presentation of the 125 VS 2003
a list of equipment like this on a utility 125 is both rare and attractive. For a low price, the VS is equipped with side and center stands, a fuel gauge, a tachometer and a daily trip. The VS holds its own in terms of performance, thanks to its Honda-sourced 4-stroke single: it enables the Daelim to reach 110 km/h. Passing maneuvers are less convincing, as is the steering, which lacks lightness, putting a strain on handling. But for the everyday rider on a very reasonable budget, the VS is more than convincing.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 11 reviews
is a simple, fuel-efficient motorcycle with a cool custom look
I'm sure its reliable Honda copy machine base has something to do with it
Superbly well-equipped compared to its rivals, it has a lot going for it
Its 12 hp/Din gives it good performance
Brief summary from a Daelim owner Rating : 4/5 Respond to Boni
I have just acquired this little jewel which I appreciate very much but I have just realized that it has a leak at the level of the exhaust manifold. Would you know how to repair it "mike giver" style until I get a proper one (I can't afford it at the moment). Thanks in advance :) Rating : 5/5 Respond to Lince
-for the speed, I replaced the gearbox sprocket with a 15, which is better on a main road, and 110 to 120 solo without headwinds, of course.
-weak point: the original front tire.
-low fuel consumption - simple maintenance I found instructions on the internet. Rating : 4/5 Respond to BIP
I see that you have the VS 125 manual, could you make me a copy and give me the price and your contact details, so that I can send you the payment please?
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully
