Bought a Spirit 125 from dealership around a year ago. The bike itself looks great and is a simple back to basics classic ride. The bike runs very smoothly and the engine demands high revs in 4th and 5th gear with most of the top end RPM reachable without bouncing off a limiter. The main issues I have found with this bike are firstly lack of accessories and options for aftermarket accessories which appear none existent on the Bullitt/Bluroc site which is a shame as additional lifestyle accessories would compliment the style of bike. This bike can be customised however you will be looking elsewhere for aftermarket or custom/retro fit accessories. The bike also had an issue with the front light and rear indicator within the first 1000 miles, both of which needed replacing due to vibrations which damaged the bulb and lighting housing. The handlebars are also set quite low initially however they can be adjusted to sit at the top of the front fork for a more comfortable height which I would recommend. The bike is also best with a 140 rear tyre for stability, 130 and 110 is not the best combination as it is too rigid for higher speeds and potholes will really cause a problem above 50mph, I am an experienced rider but have had a few tank wobbles due to hitting small bumps/holes in the road, luckily I know how to manage this but less experienced riders could find themselves in trouble therefore I would not recommend this bike for less experienced riders who want to do 60mph+. I upgraded the front light to a large 7" version for better visibility on the road as the stock is just a bit too small, however this does add weight onto the bike. I also changed the mirrors to bar ends for much better visibility and overall style, the stock mirrors have very limited view range. The bike does get a lot of positive attention from general public and is very fun to ride, it is not a rocket but for general A to B transport there are few 125cc bikes in this style which look as good as this one. The bike if well maintained should last long but pay attention to rusting, I would recommend changing the chain and upgrading the brake discs after 3000 miles as they appear to be rust magnets. All in all if you happy to make these relatively low cost changes then you will get some decent satisfaction out of this bike. Bluroc do need to improve their general customer experience as the website is very basic and offers zero customer support and parts/accessories directly, make sure you buy from a respectable dealer.
