2007 Kinlon KBR200 review from Australia
"You get what you pay for"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Battery supplied went flat within 1 month of purchase, and the bike is very hard to start using a kick start.
Plastics very weak, most of which cracked on 1st off road use without dropping.
Gearbox a little unpredictable. Sometimes no gear change, sometimes changes 2 gears.
General comments?
Bike will do about 95 km/h for 1st 500km, then might be able to get 110km/h.
Handles on the road very well. Feels as safe as on it, but off road it is scary as it's very unstable on dirt. Might be different with a change of tyres.
Good little bike for the price. A brand new bike for the same price as a 10 year old brand name bike. Still undecided which would have been the best buy though.
Couldn't get a better bike to learn on, but feel like I have outgrown it and have only owned it for 8 months.
