Tony, I think that this is the same bike as one sold in US as SSR "Razkull" 125 (damn those Yanks; they could name it "Ra's al Ghul" instead, it would be uber-cool), but with 50 cc engine. "Youtube" is already cluttered with it's reviews, so you can get some picture what kind of bike is this midget. If 50 cc raises some concerns, just take a look at some pit-bike forum, "Planet Minis" for example.
Hi Zorge
I've got no concerns with it being 50cc, as, for the first year my daughter would have it, my daughter can't legally ride anything bigger than a 50. It's, more a case of finding who the manufacturer is, so, if I have trouble geting spares over here, I know what base model to look for !! I'm pretty sure the engine is a Zongshen
It also seems to be for sale over here as the Yamasaki YM50R
For this engine, there is s...load of spare parts practically everywhere. It doesn't matter are they from "Zong" or some other nameless factory. You can keep running this engine for decades.
You may be concerned only about the "tupperware", but IMO, this midget was legally imported by the UK based company, so even the law obligates them to provide spare parts, how much... seven years after they quit selling those bikes?
If you are still interested to find out "who's this kiddo is", you can type this bike's VIN number on some site (I forgot address, sry) and in second you'll get all the info.
And not to forget...
Go Wolves!
The Baggies are faggies! :icon10:
Hi Tony,
The WK Colt 50 is not the same as the Yamasaki YM50R - the 'Yamasaki' is from a different factory using a different engine.
Our version is sold across Europe, selling over 6000 units in the past year and we are really happy with the quality of this bike (otherwise we wouldn't import it). We also have a huge spare backup held at our base in the UK.
If you do go ahead and purchase one for your daughter, I am sure it will prove to be a great first motorbike.
Any information you might need, just let us know and we'll do our best to help.
Kind Regards,
WK Bikes
WKBikes, freeze! Don't run away!
There will be some questions...

Nice guys good set up.
I got the impression that they are a company that has clear development strategy, and therefore I would like to see one of WK people active on this forum, I hope for mutual satisfaction (and, why not, benefit).

Don't worry, I've been pretty happy with the service from WK, but, I've found from experience, of owning other chinese bikes, that it's always handy to know of alternative places to get parts should getting them become problematic in the UK. I was no different with my Enfield, and I built myself up a list of Indian suppliers, just in case ..
Cheers
Tony

Thanks for the feedback. Yes we agree. WE WANT THE TRG EURO 4! But they're focusing on the 650MT and 650NK, seems like nowhere else in Europe has had any success with the 650TR so they won't produce it just for our market. I believe obtaining the Euro 4 homologation is quite expensive.
Glad to hear you're 'pretty' happy with our service. What could we do to improve? We hope the WK Colt 50 parts will be easy to get from us and as it is sold elsewhere in Europe, because of our co-operation with those other European importers, we can always get parts from them quickly, as well as from the factory.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
WK Bikes
P.S. prince666 it was nice to meet you too. Hope your new 650MT is going as well as your TR was. The clock was reading over 20,000 kms by the time you reached us! A great testament to the 650
20.000 km was just the 1st leg of the ride lol
The bike ended up with just over 70.000 km trouble free before I PX the bike in for a new MT.
Must say I like the MT better, but sadly not with out a very few minor issue.
Which I have posted on MCM about.
If you wish I could email you with the full break down.
Having the details on file could help you to arrange parts for stock if needed.
Prevention is better then a cure.lol
I know the whole team at WK take great steps to insure best after sales service.
PM me your email if you need the details.
I do still have a WeChat contact if like me to send there,
But I have sent before buying looks like no one is reading the messages.
Steve
Hi Prince666,
Sorry to hear about the issues you've had with the 650MT. I am sure CF have listened, they usually do.
Yes absolutely. I think you still have our WeChat. If you have the time, we're always glad to receive feedback :thumbsup:
I am getting here late to this party, but it is nice to see a manufacturer/distributor on these forums, even if I don't have WK bikes available in the US :sad:Quote:
