How are the GPX bikes?

I bought a new GPX Rock about a year ago. The bike runs OK although my Suzuki will stomp the <deleted> out of it with only a 4cc advantage.

The finish on some parts of the bike are aging quickly. Rusty screws, black finish on mag wheel coming off, rusty chrome on exhaust shield. Very poor paint on swingarm, etc. 

I had a cheap Keeway 200 for 5 years that had none of these premature aging problems.

My 6 year old NMax has very few signs of corrosion or premature aging.

I don't coddle my bikes, but they are always kept under a roof and do not sit out in the direct weather. Only occasionally ridden in the rain.

A one year old bike should not show this kind of deterioration.

You get what you pay for, simple as that!

I still like the bike and plan to repair the deterioration. It’s actually more fun to ride than my NMax.

I haven't gone to any dealership yet. Just looking and reading about it online. So the price for anew one is 57.5k baht

Honda CB 250 secondhand would be a better choice IMO.

Buy a used Honda, can't go wrong.

Thanks for your detailed post. I also read some topics on the Thai forums (using google translate 🤣 ) which suggest there may be more problems, especially compared to Japanese brands. I might change to buy a XSR 155 instead which is a bit more expensive but probably comes with much less headache in the future

28 year old still going strong. 🤗

Bought a Demon for the Mrs years ago. Anything chrome rusts fast. Most of the bolts rusted much faster than on my Honda Click bought on the same day. The decals faded fast.

 

Apart from that not, much more to say.
