Produced by Brighton-based Sinnis, but manufactured in China, the Trackstar is a cheap, trendy 125cc alternative to the CG 125 or the Virago. It’s very easy to control and manoeuvre, making it an attractive option for learners or novice bikers. It’s also got the looks and charm to interest scooter riders, commuters or city-dwellers who are won over by its unassuming, low-power appeal. Price is the biggest selling point, at £1,549 new it’s unparalleled, and if sales take off Sinnis may just redefine our perception of Chinese-made bikes.

Thoughts on a First Bike?

Is it made in the Jin Leng (sp?) factory ? If so they have been producing bikes for quite a while now & are getting better & better.

Sinnis is the UK arm of Jinan Qingqi MotorcycleCo apparantly

Because it's a cheap piece of **** which is essentially a massive mess of counterfeit parts made out of low grade metal which will rust away and fall to bits.

Is it though?

Anyway I have decided to get a Suzuki RV125 Van Van

Did my CBT today

Yes it'll fall to pieces in 3 yrs and be worth a fart, good choice on the VV though

Perfect for my commute into work on the country lanes in the sun :cool:

Yes, it is!

Much more like it!

However... any particular reason why you decided against doing a DAS course and straight onto a bigger bike?

I just fancied getting a 125 for the summer and save on fuel and miles on my BMW E46. I ave been promising myself to do the CBT for years and never got around to it...I did it today and really enjoyed it.

Where I live I have no interest in going fast...Tbh I do that much motorway driving for personal reasons it will be nice to pootle along and enjoy the scenery on the way to work :cool:
