  • In this video I take the Zontes G1 Scrambler 125 (ZT125-G1) for a little ride to see what it's all about. Can these little bike really hold it's own against the big manufacturers and can it with the hearts of young beginner riders to be their first motorcycle? I think it actually can but more information can be found in the video.

      It's very good as a beginner bike, keep low in the rpm range until you get used to it and to riding and then let sing at 11k rpm and access the power and the fun when you are used to it :D

    Alex I bought my second bike ever.It is U125 Zontes.Is very good looking.I never rode manual,so I am seeing that you brake then pull the clutch.I thought If I did that it would stall.

    • @RideWithAlex

      It stalls only when you stop, if the rear wheel is spinning then you can't stall the engine, you engine brake.

    Thank you so much for this complete review. The best I have seen.
    I like this bike a lot it looks big and unique. I haven't driven a bike over 23 years. I'm planning of buying one very soon. I really have desired it for years to drive again.
    I also like the Yamaha XSR 125 Legacy but Zontes G1 Scrambler 125 really got my attention very much.
    Do you have experience with Yamaha XSR 125?
    Much peace and happiness.

      I bought one yesterday. I used to have a 2010 yzf R125. Build quality is very close but the zontes absolutely demolishes it in terms of features. It accelerates faster than the yamaha but the yamaha gets a better top speed due to the yamaha superior aerodynamics

      A scooter is more practical, a motorcycle is more fun. If you do a lot of city riding I would go for the jetx, if you want to do more long distance trips the the G155. My personal rule is the scooter is a tool I use every day, the motorcycle is a toy for the weekends.
