Sachs Madass 125, Member spurwin

The Sachs Madass 125 is a fun bike. It will only do about 55mph on a straigt away which can be an issue if you want to drive on highway. It handles well and is pretty solid. Fit and finish has a little to be desired compared to Honda or Kawi. Beware that they have a problem with the 2010 125's in that the rear caliper has a tendancy to lock up and stay locked, poorley engineered screw-type piston in the rear caliper causing issue. Me and others have learned to just use front brake and downshifting/engine braking to come to a stop. Other than that, fun little bike.
