Couldn't help my self had to order another
So I broke down and pulled the trigger on an orion rxb 150xl last night. The thing looks like to much fun not to have one. And the few videos I've seen on the 125/150 say the build quality is actually quite good for a China bike. I had already figured I would be buying one any way as I had started to buy parts for it a couple days ago. I got a 17t sprocket comeing and a new chain. Also have a license plate braket and a set of jets on the way to. If I like this thing as much as I think I will. I'll be ordering a 190 motor this summer to. With my tight schedule I also selected the option to have it ready to go apon arrival just add gas and go it will be broken in already to. I Cant wait to ride this thing.

Thats one of the main reasons I got it I was wanting an ultra light bike to blast around town with. I was affraid in order to get a bike 200lbs or less i was stuck with a grom clone not my thing. Then I seen this and knew it was perfect for what I wanted light weight good power and looks good to. Curious what kind of gas mileage did you get out of your 125. With it only haveing a 1 gallon tank I immagine range is not that good.

Congrats on the new bike. These little china bikes are so inexpensive, addictive. and cheap to mod. I think everyone will own one, two, three. …. Where does it end? lol I know cause after three years I had to get another one to tinker around with.

Mine is on its way...we'll have to compare notes!

I had some 2nd thoughts about getting the 150, as I am more familiar with the Zongshen brand on the 125. So, I called and talked to Jason aat Orion he assured me the 150 engine is good quality. He thinks better than the stock Zongshen. I don't figure on doing any mods, just take out to the local trails and riding parks. Unless....I get a 2nd set of rims so I can swap out to street tires in between trail rides! |

the speedo will be set to metric when delivered

............... turn off key. Depress and hold right side button on display and turn on key at the same time. Keep holding until it changes |
