    Brilliant!!
    Great review of a 'non-expensive' 125. Lots of people are rushing around, looking for bikes with 150 -200bhp, top speeds of silly figures!! Yet; so much fun can be had on a smaller capacity bike. Get yourself a smaller bike, and go have some fun..........these 3 have!!
    Great video, as always Bruce, keep it up.
    Grumps.

      Cheers Grumps!
      Really has opened my eyes to how much fun is to be had with these wee bikes - we honestly had an absolute scream!
      I still love my big bikes don’t get me wrong, but there’s definitely room for a wee one in the garage when finances allow 👍👏

    This is why I am following your channel, too many" bikers" are dissing the 125cc bikes, they are just sooooo much fun to ride, keep up the great work.

      Agreed, I'm selling my hayabusa because it's simply too easy to go prison speeds on, and is only fun when doing the aforementioned speeds. My little vanvan 125 was far more fun and you were never even going over the limit. There's just too much traffic and too many cameras on the roads in the UK to properly use big sports bikes

      @matthewsmith2432 3 года назад +2

      Yup, on Tuesday I find out if I'm getting a little Suzuki address 125 4 speed semi auto.
      Can't wait, back roads you can't take a bandit 1250 up. Bandit was good fun but I'll get back the sense of adventure I had as a kid on my first Suzuki 70cc 2 stroke step through. lots of grinning to come.

      @@matthewsmith2432 I agree, little 125s are so much fun, and you have less chance of ending up in jail for pinning the throttle, really wish more bikers would give them a try.

    Good review Bruce. There's so many good bikes at a good price for beginners these days. I wouldn't mind some 125cc fun myself, but like you I am 6ft 3 and "well nourished" and I think its a bit much of an ask, but I have recently put a 250 in the garage, and its great winding it on all the time instead of easing off.

I was right behind the group leader the whole way too. Gave me the confidence that these sorts of trips are achievable on a 125 more than anything else, and that I don't have to rush into a bigger bike as soon as I can.

    3:33 If only. it goes back a long way to the 80's 5-speed Suzuki GS125 engine, which was actually a very good engine and was also a bit more powerful than this Fi copy.

      I think from Rykas cafe to our digs in the Peak District was around 230-250 miles.

    I had one of these 3 months old from new in 2014.
    I paid £850 and didn't need to MOT it for 2 years and 9 months.
    The thing was incredible, never broke down, never didnt start.
    Rode it pretty much every day and it was the funnest thing ever as a young rider going to and from uni.
    Sold it for a couple hundred less than I bought it for after all that time, great little things man.

    What was cheaper to fuel? The Apache or the livewire?

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  4 года назад +1

      Livewire actually - cost me £3.50 to charge up today via a public fast DC charge point and it’ll do about 115 miles.
      Apache was about £8.50 and it’d do around 140-160 miles

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  3 года назад +1

      Not with me on it no. It’s a good wee bike as a learner and/or for the road, but I personally don’t think it would take a proper hammering over the rough stuff with a heavy load like myself on it - I could be wrong, but that’s my impression of it after doing some fairly significant miles on it 👍

    If you like the Sinnis "small capacity" bikes, I'm going to be exceptionally interested to find out what the "BIGlittle Adventure" trio of hooligans make of the recently available Mash X-Ride classic 650! Traditional 70's/early '80s "enduro" machine with what LOOKS LIKE decent on road power? What say you, oh beardy, spouted one?

    You mentioned the Sinnis 'fell' over in the car park and broke a passenger foot peg. Was that a poorly deigned or weak peg and should that be expected to happen?

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  4 года назад +1

      I do think the side stand is a bit too long, but this was my fault - I parked the bike on a slope and didn’t angle the bike enough to compensate. As it’s such a light bike, when I put my rucksack down (which is pretty heavy when fully loaded like this) it fell onto the bike and was enough to just push it over the balancing poi t🤷‍♂️😬🤦‍♂️
