Honda Ace 125

[kologha]

I have bought a Honda Ace "Taxi" bike. They have recently become available in South Africa for the very low price of ZAR9000 (about US$1100) which includes a 24 month unlimited mileage warranty. I have had the bike for a week and am very happy with it. Although the bike is built in China the quality appears to be pretty good. Apart from the handle bars needing to be tightened (I suspect they would have been removed for shipping) I have found no loose bolts. All bolt heads are marked with a blob of blue coloured ink from a paint marker. Having worked for 26 years in a Japanese company (Nissan) I know that this is to indicate that the bolt has been tightened to the correct torque. Apparently the manufacture of the bike will shortly (if it hasn't already) be moved to Nigeria.
