

On my ZT125-U I have a permemently connected lead for a battery tender hidden behind a pop off side panel just in case but never had a need for it. The dealer I got my bike from actually fit the lead to every Zontes he sells at no extra cost.

@@Mean-bj8wp good idea Batman :)

there is a charging port by the rear tyre, you get the charger with the bike

@@Bigalref1 wow, I wonder if they do a bigger twin?

They do not see you if they do not look sadly. I found out the hard way in 2012. Now I am the one looking out for them, its a far safer way to go. Not saying hi vis is a bad idea btw. 🙂👍

Nothing has changed, for many years I make motorcycle reviews over the summer and other videos during autumn and winter and spring. I will be making subject based videos too when they come up.

Andy would not sell them if they went wrong a lot, he says they are one of the most reliable Chinese brands these days.

@@spicy110 But they have a very short service interval, ie just over 3000 miles now that seems very low to me, my honda has a service interval of 9000 miles I wouldn't recomend servicing it at 9000 miles, realistically it would be around the 5 to 6 thousand mile range so with this having a short service interval of around 3 thousand miles that suggests it would actually be around the 1500 to 2000 mile range realistically, which makes it a very short service interval. Which makes me wonder just how reliable a bike like this could be with such a short service interval. Also all those electronic things to go wrong, it uses electronics to open the petrol flap, the seat, to adjust the wind shield and it only has a 5 amp output apparently. All pointing to a potentially very unreliable bike. Which is a shame because it looks nice and the price seems good. What if your battery runs down, you can't open the petrol flap, or the seat. Another concern is that tail light, as the guy from bennets pointed out, it sits way too far back and may make the bike invisitble to tall vehicles. It's a good effort but these little things need to be addressed, I was tempted as I need a new commuter but there are just too many what ifs with this bike, no manual overides.

@@spicy110 Oh just one other thing, what happens with regards to the steering lock if for some reason you lose the keyless fob thing or for some reason it gets damaged or the battery simply goes flat. Does it then mean the bike is a brick until you change the battery.

If you mean am I talking mph then yes.

Had to translate but that is a fair assessment. 👍

Where do you think most bikes electric systems are built?

Go on then, name some bike with an external bolt in a holder like that.

Screen Clutter?

KZfaq placed 4 ads it should not have shown you more than 4 and likely less. Problem is no ads no video, I have to pay my bills and run this channel you can not do that for free. That is why I have patreon for regulars.

I owned and rode 2 much poorer quality Chinese bike for 7 years. If they fall apart all the time Andy would not sell them. What went wrong with yours and did you buy it new?

I've owned my Zontes G1 for a year - rode through the winter and kept outside on the drive. You'd need a magnifying glass to find any corrosion. Only proper-washed it twice in that time. Fantastic piece of kit! 100 mpg too - great for the 60 mile commute ;) Surprisingly for a 125 it also averages 70 on the M4.
