2007
The Jinlun JL 125 T-13, released in 2007, offered an affordable entry point into motorcycling. While Jinlun might not be a household name, the JL 125 T-13 aimed to capture the market looking for practical and economical transportation. Consider it in the same category as other budget-friendly 125cc motorcycles like the Lexmoto ZSB 125 which were popular during that time.
Powering the Jinlun JL 125 T-13 is a 124.6 ccm engine, delivering a maximum power output of 11.5 HP (8.4 kW) at 7500 RPM.

With a top speed of 85.0 km/h (52.8 mph), it's best suited for urban environments. The motorcycle's relatively light weight of 90.0 kg (198.4 pounds) contributes to its maneuverability. It has a fuel capacity of 4.50 litres (1.19 US gallons) which provides a reasonable range for daily commutes and short trips.
The JL 125 T-13 offers a fairly standard riding experience for a motorcycle of its type. The upright stance and lightweight frame make it easy to handle in traffic. Suspension is basic, but adequate for absorbing minor road imperfections. The seat is designed for short to medium journeys, and longer rides may become uncomfortable. It is a naked bike, which means exposed engine and an upright riding position.
The Jinlun JL 125 T-13 from 2007 was primarily aimed at new riders, students, and those seeking an inexpensive and economical mode of transport. It is a functional motorcycle for getting around town, offering low running costs and easy handling.
