I am giving a VL 125 Daystar
To give the impression of a motorcycle larger than it actually is - that's what the designers of this little exhibitionist play on.
In fact, this is also an impression when you first see it. "I'm not kidding - 125 cubic meters! ? You scratch your head doubtfully. The abundance of chrome, exhaust pipes, saddle and large fuel tank in the lower part of the body clearly resemble the older brothers of the custom market segment. Atypical full and perforated rims also contribute to the added mass feel.
But when you hit the engine start button or the foot start, if you like, the skepticism definitely ends. Instead of the expected lazy whirring "a la custom", the 125cc four-stroke engine simply shuts down smoothly. He loves to be agile and can do it with a five-speed gearbox (with heel-to-toe shifting) up to 100 kilometers per hour and up to 9000 rpm.
It impresses with its economy, as it consumes just over 3 liters per 100 kilometers. The fact that it is not intended to set speed records is also confirmed by the driving position typical of this type of motorcycle. Casual and comfortable, with feet forward, with a wide steering wheel and a good view of what is happening in front of you and the tools, it is safe to travel, especially in urban areas.
The front telescopic forks are quite soft, the rear swinging forks helpfully serve even more pronounced twists, but the motorcycle, like the frame itself, does not like to exaggerate.
The Test Star was shod in Swallow tires (!), which at first did not inspire too much confidence, but later doubts were dispelled. The equipment is rich and chrome. The speedometer, tachometer and indicator lights are simple and transparent, and the fuel gauge is where the fuel is on the fuel tank.
Appearance, technical capabilities and ubiquitous chrome - this is what we get at a very affordable and attractive price. And let someone else say that size doesn't count. Although only in appearance.
