Wow, this thread is exactly what I was looking for. I found the MC-05-127cc on Superior Power Sports like many of you did and got here by Googling every term I could find. 
Anyways, I am a novice rider and am interested in buying this bike for my first "real" bike. I had a 1983 Maxim 650 about 4 years ago but only for a few months. I was hoping to use this as my first bike to get my endorsement.
Can any of you seriously recommend this bike? If I do decide to purchase it, what all do you think I should get at the same time? I'm looking at a 36T sprocket to put in from the start and running 10w40 during the break-in period. Loctiting everything and starting out with a better quality spark plug. I read on this thread to also replace all of the shiny bolts with different ones to prevent rust. I'm just trying to figure the overall initial cost before making this large of a purchase.
Thanks to anyone who can give me any advice!
