Ah now you have added some text to your origional picture I see.
I had the suz gp 125 but wanted the kwak KH 125 as that was the faster out of the two

NO FAZERS!! This is the non-Fazer bike photo thread! Please read OP. Both the thous and 600s have separate threads for Fazer photos, and the idea was to not mix them up, as after all, this is a Fazer forum, so this is to try to keep other bikes away from the main reason we're all here.   :)

Was that a true V twin a la Varadero, or was one cylinder, well, fake? How was it reliability-wise?

Yeah it is a twin with a whopping 14.2bhp if I recall  :rollin . The bike weighs about 164KG too so it wasn't a rocket ship but I did see 80 once or twice.

I never had a problem with the reliability what so ever but I only had it for 3-4 months while I was learning then passed and then sold it for a fazer.

It's loosely based on the GS500 frame wise, that fuel tank was whopping too, the bike felt very big for a learner bike but it wasn't a very good ride. Suspension was too firm.

Dunno if you would call it a reliability issue but the fork stanchions seemed to like pitting.
