Lexmoto LXR 125cc Review!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Here is my review on the Lexmoto LZR 125cc learner legal motorcycle. I had this bike for around 3 weeks and used it as my daily run around and tested it on different roads. I am honest but fair to this bike keeping in mind it only costs £2,200 brand new with a 2 year warranty. Please note I am not paid by Lexmoto to do these reviews they are happy to loan me the bike for honest feed back.

Would you recommend the LXR 125 or the LXR 125 SE?
@@karlworlock269 the se has better front suspension so if youre a little bigger the se will fill comfortable , also i am considering this for my fist bike
So which would you say better choice Honda varadero 125 XL or this bike ??
Lexmoto, if you give the next version of this an extra 2Kw power and make it 15kg lighter, for under £3000... you'll offer the best value 125 in the UK.
But it will break down in 2 weeks lol
worthlessdollar1 yea
@@TheJPHarvey why
@@TheJPHarvey still under warranty though🤣
@@JDMz yeah awesome. Wait 6 weeks with your bike at the dealers for them to fix a shagged gearbox
Just bought the 2024 LXR125SE. Been riding it a month, and love it, thanks to this review.
I have a lexmoto aspire 125 which so far has been amazing. Been used for doing deliveries quite often and done 5K miles in 6 months. All round great bike and I think top speed I hit the other day was 81 which is insane for a 125. Just waiting to get my A2 license to get into the biker bikes which really looking forward to doing.
81MPH?
Always a good day when there's a Spicy110 review!
After this review I think this is the perfect bike for me, I’ve never sat on a bike and need a 125cc to take my license etc, no one ever gonna keep a 125cc forever but I think this is a great bike for a first timer.
I was thinking the exact same thing !
@@kirstindias258 If you haven’t I’d recommend. I love the bike so much, though I did end up getting the euro 5.
This is genuinely one of the most detailed and useful review I’ve seen of any bike out there. Thank you so much. Subbed. 😁
There are quite a few videos I have done on this bike, if you search spicy110 lxr125 you will see them all. 👍
Those headlights at the beginning look like Johnny 5 when he's pissed off :D
Hahaha what a film!
@@spicy110 hello i am picking up my VENOM today Cannot wait also where can i find the song on your intro. I need that.. or is it just a sample. Much respect cheers
Just imagine the driver in front's reaction seeing those angry headlights on a dark and foggy night. DEAMON BIKE! LOL.
Very informative. If I was interested in this bike I’d imagine you’ve had answered all my questions. Keep it up! 🙂
This has been very helpful and enjoyable to me. I'm looking to get one in about 1 to 3 months once I've done my CBT and this has given me all the information I needed and wondered about the bike. Can't thank you enough. I can't wait to get this as a runaround. 18 years old,5.10 and skinny,this thing should easily get up to 70 for me
I'm am in the same position as you. Did you get the bike, if so do you like it
Andreas Kitsis I haven’t yet got the bike. But I have however taken someone’s I do know bike and tested it on a car park. It’s an awesome bike and I’m in love. I’ll be getting mine next month. Ordering it in 3 weeks and have to get it delivered
@@lilsgaming It's now 3 years on. Did you get the bike and how did you get on with it?
@@colinglen4505 have this mate, all you need to know is definitely get an aftermarket exhaust and make sure you test it so you know you can handle the weight
When it comes to sound, it doesn’t sound bad even at high revs. It’s a 125 after all, they all do sound similar. Top speed you’ll be lucky to get 85mph from bigger brands. This looks good and I love that it has a 150 on the back, I had a 100 on my CBF125 back in the day. Lexmoto have changed my perspective on Chinese bikes, i may buy one of these for my C’London run a round secondhand soon, hopefully it will be a small bargain by the time. Good review.
The zhongshan engines the same as the ones used in UM motorcycles and this bike, is way more rattly at the high end of the revs way more than the other engines Lexmoto use. It's not a problem in reality. But unfortunately many at the CBT age don't judge bikes buy anything more than top speed, looks and sound. So I addressed it as it was one of this things brought up in the comments of the first ride.
I was seriously considering trading in my Adrenaline for this when I pay the finance off in the next 6 months or so. But I'm similar height/weight to spicy and its top end is about the same as my Adrenaline. I think I'll likely go for either the Rieju RS3 or the Hyosung GTR 125 from what I've heard they both reach around 80-85mph :-)
James Brand don’t get a Hyosung or Rs3
The Hyosung weighs as much as a small car and is also underpowered even tho it has the 11kw engine, but then killed it with being far to heavy and the rs3 is the better out the two but if I were you and I was one month ago looking to get back into riding after 12 years out coming from the 2 stroke days (Cagiva Mito) was my last bike owned and after Looking into all the bikes available now and specs and money I went with the Aprilia Rs4. Powerfull fuel injected engine that can do 70mph no worries even when it came out in 2011 it has 11kw -15bhp old money, nice size for a 125 has a wider bigger bike feel than others and cost, second hand low miles well looked after ones can be had for less than 2k
The lxr is good but there not there yet but will be one day.
honestly like these chinese bikes are getting better and better. i bought a lexmoto arrow as my first bike at 17 and its so easy to work on. has the same engien as the cg125 and its so reliable. parts are so cheap and i have palstidipped everything and it looks amazing. i got my bike for 250 quid and i have spent 100 on getting it all modded and it looks and sounds amazing
Jismy :D how did you get a bike for just £250 I’m looking at 125s that are from 1-4K could really use a much cheaper one because I’m still a student and well, I’m skint 😂
never heard of a reliable chinese bike before
"its so reliable" lol that just decredited everything you said
Hello i Like your comment on Chinese bikes as I am buying bike for 50th birthday I am taking lessons at the moment the last time I got on bike was 35 years ago and my first lesson went well me and my family picked my bike yzf_r 125 4500 pounds I joined your channel and next I see is lexmoto 125 and what a bike for 2200 pounds I have cancelled yzf I spoke to lexmoto bealer today to place the order for the bike the bike will not be UK to September 9 there is back order and that suits me fine because am 50 on 10th October and this feed back is from garage post and thanks very much again for your comment and I have being looking at all your post on RUclips all the best gary 👌👍
Looks like quite a decent addition to the lexmoto roster I think it's beautiful
hi there im nick from bournemouth i just got my self one of these bikes to learn to ride on and for some one whos also got back problems and a bit over weight for me it works wounders. it works for every think i need the looks of it are good at the same time i do agree with you that it needs a little bit more power but for what you pay for i give it 9/10 score rate but many thanks for your videos always watch them and hope you come to bournemouth some time cheers
Useful video. Went to look for a 125 today, found the bike with 700 miles, £1899, so figured I'd look for a review. Just bought it! So thanks.
Hi if you see this I'm looking to buy one but all I see online is poor quality reviews how was it in your experience?
@@dylanbyne9408i guess the lexmoto got another victim
Thinking of doing my CBT and getting one of these bikes while working towards my DAS, really enjoyed your detailed review, thanks
had mine for 2 weeks now and love i went from a retro scooter to this does everything I need it to an come on looks amazing if it was not for my L plates you would not know it's a 125. Great videos thanks
can you share some information about fuel consumption of this heavy 125 bike? thanks
Hey, can you tell me your review now?
i’ve been looking over a load of bikes recently and was interested in it, you’ve answered everything and i’m likely to get this bike now. Thanks and great video
New favourite term: "Perfectly acceptable"
167 kg. So tail tidy first. Then remove that charcoalthing under your passengerseat. Fix the brake system, so front brake brakes both discs.
Maybe remove those silver side parts, depending on the looks underneath it.
If you have a little bit more money, a lithium battery.
Now you got a bike below 160kg without too much work and costs. Good for any beginner.
Love the windshield look btw ;)
I'd go with that haha
Thanks, Great Video been looking for ideas for my first bike and your video has made my mind up. The look of the bike reminds me of the Ducati 996 Poster that I had on my wall growing up. Can't wait to pass the CBT and buy it. Great Price for a Good Looking Bike. Thanks Again.
Listening to you thrash the nuts off it for 20 minutes has tired me out, so god knows what it's like to ride. Can't argue with the value or looks though!! Another great review Spicy.
Hey Spicy. Im just getting into the world of motorbikes. Getting on in years I decided to finally go for my CBT. I've been looking at the LXR SE and stumbled across your review. After doing a little digging, there seems to be a lot of mixed views on this bike, from. "Don't touch it." to "It's a lovely machine for a first timer.' I'm looking to purchase this years(2024) model, and was wondeing what your current views are on it. Do they fall to bits like a handful of people claim, or is this just down to Japanese fanboys and simple neglect of regular maintenance? I'd love to hear your views on the newer models over the old as it seems Lexmoto seemed to have refined their quality and ironed out a lot of the issues that plagued the first few lines. Thanks and keep up the awesome videos, they have taught me a lot. 🤘
I have heard of quite a few problems with this that develop over time. Personally, I would not buy one, not to mention the price is a bit high these days.
@spicy110 Thanks for your reply. This was a reply I was kind of not wanting to hear as I absolutely fell in love with the look of the particular model with the half red wheel trim. I have been looking at other 125's. Namely the Yamaha yzf-r and the Honda cbr125r. I'm just worried about buying secondhand. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
It's really tricky for sure, keeping the warranty up on the lexmoto is a cost you have to consider as you must follow the servise schedule. Secondhand can be a nightmare with 125cc bikes, so it maybe worth finding a good rateded dealer that offers warranty on used bikes, you pay a bit more but you have back up. Sorry not to be able to give you a golden nugget of info it's just a risk you need to look in to and pick a way.
@spicy110 I guess it's just like anything second-hand it can be a bit of a minefield, exacerbated more so with 125's by the fact that first-time riders aren't necessarily going to be looking after them beit through lack of knowledge(hence the reason I believe they should make watching your videos before the cbt test compulsory 😂) or just wanting to thrash the hell out of them. I may just bite the bullet and save save save and just go brand new, but that in itself has inherent issues, much higher insurance premiums, if I drop the bike or ditch it, which is inevitable at some point in its life. If you had to choose a good first time 125, what would you recommend? Like I said, I was looking at the Honda or Yamaha, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Maybe a video on this is would be nice. In depth buyers guide perhaps, depending on what you intend to use it for. I'm sure many other cbt riders are in a similar dilemma. Thanks again for your replies and time.
Strange, my lexmoto lxr 125 hits 75mph all day long and it gets to speed quickly. I've done a 4 hour motorway journey at a constant 70mph with no issues at all.
I'm 6'4 and 15stone. 😃
When did it go to the scrapyard?
Loving the video of the lxr125, nice sized bike for a 125cc, but the trouble is with the size comes the weight as well, but they are nice looking. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos. 😁👍
Finally nice to find some one as big as me doing these review now i can learn what bike i can ride as we are both 6ft 4 only difference being i am 22 stone not 15
After watching your review I have ordered an lxr125 and to be honest I can’t wait to ride it
Got it yet? Your thoughts on it?
I've ordered one of these, pretty much based on this review and your 'first ride' video of the LXR. This is just about the only serious and unbiased review of the LXR on RUclips atm. I love the look of the bike and I don't mind the extra weight as I don't need outright speed, but I am soooo looking forward to actually riding a 125 that looks like a normal sportsbike! Perhaps I'll get a few more nods on the road! ;-) Anyway, it was through this video that I became a subscriber and I've been watching many of your riding videos to keep me sane while my new LXR is shipped over. I really appreciate your insights and random thoughts too. Keep it up! (also, you have my respect for handling everything you've been through over the last few years, seeing how far you've come to be at this point. I hope you stay happy!) :-)
Still using ?
@@tomaszpakua2457 Yep. It's a fantastic motorcycle, I'm really pleased with it.
@@BenDavies1977how did it end up serving you ? Looking at getting one but worried about reliability
My workmate bought a Lexmoto 125 Titan scooter for just £1500 in June 2017 brand new and he's had 100% reliability as of Feb 2019 - only snag, it'll barely top 50mph so looks like your extra £700 was money well spent. Thanks for the vid and good happy riding!
Great video. Thanks mate. Feel a lot more clued up now when deciding what to get (probably an lxr)👍👍
I will add as this is an older video, there are some known issue with this bikes by now. It's to do with a water drain hole on the side of the engine being in the wrong place. In short if you keep it outside get a cover.
Nice 125 it just needs a a better engine but it would do Me nicely to ride around town I have a old chinese cg125 look alike it broke but I fixed it easy the new chinese bikes are really good in like the new chinese motorbike good review
just had a trial today on a motorcycle and have now booked my CBT for the 3rd of August and this is currently the bike I'm looking into :)
17 in January but saving for this bike, the waits killing me
Is a trial free cause I want to see what it’s like to ride a bike but don’t want to pay loads
To be fair for what it costs i'd be happy for it to start every morning in all weather , to and from work sorted
Have you bought ? When is raining, it's not a problem ?
Collected exact same one today! Loved the ride out as well. Having the Lextec YP4 can fitted on Monday 🙂
Hey would you recommend for someone who is 5 foot 6 ? 20 Yr old ?
Thank you so much for this video, I'm currently looking to by my first motorbike and I've had my eyes on this model for a moment now. Seieng your video really helps making a choice, I like how clear and understandable you are, taking time to develop like you did was amazing. Also nice riding :)
Did you end up buying the bike and how was it ?
Great video there bud.Beautiful bike by the way, but was wondering what your view was on the tekken. I'm stuck between the lxr tekken and the adrenaline. Hope your back doesn't play you up too much. Keep up the great work there mate 👍
Bit late to the party but I'm about to buy an lxr 125 bit banged up and get it going good. Brilliant review
lovely looking little bike!
I've been looking at getting this as my first bike and this was an incredibly useful video to help with my choice, cheers
Same, Did u get it?
Would this bike be suitable for someone who is 166cm tall? Around 5,5, or would I struggle to stand flat ? Thanks
Definitely mate :)
Can it tow a caravan?
Nah, doesn't come with a tow bar mate. Could prob retrofit one though?
With ease
im 6'2 any tall people had any experience with this bike, i previously had a hyosung gt125 which felt like a decent sized bike for me, im interested in this bike but dont want to look like a muppet on a bike thats too small
Did you watch the video? He's 6ft 4
Would you say this is a good first bike to get on a provisional
british fireworks Its up to you, I’m personally thinking of upgrading my Peugeot 50cc to a lexmoto Venom or a Viper, they look more learner friendly
I just realised that this is hayling island aha
- Great review though, helped alot
I enjoy all your reviews. So much so I'm watching this one again. I'd love to see an isca review 🙂
I'm looking at one of these, but I'm worried about 1 thing. I'm only 5'6, so would it still fit? I don't want to be stuck not being able to reach the ground :/
Being 6-foot 4 it's very difficult for me to say, best bet get to a dealer and sit on one 👍
@@spicy110 Thanks lad. I'll have a bit of trouble finding one, but I said no harm in asking. Really difficult to find one in Ireland :/ Thanks for the fast response though
Beautiful looking bike but after having my MT 125 stolen and never recovered I don't think I'll ever get another
Such a shame for you - felt that pain before when my CB125R got stolen in 2018, luckily the idiot rode it around town so it was recovered in 24 hours. those 24 hours killed me though, and i also said that if my bike wasn't recovered I would give up
Its a shame Honda doesn't make the v twin Varadero anymore i love mine. They are still very popular bikes, Especially with taller riders and they will tour very well. And do high mileage as well as being very reliable, And the clutch is light enough to change with one finger and the gears are silky smooth, top speed around 75mph but its a big bike one of the biggest 125's looks more like a 600cc its hard for any 125 to meet all the positives of the Honda Varadero.
Bit of a let down tbh. It's by no means poor it's just when I saw it I was hoping lexmoto might have stepped it up again is all.
I feel it's got pointless amounts of weight onto it. You said the frame is for another engine so it's already too big. Which means the tyres have to be bigger which is also more weight...
Then you got that stupid extra disc which isn't light either.
They should of given an engine with a bit more juice since the bike is heavy then it wouldn't matter if they pumped the price up slightly.
There's the hawk for a cheaper sports bike option, this could of been there more expensive but more powerful option.
The reason they have the extra disk break is to conform to the new Euro 4 Law, any new motorbike needs to have either ABS as standard or "Combined" Breaking as Standard :)
It is more powerful then the hawk...
@@midenking9651 Don't they get to the same top end speed at the same time?
Erm... the lexmoto hawk has disappeared off of their website or is that just me?
@@09mantlek It's no longer being sold by them I believe. I think Genata bought the rights to the model.
Clean looking full stop the gsxr 125 is also a banging little 125
I just watched "ER6F VLOG" and he mentioned you in his video and I felt I needed a little more spicy in my life so here I am.(just kidding I never miss a video) Lex 125 kinda looks as big at my Honda 300R. You have a sexy looking bike dude. I want a key-shirt...lol
Hi spicy im very interested in getting the lxr do u think it would be a good bike for nervous/new rider's also was wondering what the mpg is for it thanks
Can buy a zontes scorpion for only 1799 near me
They're a really nice bike and a helluva lot more reliable
Some dealers might actually downright refuse to work on a lexmoto bike
Where u at
@@wadehamilton8381 uk midlands
So question is, do you know any 125's that ARE good on dual carriageways?
ruclips.net/video/mVz4nqUq1rU/видео.html
I do 120 miles journeys from Bristol to Torquay and back on this LXR often, does perfectly fine. While I have an A2 license this is my 4th 125cc and other than the riding style of the new Lexmoto Michigan this is my favourite yet.
I get their half the price but a yzf 125 will be worth £3000 in 3 years where that bike will around 700
Refer to my Chinese vs Japanese video linked in the disruption. I think you might be surprised when you do the maths.
You can make the bike work for its money me i would say buy one of these for 2.200 use it for 2-3year s 0 buses cheap transport sale after 2-3year money saved
I would not buy a second hand 125 weather it be a yzf125 Honda 125 or lexmoto as most of you would have not budgeted for service costs serviced but the user no thanks
all would have been therapied to death trying to get 70 mph out of them 55 to 60 is where you should ride with little in reserved if needed
Hi mate enjoyed the review, would you recommend this as a good starter bike? I am 6 foot 1, 12 stone. I only have a budget of about £1500 and looking at sports bikes ideally. Will be binge watching your videos to help pass my test!
Hey Spicy110, What's the name of the exhaust that Lexmoto fitted for your review unit?
And if you happen to answer, would you have a recommendation for the best performance exhaust for the LXR 125/380 to pick out? Currently trying to improve highway performance.
It is a lextek exhaust, lextek is a sister company to Lexmoto. However putting a exhaust on a 125cc is going to do nothing for highway speed. It would need to be re-mapped and I do not know of a way to re map the LXR ecu. Even then you might add a couple of HP if you get lucky. The better bet is to change the gearing for more top end but you will lose acceleration for it.
I'm 16 turning 17 in about 8 months so doing my research for what bike to get. I would really like to see a review on the Lexmoto Venom as that looks like a pretty good bike - do you have any opinion on it, have you used it at all? Also any recommendations for relatively cheap 125's that are learner legal and have decent power + aesthetics?
then cause another teen accident because they were stupid going 70 to mph
@@kieranwright1401 Thanks bud, ended up getting an Aprilia RS4 125 for a fantastic price. Was hit by a middle-aged woman running a red light outside of my school, no injuries but she went to court. Well done on the assumptions.
@@WOUBZYsame position as you 4 years ago man, doing test and gettin a bike in 2 weeks, what is a good 125 to start on?
@@Bobinous7 I owned quite a few bikes and the best one I owned was a used Honda CBR 125R Repsol. However, the best bike I rode, period, was my friends CB 125R (brand new - the naked version of the CBR 125R). I'd recommend a naked bike over a sports bike if you can find a used one for a reasonable price. I would not recommend going with a new bike as your first bike unless you have a ton of expendable income!
@@WOUBZY def don’t have a lot of disposable income, looking to spend £2500 max, ty was looking at the cbr125r but didn’t know the naked version made much of a difference! Does it make a huge difference in price and power ?
What engine oil do you use for it? And what tyre air pressure are you using?
Can i get this bike in Sweden?? Is it possible to ship it that "far"?? I need answers..
Tant0n your best bet is to find a dealer closer to you as your only covered by a registered lexmoto dealer for warranty etc
Hey spicy i was wondering what fuel the LXR takes?
Does the exhaust void the warranty?
I wouldn't imagine so, certainly not if fitting a lextech part. Rather than fitting it yourself, get it done at a Lexmoto dealer during your next service if you're concerned.
It's likely my next step as mine is about to hit 4000 miles and have been doing much more long distance (100miles+) recently.
Thanks for the Video, do you have any idea of what type or brand of crash bungs that will fit on the LXR
Do love a 125cc review mate good vid 👌👍
Any plans to review the brand new LXR Spicy?
Hi Spicy, I've not been riding for a while and can pick one of these up very cheap. Is it worth it to hop on for the summer? Or wait and buy big.
hey Spicy what would this bike be like for someone at 5'7 also what do you think of the Lexmoto Falcon
They sell that in the Philippines with 250 or 400cc engine, a good bike overall because you're getting a 250cc engine for only 800 usd more or less.
Hi mate. Am gettin one of these in a few weeks. Does it have any security on it ie alarm/immobaliser etc. Cheers pal.
What year model is this? Is it any different to the 2019 model
Looking at buying one of these bikes, need something for the commute between Eastbourne and Brighton, commute has a few hills to go over
Great review spicy of a really nice looking bike
I feel you missed an important detail out. What does it look like in Tescos? Joking aside top review nice looking bike for the cash and hopefully a few more bikers on the road. The back sounds better less grunting in this video hope its not much longer for the jabs
Great review my dude, hows the pain levels doing?
Now high haha but the bike goes back very soon and I get the comfort of divi again 🙂
ive watched this video so many times i so want this bike
Spicy. Love your reviews. I have only one question. And it’s on all the lexmoto bikes, perhaps all Chinese bikes. The designs are nice but why is it that none has hp near the limit allowed? Why are they often 4-5 hp down on yam yzf, ktm, Aprilia or Suzuki or even some Hondas? Do you think, that they have not yet figured out how to squeeze more power out of their engines?
no - they just do not design their bikes for max speed - they care more about how long they last and how cheap they are to mass produce to service the huge japanese and chinese bikes. japanese 125cc bikes are more premium at the top end, but you will find bikes like Honda CB125R and Yamaha YS125 that have 13BHP and 10BHP respectively
For a first time bike for someone who’s new to cbt would you recommend this? Been looking into the Repsol 125 but I gotta admit this is one of the most beautiful bikes i’ve ever seen
All 125cc bikes are fine for learners. Pick what your mind and heart says is right.
spicy110 I mean my eyes say the yzf-r125 but honestly your review really caught my attention, very affordable for my budget and I do think i’ll get my moneys worth out of this bike. Thanks for the quick reply too you got a new subbie
@@Omega513 hey there mate. I'm 19 and planning to get this too. What do you think ? Do you still have this ?
@@usamanazeer2837 i ended up getting a yzf r125 which didn’t take me long to realise it was poor judgement, I bought a Lexmoto 125 which was amazing, it’s also considerably heavier then other 125s allowing you to adapt for heavier bikes in the future
@@Omega513 Oh yeah. That's great. Will it fit me I'm 19. Like the handling ? I'm just curious because it might be hard for trying and etc.
Was thinking of getting one
I need some advice please. I am due to do my CBT next week and want a cheap bike to drive around to get experience . I do have a UK full driver licence and I am old enough to drive a 125cc.
Which bike or moped would you recommend?
It looks like a cross between a Gixxer and a Honda R1. It's lovely.
Honda r1? 🤔
Cara, que moto bonita! Poderia ter dessas aqui no Brasil !
Não tem? Achei que tivesse. Cumprimentos da Escócia
Do you think that an LXR 125 can do a 350 mile road trip?
I do 120 mile, each way, journeys on mine often and it handles perfectly. Can't see a reason why it would have issues.
could you do a video on general bike maintenance? or have you already done one? I'm getting a new bike soon (finally moving from scooter to geared) and its a chinese bike, from what i'v heard they can be great bikes as long as you maintain them well and am just wondering what sort of things to do. I'm already planning on getting something to cover the chrome parts and help stop rust over the winter.
I don't have a specific video on it but in short.
Regular oil changes is advisable thankfully then don't take much oil so no expensive to do. Regular chain adjustments when needed. Protection from rust can be done with a spray called acf50, this most needed in winter. Let it warm a little before riding hard will help the engine. Keeping things lubed that should be like the chain and cables. Generally keeping it clean helps.
It's the same for most bikes really.
If anyone wants to add anything I have forgotten please give your input. 🙂
thanks for the quick reply! I think i remember someone talking about ACF 50, ill look into getting some! And ill make sure to keep an eye on the chain and cables regularly and keep her clean :)
Can the engine be bored out to make it faster?
For someone who is new to motorbikes, what insurance would you recommend?
Can't believe that price + 2yr warranty
Hopefully going to get a naked lexmoto soon! They seem so reliable and are so much cheaper than comparable bikes. :D
wanting to get this as a first bike, very informative :) hopefully i can reach the floor seeing i’m 5ft1! 😂😂
How does it fit lad? I'm 5'6 so I'm worried about the same thing
@@kelly44-l5v you'll fit and touch the floor fine. My daughter is 5ft 3 and she can touch the floor
@@JDMz yup, I've put 700km on her so far and I love it. No issues whatsoever :)
@@kelly44-l5v would you say its a good commuter ha? I'm interested in it too
@@laurencooper1169 hiya, she was great. Did 3000kms on her but crashed last week and broke both my arms when a car pulled out in front of me. She's totalled now :(
How many miles can it do before the engine needs to be replaced as I'm looking at it doing 50,000 miles easily without any problems
Do these come with a slipper clutch? Cant find anything about the clutch online.
watched a few lxr vids the rattle at high revs is definitely the exhaust in my opinion ...
Do you know which clutch levers fit this bike thanks
This guy just persuaded me to buy one of these. Amazing review mate, keep up the good work. Anyone know how much insurance is for a 17 year old ?
Insurance works on so many factors the bike may not be the biggest influence. In short just get quotes 🙂
I’ve heard around £500 but could be wrong
Dont buy a chinese bike. How many times does it need to be said. It WILL break down, it has shoddy build quality, lexmotos have even had abs stickers on bikes without abs. They are dangerous
@@TheJPHarvey no-one here really values your opinion - have you ever even owned a lexmoto?
@@adamgladwin8067 you speak on behalf on everyone on youtube? And no I haven't, I have a job and money. I have never been bummed in the arse but I know I don't want it
Getting the Blue/Silver one tomorrow going to be driving on Scottish roads
Fox' 333 how is it mate?
Super Chad 😂😂
@Super Chad Spot on mate. The service company asked me to deliver it for a time that the place was shut and after that they told me the warranty was not valid due to more miles that It was meant to have. Now the bike is semi driving meaning it has days where it runs and days when it doesn't.
Fox' 333 that a common thing?
@@MrScateboy For a Lexmoto dealer ship yeah seams like it. The bike parts are cheap but that only means they break quick, The bike worked fine for about 4month with 1 self service done to it.
Spicy have you any experience with the chieftain from lexmoto I have a pcx but having problems with it just now so looking to buy something for a not bad price while I get a chance to look at it closer 👍
Not ridden that one yet sadly.
@@spicy110 no worries mate just going to get an xmax I think 👍
would you recommend this for a first bike at 17 on my cbt?
All 125cc bike are made for new rides on a CBT so yes it would be fine. 👍
@@spicy110 thank you so much , if you have more content on this bike I would love to watch some 😁
I have quite a few videos on it as I had it for a few weeks for the review. 👍
Spicy can you please see if you can review a kymco ck1 125cc bike?
How do you find the Lexteck exhaust? I've been looking for an exhaust and I have been looking at Blackwidow but then also have seen Lexteck now and since you have used both I was wondering what your opinion would be?
Hey it so happens this one this is the same one I fitted to my DRZ video here ruclips.net/video/V40gNAh0YSg/видео.html as you can see its a old video now. The same exhaust it still on that bike looks good as new and no complaints at all! I have a black widow on my xj6 and again no complaints. So sorry if that doesn't help but either way they are both good.
Looking to get my first 125 what’s the best to get I was something that pulls and on the more powerful side
Depends on the budget and what you want to do with it, there is no "best". If you are looking for a bike with the max power on a CBT then some Yamaha's offer that, at a cost I will add! I do have videos on this subject in my playlist Motorcycle tips for new riders here ruclips.net/p/PL-ow7a_42PpS4RoPPNeBgQ3oEagBWT9Ey
