oakoakoak Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I am planning to buy a legend 150 FI for daily commute in Bangkok and some light travel. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this brand and model? I am having a hard time finding reviews in English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Issanman Posted January 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2023 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. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woof999 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
