@TwoWheeledApproach You could say it's my first bike as a 35 year old, last time I got on one I was a teenager. Keep making these great videos. You really know your stuff.
Yes definitely if it had been my bike and not my mate's I would change the exhaust. My Honda CRF has a after market yoshimura and power commander great improvement. Take care
hi Luke I've been looking at 2 stroke as my next step up. Because of from what I learned the power to weight and there is less to go wrong. And lastly the smell👍. Please you liked my video take care. Dave
Yep it's only a small problem but I totally agree I've got a Honda CRF now and it's definitely better knowing. Enjoy the MT great little bike take care
well I would appreciate your advice. I've been looking at this bike as I am 6'5", am 58 and having a full on midlife crisis and decided to learn to ride, complete novice and just passed my CBT. Aiming to get a full license but need to practice on something beforehand and will most likely get something bigger (an ADV bike) once I've passed. Would you recommend this bike in those circumstances? And would you say it is worth holding onto for the off road capability afterwards? ty (:
First definitely worth holding on to after as personally road is good for going places but off road is fun and you can stay local. Practice on a small cc bike is definitely worth doing otherwise you will end up paying out for hours of training on a big bike when all you need is time. Any bike with gears will be fine for your practice but make sense to get something you think you will keep. Just remember that the seat is hard and narrow you may end up with a air cushion. I'm loving green lanes and riding off road will definitely bring your confidence up when on road and at your height your be able to put your feet down which is nice you will probably like how tall it is ,then the training big bike you ride will probably feel small as it will most likely be a Honda hornet or something like that. I failed my mod 1 first time when over the line on u turn mod 2 was fine my instructor was great like he said unlike in cars the tester is a biker too and wants do well just enjoy it. Take care and welcome to the club. Ps the TAM popcast is a good listen about all things off road
seat height is big but one has to consider the width of the seat. As it is so slim, can't compare this kind of bikes seat height to a touring bike for example
I'm sure it will be fine I'm 75kg and then add a backpack full of camera gear it was no where near bottoming out. There is adjustable suspension on preload on the new one. Take care
It does have self retractable side stand tho. But personally I didn't like that lol. Sorry know idea what's new not seen a old one. Is a great starting off road bike
Hi mate it's a good cheap off road so if green lanes is your choice you may have to learn to ride some big as most off road bikes are bigger. The only one that I know of is my bike the Yamaha two there was a Suzuki bam bam or something like that they are good off road and low seat height. Take care
Hi there, i used to have a 2011 aprilia sx125, which is about the same height as this rx, im only 165cm tall and had no problem with the seat height, i was tiptoeing a bit when coming to a stop, but since its a lightweight bike it wont be an issue
Yes mate my new CRF rally is pretty height. I was trying to say to new just started out riders, that think off road bikes look good that they are tall compared to normal road bikes.
Hi I would say cruising would probably be around 55-60Mph it will go faster probably 75 if pushed, but it won't be good for you or the bike for a long period of time. Obviously rider weight plays in on the speeds. Take care
Who needs a fuel gauge anyway? Back in my day, you knew you had ran out of fuel when the engine cut off 🤣
Lol hopefully not miles from anywhere tho. Take care
It's a cracking bike. I'm still enjoying.mine for the green lanes. A rear shock up grade is a must and I've ended up with 10w oil in the forks.
Yes definitely cheaper then the Honda and all I would ever need off road/green lane.
amazing bike. i have same but 2018 model bike. Riding this since 2 yr.
Is it still going strong? Any issues?
Thank you for this very nice review of a bike I am considering buying !!
Quality review. Ive been looking at buying one for a first bike and I live in a pretty rural area. Im sold.
Cheers Tony welcome to the off road club is it first bike ever or first off road. Either way it's a nice starter bike enjoy the green lanes.

Brilliant video. You explain things so well.
First job I did was ditch the exhaust which is stupid heavy and sounds awful it now sounds amazing and wakes the neighbours up 😎👍
Yes definitely if it had been my bike and not my mate's I would change the exhaust. My Honda CRF has a after market yoshimura and power commander great improvement. Take care
Great review 👍 nice bike
but i would never ever swap my 1994 rx for one, they dont have anywhere near the power of the old 2 stroke
hi Luke I've been looking at 2 stroke as my next step up. Because of from what I learned the power to weight and there is less to go wrong. And lastly the smell👍. Please you liked my video take care. Dave
You deserve more subscribers bro
Solid review 👍
cheers mate I enjoy making them and if people get some enjoyment or learn something there great. Take care Dave
Been looking at these but not having a fuel gauge would give me anxiety so I'll now stop looking at these and look at the Yamaha mt 125 instead 😂

Nice review, keep them coming 👍
Great review i enjoyed it. Subscribed😊
What brand u suggest for more soft suspension
Hi,thats a verry nice bike...i have one question...If i have 95 kg...do u think it will carry me or im to overwheight for this bike?
I'm sure it will be fine I'm 75kg and then add a backpack full of camera gear it was no where near bottoming out. There is adjustable suspension on preload on the new one. Take care
No cruise control , no 6 axis ABS , no traction control, no hill assist...
Just joking.
It does have self retractable side stand tho. But personally I didn't like that lol. Sorry know idea what's new not seen a old one. Is a great starting off road bike
@@TwoWheeledApproach Thank you for the quick reply.
It does have abs. Rx has front abs. The sx has dual channel.
@@JDMz but no six axis ABS 😄
What's a similar bike you could suggest for shorter riders?
Thanks
Hi mate it's a good cheap off road so if green lanes is your choice you may have to learn to ride some big as most off road bikes are bigger. The only one that I know of is my bike the Yamaha two there was a Suzuki bam bam or something like that they are good off road and low seat height. Take care
The aprilia sx. It's exactly the same as the rx. Just smaller
Can you tell us what is new for 2023?
Colours. That's it.
@@JDMz That is what i was thinking .
What's your height? Is this bike suitable for 1.74m (5'8) or I wouldn't touch the ground? 🤔
Hi mate my guess would be you could probably touch the ground with one foot but not both. Best to go and seat on one. Have fun 👍
Im 5'9 and can touch the ground on tip toes ...
Hi there, i used to have a 2011 aprilia sx125, which is about the same height as this rx, im only 165cm tall and had no problem with the seat height, i was tiptoeing a bit when coming to a stop, but since its a lightweight bike it wont be an issue
Ah 905mm is nothing for an enduro. The WR450 is 960mm.
Yes mate my new CRF rally is pretty height. I was trying to say to new just started out riders, that think off road bikes look good that they are tall compared to normal road bikes.
do you know how to chenge mph to km
Tells you in the instruction manual
Can you tell what is the cruising speed?
Hi I would say cruising would probably be around 55-60Mph it will go faster probably 75 if pushed, but it won't be good for you or the bike for a long period of time. Obviously rider weight plays in on the speeds. Take care
@@TwoWheeledApproach Thank you.
What year is your RX ?
hi mate it's new it's a 2023. Take care
