Don't knock it, 17000 miles on mine without ever having to be adjusted, replaced or showing any signs of wear. If I could get the sprockets to fit the Ninjette, I would be sorely tempted to swap.

They make rustproof (Nickel Plated) chains for bicycles. I don`t know how rust resistant the RK chains that come in different colours are.
