Good, but cheeping out in the wrong places
So, I had a Sinnis Terrain 21 euro 5 125cc. Had it for just over a year and to be honest, it was a good little bike.. EXCEPT.... The stock tires were downright dangerous. Stock chain... well that went in the bin fast. Stock break pads and disks.. two modes.. All or nothing. Headlight... beyond useless. All of these I would consider safety defects. Yes, I know the bikes are cheap... But guys.. come on.... You are selling these to learners, who are going to be inexperienced, over confident and lets face it.. daft. I have had years on 125's and just needed something asap and yours was the only brand with actual stock at the time... Frame.. Rock solid. Engine... Came out of a soviet tank... bomb proof. Styling.... Spot on. (just don't try to change the headlight bulb.. its a nightmare) Suspension.... Fantastic. Seat.. More comfortable than my new Triumph Tiger 800XC... Switch gear. Well thought out and easy to use. Dash.. Well laid out and apart from it being a little over eager on speed reading (60mph is actually 52mph). Perfectly serviceable. Just better rust proofing and a better set of the consumables. Chain, tyres, breaks, bulbs... Your stock chain is more than the DID setup I got.. and that didn't need adjusting every single flipping trip. Overall. Decent bike, decent(ish) company... just penny pinching in the wrong places And do a better job on vetting your "Dealers". You know exactly what I am talking about.
