Just wondering, do you push your bike to the maximum? Because in the Sachs XTC125, when you get it de-restricted and push it to the maximum, the engine keeps needing to be rebuilt. Buy a 400cc bike as they are built better then 125cc's.

The Mito 125 is one of the most powerful road 125s ever made. They produce 264bhp per litre!! They are extremely fun to ride; I have ridden a lot of different bikes of all sizes, and have found no road bike that comes close to the impeccable handling, corner speed and sheer riding pleasure of the Mito. It is very satisfying to take superbikes on the inside round bends and roundabouts etc.
Mine has been very reliable so far, after about 15000 miles. I rebuild the engine completely every 12000 miles, and new piston and rings every 6000 miles.
The only other problems I've had were a clutch cable snapping, and for some unknown reason the clutch was slipping. That is rare though as far as I know.
A very nice bike that is as close as you can get to a road racing 125.

I wonder. Have you ever taken a few minutes aside to consider why your motorcycle often has so many problems? Do you really abuse the machine like that? Hence an engine rebuild so often and excess wear on the chain and sprockets.
