I bought a Zontes ZT125-U in November 2019 and I’ve ridden it as a daily commute ever since then including each winter! I can absolutely attest to the quality of the Zontes build. Chinese bikes get a bad reputation but I love my little Zontes. I also ride a Z650 btw. The Zontes is more than enough for commuting!
The Zontes GK125 is now going immediately on my wish list. It will join the Honda Forza-125 and the Sinnis Terrain-125 as my fav two wheel vehicles. It looks totally dope!!!
Hello to the UK. This is by far the best comparison video of the two Zontes motorcycles that is available on TH-cam. Even though I come from Germany, everything is very understandable and can be understood by anyone who knows some school English. My conclusion is that you actually have to decide between the designs and the appearance, it's nothing more. Thank you very much for the insight, it really helps a lot. 👍👍
Loved my G1 think it looks better than the GK but for the difference in money I think most people will opt for the one with the gadgets, so in time the brilliant G1 will have to sell for less
I can't decide... G1 or GK I'm 1,90m. Like both. Some say the g1 is better for big people but some owners say it makes no different. So idk. I can have a g1 and GK for the same price. But maybe the GK is better to sell in 2 years
Just bought the GK 125 for my missus but I've been running it in for her, now I've gone past 300 miles (still on the first tank of petrol with a couple of segments left on the gauge) the engines freeing up a lot and it's a great hoot around the twisties , it handles brilliantly and you're right those knobbley tires are no problem! The bar end mirrors give a better view than the stick mirrors on my Vstrom! I'm so impressed with this 125 I've asked our dealer to get a GK350 in for a test ride ! Great review cheers 🍻
From the Zontes site, the height of both is 1112, the G1 seat height is 795 while the GK is 770. Curiously the GI ground Clearance is 160 while the GK is 225, not sure I believe that they look identical in the video.
Hi! Can anyone tell me if Zontes parts are available? Asking as my lexmoto has been in the garage now for 6 weeks as there’s no parts in the UK. 😢 Thanks
Lovely bit of good Chinese kit, had my g1 for over a year now with absolutely no faults or problems. It looks incredible rides pretty good considering its Chinese and brings a smile the whole while. The power is just what you would expect nothing to fruity but enough to get you moving along with traffic on a duel carriage way. I highly recommend the upgraded air filter once run in the 1000 miles and oil changed with oil filter of corse. Overall its a brilliant bit of non ricer boy kit, perfect for a young or older person that wants looks, comfort and a cheap way to get about.
Night and day compared to my old Taiwanese Sym wolf 150 classic. The Chinese bikes have come a long way, from afar, how are they for reliability? Love these Chinese bike reviews, we don't have these brands in Canada. Cheers.
Only seen a couple with issues, seem to be one off engine stutters, auto decompression so cannot do standard compression checks on these. Out of all sold, very few issues.
Oh my goodness; we are waiting your review to satisfy us about the most important thing of the difference ; which is the sprocket teeth number different between two and the effect of that on driving and acceleration and top speed, We consider you the best reference to clarify this point and to add value to the review
A few days back I test-drove Zontes GK 155 & G1 155 both. In my country it's 155cc. Anyway, I have noticed the tank area around the knee is getting very hot !! So is this a common thing with these types of bikes? The dealer said the bike is new and when I emailed a service expert he said it's very common and the bike is perfectly designed. I just want to know your opinion on this and if you have noticed this too?
I’m also eying this Gk1 to buy. However, my only worry is how I’m gonna get it fixed anything gets messed up, as local mechanics wouldn’t touch it and that’s so legit
I am getting my G1 125 Scrambler in BLK as well in 8-10 days!!! GK version looks great with the extras. But to be honest, the G1 is perfect. As I don't like the keyless and the tank on the GK. Seriously can't wait to travel with it here in Spain and other places as well. After the break in period of course. I have had much bigger bikes than a 125cc but this one seems different to me, love it actually. And for the price on the 2022 (euro -5) just had to get it!!

Is yours also so Black??
In my country 50% Of the side is Bronze.
Sometimes I think it's looking a bit cheap.
Io ho una g1 con lo schermo della gk, non capisco
I can't decide... G1 or GK

I can have a g1 and GK for the same price.
But maybe the GK is better to sell in 2 years
Done 36000 kms on my ZT155G1 and still loving it. Prefer the manual key in G1 over PKE key in GK. Less headache...
Buen vídeo, bien explicadas las diferencias y las similitudes. Gracias ☺️

I'm so impressed with this 125 I've asked our dealer to get a GK350 in for a test ride !
Great review cheers 🍻
I wish they would automatics
in these styles and in a cruiser style Id have one of each.
For me as a 188 cm Person i think Its better to buy the G1 but i Like the gadgets of GK more . Its a Bit difficult for me now
Nice and clear presentation! Cheers!! Nikos, Greece. (A happy G155 owner).
what are the technical specifications, as in power torque, weight of the bikes, mileage?
G1 is just sooooo much better looking.
So glad you've done this comparison, I'm interested in both in the 350 guise. Thanks
15mm, not 15cm (seat height) 😁😁😁, great review as always
For 1.80 who is better? GK or G ?

What is the catch with Zontes ZT 155 ??? Where this engine come from
@@comfortasirup Zontes make their own engines.
Hi! Can anyone tell me if Zontes parts are available? Asking as my lexmoto has been in the garage now for 6 weeks as there’s no parts in the UK. 😢 Thanks
Do you think that being 6'2 might be a height problem to ride the G1 ?
@@moi7946 I don't think so. Depends on your leg length and knees on the tank/crash bars. Try and find one to sit on.
That's the sooting question answered, the GK seemed to give slightly more with your arse applied than the G1, I like em.
Can you confirm the tank size on both please?
Sure, 17 litre on GK, 20 litre on G1
Fantastic review as always from motors for the masses
Gu1 please

Great review, it is needed for these bikes
That was very helpful and informative.Thank you very much for making this video.

Why ur G1 is so Black? Its all parts from GK?
Hello
I’m after the G1. I’m 6’1 17 stone . Would I be to big for it
Steve
You have 17 stones? Where, in your pocket, in your home? Wtf 😅
It's CM and KG for god sake!
I payed 3349 for my g1 4 months ago.
Was about to correct the measures then you did it yourself!

Both great bikes, but I like the GK a bit more.
Why?
In my eyes is 50:50.
15mm height difference not 15cm 😂

Are you sure? I was not aware of that.
Beautiful bike but not available in my country 😔
I want to ask you if you know something about the rieju aventura 125 2022 thank you
Not in the UK at this moment, so haven't seen it yet.
A very well done video and comparison
What is the actual seat height of gk?
Opps he then said 😂
they look alot like the svartpilen 401
Which one you think it looks better?
The G1 normally has Alloy Rims, not Spoked.
No it doesn't. The U has alloy, the U1 and G1 have spoked.
Hi, the best for duo ?
I know the G1 takes E5 fuel.
Does the GK take E10?
It's exactly same engine, so yes
Always great videos.👍
GK is a stunner
Love it
15mm difference ? in height or cm 🤔
got to that bit now.. 👍👍. mm

Are you based in Bangladesh? I’m planning on getting the GK myself

Tank size is different
Yes, forgot to mention that bit. 20 litre on G1, 17 litre on GK
Any news on the Zontes 125 scooter good sir?
Not yet...soon though
@@motorsforthemasses I am so excited.......I can't wait.😆

To the Spain on 125cc?
@@mihailsbogdanovs7265 maybe you misunderstood... I actually live in Spain, and would like to travel in Spain. Then other places as well ...
Which is faster?
Nothing in it really.
my g1x 125 goes 122 km/H top speed. and im heavy. 139 kg. so pobrably 130 on g1x if u are lighter. does 600+ km on a full tank of gas
Love my G1
Man, in Singapore, the cost of these bikes are around SGD20,000.. totally sucks!
Wow! Nearly £12000? That's insane............
I thought the scrambler would have a longer suspension travel
