Nope, no kissing, licking, perseennuolenta means literally to lick an ass.

I'd say to lick an ass is not that bad as they say.

I'd prefer say a used clean low mileage 2007-2010 Honda Hornet for the same money.

yes very very appealing, and along with 2 years warranty and no MOT for 3 years, i think it is a perfectly sensible to buy one....

and ya never give up about the second-hand Japanese bikes

..

everyone has their own point of view on bikes, but at least i know my bike is new and has not had the living shit revved out of it or even wheelied or not been serviced correctly..

I have that same problem that I want my bikes new. Could had got cheap used Jawas, or BMW K75 year 1994, which I lusted a lot. Now though very happy with the Jawa.

If you pay 3000 of a bike now and get nothing of it after 5 years, it is about the same as if you pay 5000 now and get 2000 of it after 5 years. About the same only because in the latter case you drive 5 years with a better bike and in the former case you have 2000 to invest on something.

Don't smell the kool-aid too hard. A warranty is not a cloak of all invincibility. Merely a 'promise' that if you continue to spend money with them in the short-medium term they may look after you. Then again they may hang you out to dry especially after that magic 2 year deadline has passed, with no parts when your bike goes wrong leaving you with an un-ridable, un-sellable lemon in your garage or drive-way. Sometimes they even leave bikes on their shop floor for months waiting for parts to come in as a way to sit out the warranty.I hope nothing bad happens and that you have a great bike, but if you think you bought a bike just as good as a Japanese bike for half the money you are mistaken.

Also wheelies are not necessarily abuse they are simply that someone knows how to use a rear brake, throttle and clutch at the same time. Done by a noob they can wear out the head bearings.

@MJH,

The position of the oil dipstick suggests a copy of the CBR150R engine more than 125 due to the availability of the CBR150R over the 125 in Asia obviously a easy change for sure. Looking at Stripped YCR 150 pictures it looks to be a SOHC head.

**MJH** · 10-07-2015, 09:41 AM

I do not think the dip stick position is the same as the Honda, it may actually tell us it is a Chinese engine.
The dip stick on the CBR150 is not located there and it is not located there on the CBR125 either.
Honda 150cc DOHC 4-Valve

The Chinese YCR engine is SOHC like the CBR125 engine, unlike the Honda CBR150-R that is a DOHC 4-Valve.
Chinese made SOHC 150cc

For example this is a YCR that is actually labeled Honda, it is a fake Honda, there are a few giveaways, the engine and also the brakes.
