Well, This bike just reminds me of Yamaha DT250 from late 1970's... The similarities are striking to say the least!

No, I'm not complaining cause I'm loving the old nostalgia this United Bike seems to possess...! Unfortunately, it isn't a 2-Stroke...!!!

The lack of Disc Brake is just too ancient flavour, BTW... I'd have much preferred a Disc Brake up front...

The 'under-slung' exhaust pipe is definitely looking cool, but is too close to the tire... Which might cause the rear tire to heat up on extended runs and might worsen the traction...

The ground clearance is also scant! Which is such a shame for a Dual Sport bike! The engine is too low... They should've used a CD70 Style cylinder position at around 45 Degrees or something... Alternatively, a bigger bore and a shorter stroke (Like the DT) would've accomplished it...

The plastic side panel in white is looking too cheap and fragile... Seems like a strong wind would blow it away, LOLz!!!

The fuel tank is also looking "Modern-ish" which isn't a bad thing in itself, but on a retro bike like this, it's an eye sore!

But these are minor quibbles...

NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: TELL US THE PRICE...???

seenforu (seenforu) 2016-03-15 12:07:20 +0500 #9

Please check PRICE and shape

k-four-nine 2016-03-15 12:32:07 +0500 #10

Hmmm, I see... You're right... This bike seems to have taken more than just a cue from Honda XL125...!!!

Dare I say: "Its a Clone"...!!!

In any case, The cylinder head seems to be quite identical so I presume that its the same 125cc OHC 2V Motor from XL125 with 5-Speed Transmission???

Or is it just YET ANOTHER bike powered by CG125's Push-Rod Motor (Disguised to look like XL125's Engine, of course!)???

Would greatly appreciate your insight regarding Camshaft design and number of gears...

Thanks in advance...

Good thing is that a new and different from other bikes has arrived in the market.
With YBR Good present in market already, both the bikes should give each other some competition.
The retro looks are cool too, it's the engine that riders will now focus on town see how reliable it is for touring and off-roading purpose.

k-four-nine 2016-03-15 14:24:46 +0500 #12

Well, this bike isn't meant for true off-roading... It's meant for sand and gravel trails & bumpy rough roads full of pot-holes, which one might find literally everywhere here!

For Off-Roading, you need a race bred MX Dirt Bike like Honda CRF-R or Yamaha's famous YZ Series!

In other words, don't get your hopes up... It's a soft trail bike, in truest sense... And it's ground clearance isn't something to write home about...!

Xl125 had ohv engine this is a clone with cg125e engine

Hassan1991 (Electrical Engineer ) 2016-03-15 21:47:50 +0500 #14

This bike have some dislike but still after a long decade trail was relaunched in Pakistani so we should ignore them RIP United

vickytulla (vickytulla) 2016-03-16 06:50:14 +0500 #15

Lovely Bike, amazing comparison and thanks for input...
Its a a good choice for any entry level offroader.,..

PS - IMHO: XL125 was never an OHV.....

-2 cents

k-four-nine 2016-03-16 09:23:18 +0500 #16

Well Vicky Bro, to put things into perspective; It's THE ONLY choice for someone looking for an entry level off-roader here in Pakistan!

Now one might point at Yamaha's YBR125G and say that it's a trail bike as well...

Well, Yamaha's YBR125G isn't a trail bike, not even close!

It's a road bike which happens to have a high front mudguard...! LOLz! Yup, that pretty much sums up YBR-G...!

Good addition, brings back memories of bygone days...

homayoon (homayoon) 2016-03-16 09:28:06 +0500 #18

MONOO (MONOO) 2016-03-18 18:57:23 +0500 #19

What about suspension?

Boy do I love this bike like little kid. I was impressed by honda's same old school trail bike and I wanted to have one and now united has like revived it for me. the bike looks strong and defined. I'm definitely hooked. I think engine can be swapped with bigger displacement engine.
