Chinese POS.

They do the job. Surprised the brakes aren't up to the job though, the stepdaughters CBR 125 clone stops on a 2p piece if you want it to.
Reliable enough if you keep on top of maintenance, she uses hers every day for work.

Yeah, not sure what state the brakes are in. If she starts riding it reasonably often I'll get her to bring it round and give the calipers a clean and change the fluid. Pointless doing it now as she'll probably leave it for another month before trying to move it again!

That was until I rode it for a few miles, the brakes were barely adequate and with the wide bars I couldn't filter nearly as much as I'm used to. Was glad to be back on the SV

Yeah, SV's are great through London traffic.

Wide bars are easily fixed with a hacksaw.
