    That's probably one of the nicest 125's I've seen in a while; with a nice pipe on it I'm sue it's sound a bit better too... Not that I'm in the market for a 125, but if I was...

    Those who comment regarding to playing it safe with a Honda or Yamaha 125, that's fair enough but something like this Mondial will get lots of interested onlookers when you pull up at your local bike meet. It's good another manufacturer is putting their money into the 125 category.

    I've seen this close up at a local dealer and IMHO it is one of the best looking bikes around bar none. It has a lovely steam punk feel about it. It would be perfect with the 660cc engine rom my old Yamaha MT03 mk1 with about 50bhp.

    Now THAT is a 125 I would actually consider buying. It looks quite peppy and fun. As you said, it looks like it's as easy as a mountain bike. I think the sound is fine, actually and the only thing I would change would be the mirrors, which really are too far out to filter.

    A very tasty little hoglet. With a petrol gauge too, so it's _not_ expensive to fit. Impressive. Like the remote reservoirs on the dampers too. I'd be keen to see more of the instrument clusters in action if possible. Maybe just me...

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  7 лет назад +5

      +Piotr Wujda Yes a bit more power wouldn't go amiss I agree, but the 125 makes it such a light weight funster...

    • @piotrwujda8897
      @piotrwujda8897 7 лет назад +1

      Well, actually on ther website I can see that they make 250cc version as well. I think that makes a perfect city bike, which may go out of a town on weekends.
      It is a bit pricy though... Maybe not as Yamaha MT-125, which is ridiculously expensive as for 125cc, but still.
      I ride 2016 MT-03. This is really multi purpose bike. Great to get to my job in city center. Also good on a highway, 'cause it easly gets to 140km/h, which is v-max. in Poland. But I belive 250cc Mondial Hipster would meet my expectations as well. And that look...

      @ItsNotMeItsYou007 7 лет назад +10

      I agree, I like the look and I also agree that a 400 cc would be the perfect size but the name is a deal killer. The HIPSTER. Holy crap, how do you come up with a more uncool name? I guess you could call it the HIPSTER DOOFUS, that would be worse.

    Fun to see Mondial name being revived. It looks too youth oriented in style for me.
    I do think that people with big bikes should think about having a small one as well. They are such fun and if you have one in your garage I think you might be surprised how much you use it. I think around 250 cc is ideal.

    It looks so good, and the seating position brilliant. The noise is not a problem for me personally, I like it quiet and when i'm 18 years i'm gonna buy a bigger bike anyway. :D

    hi Mr F.. I bought a couple of bikes off Steve first a yamaha yzf 125 while I was learning, only passed my full bike test last year 😊 and then went back to Steve when I passed and because I only had the 125 for such a short time he did me a right good deal, a straight swap for a kawasaki ER6n 2011 which I still have. For a first big bike it's not to bad at all... but as you know once you get the motorcycle bug you just want more bikes..I would love to own a few but alas the finances won't alow 😦shame ..but I am thinking of changing it this year because I my girlfriend loves going out for a spin ☺ so probably look for something more comfy for two ... you keep up the good work great videos 😊

    Hi TMF. This is virtually the same style as the new Fantic 500 I mentioned recently that's being released in a couple of months. Wonder if they are related? Wonderful bike and it'll encourage youngsters into motorcycling. Why isn't Triumph making small bikes like this? Anyway....nice one!

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  7 лет назад

      +Steve Inskip Ah yes I remember you saying, maybe there is some relation. And I agree, great machines to get people into riding, I reckon if Triumph made a cool, well priced, great sounding,125 it'd fly off the forecourts (I'd have one!)...

    • @Pomoz7
      @Pomoz7 7 лет назад +1

      Agree with that re Triumph, a 200cc and a 400cc would be nice. Get them in on the brand and they will move up the food chain, provided the bike is good of course, which I'm sure it would be if Triumph did it. BMW have release a 300cc bike for that very reason.

    I actually plan on buying the Mondial for commuting to school and it has a fairly good price point compared to other bikes. In Germany you are allowed to ride a 125ccm Motorcycle if you're 16 years old. And I think this is at least from the looks the best looking Bike at 125ccm.

    I own one since this spring. I really fall in love with it. Rides perfectly, brakes are amazing, by the way: both brakes are linked together that's why it is so powerful and stable. Nice review and I fully agree with your comments. I was having a YZF-R125 2014 before this one and I do not regret my decision. The Yamaha was looking like a small replica of a proper racer, but this Mondial, has his own personality.

      One thing no one seems to mention with this bike is the exhaust being in the way. I sat on one today in Dundee and loved it... but my right ankle was on the exhaust and I found I couldn't really use the back brake without some very gymnastic footwork. Is it just me??
      Otherwise I was hella impressed and it's a stunning looking bike. Mondial are mooting a twin 400 which I think I might wait for, or at least the interim 250cc'd HPS300.

    Mondial are steeped in history and have made some lovely bikes,more recently the Mondial Piega which used the motor out of the legendary Honda SP-1 (RC-51). Mondial are very similar to Bimota,they have suffered financial issues due to there super exclusive and highly expansive bikes,so maybe this little 125 can help them get going again and producing bikes that only the Italians can produce!
    The name Hipster is shit but I personally think it looks amazing for a 125.

      I'm not sure how a company that failed when producing exclusive bikes can hope to compete with the Chinese. Not that it's the same company any more. Or is it Chinese? Must not comment unless whole video watched.....

    Looks great! Still, i am very curious as to build quality. It's made in China, will this thing be a rust bucket after 1 day of winter? My mountain bike has many cheap components on it and that was a rustbucket after 1 week of winter. Will you be buying one? If so , it'd make a great owners review series

    Nowhere on their website does it use the word "Hipster"

    Is this too small for me if im 6’1.5 (186 cm) tall, and around 85 kg (187 lbs). Also, i am not particulary looking for this bike, but instead the 300 (250cc)! Do you have any knowledge about the differences or Wether or not that is a better purchase

    Only downside not mentioned is that it doesn't look as if there is much - if any - provision for a pillion.
    And once you pass your test You Want to Take a Pillion! Don't you??

    Does look good and although seems a bargain compared to its Japanese competition it is actually expensive compared to other Chinese manufacturers - yes let's not kid anyone this is a Chinese bike masquerading as a historic established brand. Benelli use the same tactic with their bikes the same as Mike Ashley at Sports Direct buys defunct sports brands, manufactures inferior products and tries to add credibility by sticking on a badge. To be fair being a Chinese product doesn't necessarily make it bad, there are a lot of top quality Chinese built products on the market, in our homes and in our pockets. But, I believe it should be made clear that this is an expensive Chinese bike that is as yet unproven. it is not a cheap European bike nor is it a legitimate Japanese alternative until it has proven it can last through a couple of winters, still run and stay in one piece - and still look good 😉
