Where's my choke?

Alex,

This was my first bike. I was looking for something cheap and simple, so when I found this used dual-sport 125 for a decent price, I took it.

It's had two issues (sticking accelerator, and the back brake locked up), but these issues have been sorted out (hopefully for good). I guess it's got about as much power as you can expect from a 125, which is not much at all, but then again it seems that 99% of the bikes roaming around the Chinese countryside are 125-150.

If I were choosing between a new Zongshen 125 and a new Zongshen 200, I would definitely get the 200: here in Wuhan, the prices are 6500 and 8600 rmb respectively, and I think the extra 2100 rmb is worth the extra power.
