Sharmax sounds like it should be extra soft and thick toilet paper.

now that i think abt it, it does 😭😭😭

That oil cooled single makes a whopping 13 ft-lb and 16 HP! Likely vibrates more than a No-tell-Motel coin activated bed and those unbranded tires won't exactly be "confidence inspiring". Better off picking up a used Honda or something than picking up the parts as they vibrate off the Shartmax 250 behind you.

I have the 150 kp mini and I freaking love it, I have 4k miles in like 6 months. I'm getting a bigger engine but I hit 75 earlier I just want more responsive wheelies

2 wheels are 2 wheels. It probably wont last as long as the non-Chinese bikes, or be as reliable and spare parts may be a problem. I know people slag off Chinese bikes but for a dirt cheap new bike it will still put a smile on your face. I say go for it if you like the look of the bike. I started off on a second hand chinese 125 20 years ago which i rode without a single issue for 4-5 years and it was a blast.

I've read and watch too many bad reviews about Korean and Chinese motorcycles. They just don't stack up compared to a USA, Japanese, or European motorcycles.

Im 4000 miles in  And one oil change yesterday. That is true and not true. I ride a Chinese kp mini and I'm torn between installing a big engine or a ninja 650 I love my Chinese bike, I wheelie a lot alot and the only problem is the chain. I do want a bigger carb tho too but as stock it's wonderful. The first motor blew that's was on me though bc I was learning and I put a new one in for 200$  Same brand and all, warranty well honored. I got through xpro and I highly recommend them

No offense but you’ve been brainwashed every country is fucking their citizens over one at a time 😹

You are missing out and there are some good companies. Just research, I went with a kp mini and it's my baby. Lifan is awesome

I'm debating buying a Ducati knockoff and will be shoe horning an RZ350 engine into it. Engine is heavily modified and makes 89-90hp. The only reason for this is to have a titled frame in which my illegal 2stroke (California) RZ350 can reside. Obviously everything but the chassis and body are junk and will be replaced with quality parts.

Get a used z125 or grom

You know, you get what you pay for. In this picture the thing looks like it’s already leaking oil and the shine hasn’t even been removed from the chain.


Sakura_shahh

Yes, and i make wiring myself….the whole wiring like front to back, use other ecu and other , some chinese engine is good but wiring not good but for 2500$ i can say maybe no?, the bike look good but you gonna have a bad time finding the parts unless you know how to repair it and you know what other bike parts you can put on it, maybe try find kawasaki or other good brand, 2500$ is a lot, for chinese brand you can find it like 500-2000$ below. Edit: i zoom in on the engine and i kinda familiar with it, you can find that kind of engine part on ebay or ur online shopping website (depends what country you living)

That’s a Sharmax, a rebranded Chinese bike for the UAE market, and they are about $2500. I wouldn’t trust it as anything other than a toy for your suicidal kids to get into trouble on. I imagine it’d be ok as a disposable bike to learn on, but that’s about as much as I’d think.


FunkySausage69

I’d want to be checking nothings loose every time it’s ridden cause my life is worth more than $2,500 that’s for sure.

considering how fast you go in uae i dont think its worth it

I refuse to contribute to china’s economy.


Icy_Equivalent2309

Almost everything is either made in China or made with parts made in China


ngnrnlo

We let it get this way because we chased the lowest price for decades on amazon and at walmart. We can reverse that by buying non-chinese products, if available, even if a bit more expensive. There are also lots of south and southwest asian alternatives; I don’t mind spending on those.

The only Chinese motorcycle i trust is Sym and cf Sym even was making motorcycles for honda Wanted to buy voge rally 300 but idk that brand just appeared out of thin air and i was sceptical about it the engine is clone out of a Kawasaki 300 that had issues so idk maybe they fixed it maybe not


Shatnerknickerz

When you buy somthing new and take care of it, it can last a long time.


Rheinmetall_Gunner

Indeed we have a sym schooter 125cc and i bought a sym motorcycle hnt 300cc they are value for money motorcycles the shooter has 54000 km its 8 years old and still runs. Mine is new i guess time will tell but for 3700 euros you don't buy shit and 300cc


foofighter030

If you like it, go for it. But don’t forget that there is a reason why these bikes are cheap.

You get what you pay for in quality and customer service if you have a problem.
