    I have a Zontes 310V, for 2 years from new. Well specced, the same as this one, except for TPM and it's had zero issues. Three things to note, 1, the keyless fob batteries barely last 6 months but it does say that in the manual. 2, the stock tyres are way too hard, I had the rear ABS come on quite often, switched to Mitas tyres, no more ABS kick in and way more grip in all scenarios. 3, the rear suspension compression damping is rock hard, rebound and preload are good. I have a Suzuki B-king, (181hp) and a Harley Springer Classic. The Zontes is my go to for fun and everything except autoroute.

      why does your rear abs goes on? shouldnt u mainly use the front brake??

      @@user-df5su8yh5t Пробег 5000км, с надежностью проблем нет. Я использовал Zontes, чтобы ездить на работу. Я бы не стал использовать его для поездок на большие расстояния, но то же самое можно сказать и о любом мотоцикле с небольшим двигателем.

    I can't understand why all bikes don't come with back-lit switch gear especially with LED's being so cheap & small. It puts the Japanese brands to shame. Great video Mark :)

      Yup not many brands do it, Triumph do, I think KTM do as well but that's about it. I don't touch Japanese bikes anymore, I think they are falling behind in terms of value/fit and finish, in my opinion.

    Once again you managed to bring us another great but under appreciated bike. Back-lit switch gear is a great idea, maybe but Zontes including it others will follow suit. It shouldn’t just be on high end bikes. When you first said the price I thought I heard you wrong. What a deal.

    Great review as usual Mark.
    Had a ZT125U for 6 months/1000 miles - never skipped a beat, great spec, frugal, very underrated - the only issue (literally the only thing) was re-sale value for part-ex with mainstream dealers , they either don’t know what these bikes are (frustrating, come on you’re in the trade) or what I found most was they’re too worried about re-selling and getting held accountable for any warranty work (‘we can’t guarantee we’ll get parts’ etc). So either keep em, or private resale.

      The resale problem should go away soon especially with such honest comprehensive reviews that mark does. What we as owners need to do is to add our own personal opinions as I did with the zontes phantom s250. I plan to do a few reviews on the 310r very soon now I've done its run in and covered a few thousand miles. I promote zontes whenever I can and Clement moto the importers.hopefully too we will see an increased dealer network in the uk.

    Seems like a decent little bike, looks are ok, I like the antiglare TFT - thats a neat touch, quite heavy for a 350 though (the wet weight you quoted is pretty much the same as my 790 Duke), J.Juan brakes are owned by Brembo and also make calipers for KTMs (the 790/890 calipers are very similar to the ones on the Zontes). Suspect they'll sell quite a few of these.

    Again an excellent review. Overall a good looking bike. Quality is now on a par with the leaders. I see zontes doing well and I look forward to seeing their 800 triple. I can't see any real advantage to this bike over the predecessor the 310cc.I can't understand why zontes didn't give us a little more power. This bike only has 4bhp more having said that excellent value for money, lightweight punchy and economical bikes.thank you as always Mark!

      It only went from 310cc - 350cc 4hp is about right. And it will still have more torque. Over 9k rpm is already high in the band more hp would probably mean over 10krpm and less usable.

    Hi there, yeah, I signed the paperwork yesterday, I should be getting my GK 350 come Monday or Tuesday! After 5.000- 7.000 kilometers I will put a good chain on that beauty!
    I also had the G1 125, and the chain on that was just terrible! Got an RK 520 with x-rings on it. Never been in rain once, and I used Motul chain white spray every 300 kilometers, I could not believe my eyes when I saw a bunch of rust on it!!!
    The RK chain feels soooo much better, the bike runs nice and smooth now.
    So I may change the chain on the GK 350 as well if I see any sign of yucky ness...
    Very nice review mate, thank you. I'm Very excited, next week I'll pick it up and start with the break in period...

      Everything adjusted, 7100 Motul 💯% synthetic in, new spark plug, and all the filters... It's running silky smooth. But the mechanic noticed the front light was faulty, I have high beams, and position lights, but no regular running lights, he told me to not worry and that in a week he'll have a whole new headlight! So it appears that if one light goes off they change out the whole thing!!
      But Yamaha and Kawasaki also does the same thing being LED lights and all ... Oh well, it's got 3-years of guarantee so... It's not coming out of my pocket. Other than that, all is good with it!

Do zontes do a 600cc version of the 350 GK that will be a great review for you to do. Great TH-cam video mark on the zontes GK 350 and keep these TH-cam videos coming out please because I'm very interested in watching them aswell and i just want to get back into motorcycling again as soon as possible. I just like the way you go into detail about each the motorcycles from 350cc upto 600/700cc because i want a motorcycle between 350cc and no more than 700cc and i just want to hear your thoughts and reviews on these motorcycles the naked look please because i just like them the most.

    After doing the Welsh twisties on the Zontes G1 can confirm brakes and cornering were brill. Just the sound at 60ish was very loud but the 350 sounds a lot better.
    Re the comfort after 1.30 hr I def had a dead bum so cant wait to test this new bike! (Could be me not being used to long stints).
    Its just what I needed re 60 cruising especially for the A road faster sections. On a 125 was thrilling to say the least😜

    Dual USB fast-charger ports, back-lit switchgear, keyless control, TPMS, mobile connectivity and forged hand guards all factory fitted as standard. Most bikes at three times the price from Japanese, German, British and some Italian brands often feature none of those things as standard.

    Thorough review. Thanks. It looks to be a very good option, especially for city riding/commuting.
    I know comparisons are awkward to do, but how would you say this holds up against say a Svart/Vitpilen 401 or a Duke 390? The price is good, and I'm guessing it being less desirable to thieves will help keep insurance a bit lower.

    Spoked wheels that take tubeless tyres. That's a nice touch. If this was a 500cc single, it would be perfect. As it is, the 350 must be the perfect commuter. I don't like keyless. I don't suppose it has quite the shove of the 390, Mark?

    Rather get one of these than the expensive triumph trident for example. Great exaughst, and price!!
    Prefer it to the smaller 125. not the usual modern massive elephant size on some bikes such as the Honda cb. Why is it that the only bikes I've seen that come with a built in Alarm and the electric mopeds ?? If I was to choose between a few bikes and wasn't sure and couldn't make up my mind. I'd go for the bike with an Alarm or tracking device . Has it a CENTRE STAND? Why on earth don't most of these new bikes. In my opinion it's a must. I had an old Honda CBX 750 years ago and had to fit one on it. I'm now going to see of I can look up the black and gold colour as I not keen on white 😊

      Just a cost saving. Most bikes will sell the centre stand back to you for a couple of hundred pounds. Those under engine exhaust pipes seem to have been the death of the centre stand. Think it's because of bikes starting to have a catalyst fitted and on smaller bikes the room just isn't free anywhere else.
