What Buyers Should Know
Watch the CVT Belt
The continuously variable transmission belt is a known wear item on the CityStar 125 and should be inspected every 8,000–10,000 km. Neglected belts can snap unexpectedly, leaving you stranded and facing a costly repair.
Modest Resale Value
The CityStar 125 holds a lower resale value compared to Japanese rivals like the Honda PCX or Yamaha NMAX, meaning you can often find used examples at attractive prices. However, this also means your own resale return will be limited when you upgrade.
Large Underseat Storage
The CityStar 125 offers a generous underseat storage compartment capable of fitting a full-face helmet, making it one of its standout practical features for urban commuters. This, combined with a central tunnel storage pocket, gives it excellent day-to-day usability.
