I saw a guy yesterday with a really nice 125 and I asked him some specs and he's own opinion on the bike and I think he thought I was lowkey insulting him until I said I really like it I'm in the process of looking for an affordable 125 and that looks like a potential option so we saluted each other and carried on about our day
I have a sinnis rsx efi 2020, it's my 2nd bike after my ancient lexmoto vixen, it's a dark horse. Anyone looking to get a comfortable 125 that's a decent size should look at it. I'm 15 stone and it will do 70 no problem stock. I do look after it though
I've got the same bike and just fitted a 16tooth front sprocket and new exhaust, now GPS I'm getting 8mph. My bike gets regular services. It's a nice bike. Definitely would recommend this bike
Thanks bro 👌, been wanting to get out on the bike but with work hours all over the place at the moment and well the restrictions it's been hard 😬. 😂 Yea boi 👌
I had a sinnis apatch 125cc that was a OK bike to be fair was not very fast had 70 mph out of it sold it now got myself a yzfr125 had 85 mph of that big difference
Good video, but the UM was discontinued last year when UM decided they wanted more money per bike and lexmoto parted company with them, venom is a good bike and we have sold loads, sinnis is a good one to buy but the winner for me is the LXR, Ridden lots of the lxr's and they are amazing only issues they do have is they need keeping clean and the locks some times get electrical issues which was sorted with the gen 2 lock sets Be well and safe buddy
Oh right I didn't know that 👀. I take it that it's old stock that's being stock then? Yeah I really do like the little lxr's, they look massive for a 125 too. Thanks mate, hope you are doing well too.
Brilliant bike, had a little go of one my self and it felt very smooth to ride, the riding position was good too. I felt very upright on it. Definitely would be a good starter bike to learn on.
@@SpikeyOfficialim currently 18, and ive been racing motocross since i was about 4, and have always had an upright riding position, i currently have a CRF450r and i thought i t would be an easier transition from that to to Cb125R because of that upright riding position, and the wide handle bars. like it would be something familiar to me. the only thing im worried about is going from 55hp and 35pound feet of torque to 13hp and 10 pound feet... when you accelerate is it noticable that youre accelerating?like can you feel it like in a car? or is it kinda just like youre slowing plotting along? thanks for your help! Love the channel!
@@BradCB650R Yeah I can understand that and when you do go down in engine size you will notice a difference. But that being said you can still get a good bit of torque out of a 125.

Guys , check out the Zontes ZT 125 U1 . Had mine for 4 months now in the UK and absolutely brilliant. Mark Pulling does a great review , everything he says is true. £3,100 quality build and ride.
Hi, I’ve considered the Zontes and watched Mark Pulling vid…. How are you getting on with this? (4 months on from your post here) have you had any issues, and have you ridden it much? Thx 🙏
@@stoatsngroatsuk5012 Hi mate , yeah really pleased with it. Only done about 600 miles due to winter months but it's as good now as day 1. Apart from the obvious quality build which you notice at first when seeing it , I also considered the component parts before buying. It has Bosch ABS and Bosch fuel injection so there is no 'own brand' copies. I ride out with a mate who has a Kwaka W800 and he's been happy keeping at my speed whilst running it in. We've done a couple of 60/70 mile days out and she's been trouble free throughout. It does grab attention in the car park with comments such as 'that looks really cool , what make is it' . The fact it looks good as well as performs well makes me realise I made the right decision to buy one. It does everything I expect of a 125. If anyone is interested , just go and look at one , have a sit on. The sound from the air box is great when pulling away. Hope this helps. It's Paul by the way , I was using the mother-in-laws sign-in previously but now my own. Stay safe.
@@paulcollings5424 ah, thanks Paul, that’s interesting, and really informative. One thing I really don’t like are the spoke wheels, with the spokes on the outside of the wheel rim! I’ve put a small deposit on a CB125r with 3k miles on, for similar cost to the Zontes, which I’m really happy with - I just have to sell my car to pay the balance! 😜 but cheers for your vid, and this reply. I’m in Sussex, where are you? Maybe a meet up to see both together!
I been thinking to get the lxr for a while now as first bike and see a lot of good reviews on it, the most negative reviews I found until now is that the suspension on the back might be a little stiff for some people
I am 26, only have a £2500 budget to get licence + motorcycle and insurance. What motorcycles do you recommend? I am 5 feet so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Great to see you back bro is there more to come? I hope you carry on vlogging coz your channel is just brilliant 🙏 hope all’s good and you had a good Xmas and here’s to 2021 I’m thinking of starting a channel as well 👊😎👊
There will be bro, I'm looking forward to getting out on my bike too but the current restrictions and all 😬. Thank you bro I appreciate that. You definitely should bro, I will definitely support you on doing that 😁
@@SpikeyOfficial thanks bro I went for a quick blast out yesterday cold but felt great, I’ve got a camera Although not the best I almost did a vlog yesterday but bottled it lol wish I had now 🤦♂️ I am gonna do it though , what camera you using atm 👊😎👊
I had the lxr brand new, 2 weeks later problems started to occur 4 weeks later huge problems started to occur, month and a bit later I realised it will spend most of its life in the garage overall not a good bike at all, I’ve had my cbr r for 9 months not one single problem, if you want a decent reliable bike always pay the few extra quid for a more premium product it will save you cash in the long run because cheap Chinese bikes are... well, cheap Chinese bikes
I haven't owned a motorcycle since 1988, when my daughter was born and I needed 4 wheels. Thinking of getting a 125cc for commuting. Do they usually come with electric start these days, or are they still kick start? 🤔🏍
What would you recommend as a cruiser bike 125 as my first bike just for about a year ,I don’t mind even if it’s an older bike as long is reliable and can reach 70 mph without any struggle and do a bit off road as well .
I work in motor vehicle at a college. We were given a 2 yr old chinese 125 by the owner that had had enough. Name escapes me sorry. When stripped down the metal was like toffee. Bound to fail. Was 3 years ago so maybe upped their game. At same time took rusty old ybr125 yam apart. Altough corrosion was alarming the mechanicals were sound. My own honda anf 125 2003, 60k. Had to replace exhaust and recondition carb. Rest chains and brakes. As new but only ever did 45mph
So honda cb125r(2005-2008) is a good starter bike, but is it slow? Do you think there are cheaper bikes that could maybe have a better performance, i don't have a big budget and i need something that won't be a big cost to buy and to keep
u wouldn't go wrong with any Japanese big 4 125 or the Aprilia 125... if u hv a bigger budget Go for the RE 350... More power ..heavier but way more reliable.. it's a classic and long distance tours would b really comfortable
What about the lexmoto zsb 125 £1900 on the road 11.5bhp cruiser, good reviews and easy to ride for newbies 😁 one of, if not the cheapest 125 on the market
@@tarabottogino cheers, i am looking for some thing my self.. at the moment honda has good value 110cc scooters on offer. just not sure if i fit as am 192cm 110kg now🙄

I have a Lexmoto Isca 70plate I have a full exhaust system by lextek yp4 and its sweet but definitely don't get 300 miles on a tank only getting 160 on a full tank around town also it only goes 65mph but I stick it at 8,000rpm because I need it to last me long time so I up getting about 55mph but yeah it's a great motorcycle I'm looking at trying a sport motorcycle not a naked as want to get a feel to see whats the difference and soon I will be wanting to carry a pillion and I feel as a naked is better for this
Was looking at the sinnis terrain before I got the lexmoto adrenaline. Seat was too low for a big looking bike, although I now have a Kawasaki z650 which has a lower seat than the sinnis 😂
Yeah definitely I would always say go for second hand one if you can. But if not and it's a new bike then obviously that would be the only choice. Unless you wait a bit for it to get cheaper.
