    Had a full tank of this when I bought my SYM Jet when I was 16, smelt like strawberries when I pulled the lid off the tank but as said; like normal 2 stroke when it was burned. Seems like abit of a shoddy marketing strategy to me!

    Two up it was off the clock but side by side with dad on a Fazer 600 he clocked me at 85mph. Don't think it would of done much more than that but for a 125 I was pretty happy with it!

    @CYBER-NINJA Would do but don't have many decent videos of mine other than dodgy jump landings haha!! Type HPI savage bashing into YouTube, I've recently ordered the SS which is the build it yourself kit version that should be coming near the end of the month, 4.6cc monster truck 😄 and also type in ndor track, which is where I run my nitro buggy. Also got a Traxxas Slayer Pro 4x4 which is a short course truck that I've been romping round the garden today if you wanna look at them too, masses of fun!! Until you crash and break something of course, but saying that, I've crashed the traxxas into our incinerator bonfire thing several times today and it now looks like a crumpled beer can... Oops😋

    @MIGHTYMAN said in Which SM would you buy???:

    That is odd! Looks like an air cooled cylinder but I'm sure I can also see a radiator..

    They are water cooled as far as I know!
    The rad is pretty small though

    @Biker_123 I would suggest a test ride with the buyer following you, if thats agreeable to you of course? If not then play it by ear, if they come out then record everything and watch every word you say, Simply ignoring them whilst videoing them works well. Use your phone if you have nowt else. I think the noise pollution has to be 92 decibels or over for a continuous period of 20 mins or more? So you should be OK Remember if they step onto your property they are trespassing and you are legally entitled to use reasonable force to evict them. Warn them of that and gently move them off but that may escalate things so be wise. ;O)

    IT will depend though. If the bike has been messed about with then it may be the over way arou d. It is said that the fuel filter should be clesned. The fuel filter controls the reserve tank and main tank. Bassically it is two snorkels. One short one high. When the fuel runs low it dips below the high snorkel. You then switch to the low snorkel.

    If they have been swapprd around upon cleaning then thos will be different. Really easy job to fix

    I can never really understand the mentality of owning something as gorgeous as this and never experiencing the joy of what it was made for! Even if it was ridden like 6 times a year, just to experience the thrill of what the designers engineered and put it to its intended use. That to me would be the joy of ownership, not to have it collect dust and never be unleashed.

    I'm intrigued to see what it actually goes for? Another collector is probably gonna blow his wad for it? Each to their own I guess, but then maybe the current owner has two and ragged the ass of the other one??? LOL ;O)

    I have copied the essentials. But unless Seiki is going to give me the database dump, there isn't much more I can do. I have asked before, and we would have a exact replica of the old forum. But he doesn't understand the technology, and rightly so, isn't prepared to give me root access to the box. If he could give me the database dump then it would br a trivial task.

    If you want a road going mx with that sort of power then look at the Aprilia MX125. It uses the same engine. A bit of tinkering will see you hit the same performance.

    I reckon the dt is around the 15 mark
