Ace model variations by year?

[2b]

Anyone know about different year/models of this bike? Has it changed over time?

Looking at the various pictures it is obvious that there is black or red frame, 50 or 125cc. And that on some bikes there is a handle on left side and on others on the right. Also seems that it may be available in black tank with red frame.

How about the different indicators on the standard bikes? The one for sale here in NZ has blockish like indicators, but in other standard images out there on the interweb they are more bullet like. I could live with those.

Here in Oz we received indicators as in your second photograph, they seem to have allocated different items to different markets for some inscrutable reason.

My bike has a left side lift handle, but some other bikes here have one each side. They seem to be random changes with different batches.

Mine's a black framed 125, in Oz - has bullet style indicators, with handles both sides, and the rear shocks seem different also to some others ...

Went from this, to how it looks like now ...

Hazza's black frame basically matches my 2014ish 50cc, so maybe when the 50 and black frame options were introduced some of these upgrades were standardised:

All black brake resevoir with window
Adjustable rear shocks
Bullet indicators
Handle both sides

Here are some Chinese 150 variations. Not homologated for NZ.

However the white colour is available to NZ for the 125.

The one with Chrome pipe is non-standard even for China. All Aces for all regions come standard with a black pipe according to the factory.

I am leaning towards black frame 125 with the skyteam chrome exhaust, it would need to be ordered for me by dealer as none in the country but factory will not ship with chrome exhaust fitted, but will put it in the same container if the dealer orders it with the bike.
