Components, like brakes, look good, but may not function as well as you expect.

I'd look into reliability, and getting parts, before jumping on one.

I think you have a point, I've just done a bit of looking and there is a gearbox problem that shows up occasionally and the local distributor has gone broke and been taking over by another company.
Parts are available though.
Made in China.
A 4 speed box with a manual clutch which is good.
The CT110 would be easier to get a low seat height with.

I freely admit discs front and rear were the main attraction.

Thinking.
