2009 Daelim Roadwin 125R Sport Road Test



2009 Daelim Roadwin 125R FI

My little Road Rodent bought his first bike for the road as a learner rider.



It's a good bike for boys or girls to learn to ride, without too much power to kill themselfs on.

And yes Road Rat had to give it a ride to see what it is like.



Rat's results:



Very comfortable to ride and all out handling is good.

Problem is that is the bike is real revy in 1st gear and just as easy to take off in 2nd gear.

Cause if you start of in 1st you have to change to 2nd fast cause it rev's it ring out.



Don't know why they put a 5-speed gear box on a bike that only does a top speed of just over 100 km/m.



Needs that extra power to pull out of the corners a little more.



They are made in Korea, by KIA as far as I know.



Getting popular in America and bought this one through Triumph NZ.



I like what they have done with the fairings, as it gives that sporty look.

The earlier models didn't come out with them.



If you buy one be prepaired for a long wait on parts as they have to come from Korea.



It might be me but always grew up on big bikes and like the power of the big bikes so it might be the below cc range I am use to.



Anyway you can look at the specs for yourself below.

Good thing about this bike is the price in parts compared to the main bike brands, due to the OEM parts prices.

Plus the fairing seems to be a robust thick type of plastic, but also looks like a Yamaha R1 gave birth to it's style.
