The Jailing JL-250 is a Chinese copy of the old Honda CN250 "Helix", one of the first maxi scooters to come on the market. The JL-250 comes complete with a fitted alarm, stereo radio cassette player, colour LCD speedometer and large top box (in addition to its large boot.) I first became aware of the bike being imported in to the country as a "grey" import a couple of years ago, where it was advertised in the scooter magazine "Twist and Go." The bike was ridiculously cheap for a 250cc scooter, and so I decided to investigate. After reading a couple of good reviews (one from a pleased owner), I decided to ...  Read the complete review

This is my opinion on the honda cr80r It is agreat bike with all the features almost the same as the 250 and the 125 but it is smaller slower and it has six gears rather than five. the bike will suit a 9 to a 15 year old boy or girl.Unlike the enduro bikes the motocross bikes have a smaller fuel capacity so that means it is-not a good idear to go out miles on the moorland as you will find that you will run out of fuel ,and beleve me it is not very fun to be stuck in the big deep muddy bogs.if you want to go more outland on your bike it would be good thinking to buy a enduro bike or trials bike but it is still very dangerus to go ...  Read the complete review

Many people say that bikes should be taken off the road as they are so dangerous. I would just like to say that if car drivers paid attention more then there would be alot less accidents on the road. Don't get me wrong, of course you get the dangerous riders but a vast majority of bikes accidents are actually caused by cars. A great example of this is a friend of mine was riding down a main road and a car just pulled out of a side road. The bike got wedged under the car and my friend went flying down the road on his side. The car driver carried on driving as he didn't even know what had happened. He could hear the banging noise that the bike was making but he ...  Read the complete review

I was reduced to getting the cheapest bike I could as I was broke. Cheap not only to buy but also run. I live in the London Brough of Southwark which is a very congested place so performance is not important. On ebay I noticed the Jonway. It had a start price of £300 even though it was only two years and had only covered 3500 kilometers about 2300 miles. I bid £325 for it as it looked good and I liked the name Jonway as my name is Jon. I was very pleased to win the auction for this lightly used bike as £315 is cheap. I picked up the bike a few days later and was quite happy as it is a big bike for a 125cc and so quite comfortable for me to ride as I ...  Read the complete review

The trouble with biking is that most bikes do not have a roof or boot, but the reason they are fun is because they do not have a roof or boot. Nevertheless, after a hard days ride to Cornwall or the Lake District, getting out a soggy tent and sleeping bag is not much fun, so what is the best solution? Rather than go the hard luggage route (at approx £500), I went for the soft option. Throwovers and a rack makes life cheaper, but still do not solve the ingress of water problem. In comes a German company called Ortlieb, who make a range of waterproof stuff sacs and bags that are totally waterproof. They come in a range of sizes and materials, ...  Read the complete review
