I think what Paul is saying is dont let yourself get tired of doing good! We can grow weary of doing good when we feel like we see nothing in return or no one appreciates it but Paul says dont let that stop you because the day is coming where you will reap a good harvest from the good you have sowed! Be blessed brother!
The ability to understand your anxiety back then, and then find an outlet to help you with your anxiety, is a great help. My daughter suffers from anxiety and it's been a tough road for her to figure out how to deal with it organically instead of with prescriptions. As for me, I had a horrible day yesterday and you know what I needed? My 2-wheel Rx! Perhaps you'll help more people than you know now. Another great story in a cycle review. Thank you, Sean! 🙂
THe Gixxer may have a 150cc but its got a body comparable to ones carrying 300-650cc ones.... the gixxer doesnt really give that small motorcycle vibe... well visually at least...
So this is such a great video!! I ride a 2016 zx10r and its absolutely amazing but there is nowhere in Little Rock or any surrounding area that I can even let it experience half of what it can offer so it always has this "caged" feeling since it cant be set free. Thats why I have a 150cc Kymco scooter that reguardless what anyone says, is one of the funnest bikes ive ever had!! Itll run approx 70mph and I can run it full throttle almost anywhere so it just gives that "freedom" feeling!!
Love this video for the simple fact that having a vehicle in general sets you free. I don’t have a car I ride in rain sleet snow. The trapped feeling I can’t handle either
I had a 1981 Honda cb125 and it was awesome to ride around town and back roads and it was a great starter bike on the streets before that I had a 49cc mini chopper my cousin/ boss gave me so I had transportation to and from work and it made me feel free
It's a fact. Little Bikes always get a big, wide, cheeky grin on my face. If you want to have fun on two wheels, get a Little Bike. Big Bikes are for when you get old, miserable, and dissatisfied with life......then you get a Little Bike, and be happy again!....😉...😉...😉...!
It's basically what the rest of the planet typically rides in developing areas.. fuel sipping 125cc, easy to service, tall tired bikes for rough/no roads.. It's the most common bike style of bike in the world
Not everyones first encounter with a clutch is on a bike though.. I'd driven stick for 15+ years before I got my first manual bike and it transferred right over. I think I've stalled twice over a year and a half, mostly from being in 1st instead of neutral. Manual is still King in many other parts of the world.
I had a 2017 k-pipe. I peeled off the "K-" so it just said PIP. I felt it was the perfect name for the bike. I loved the semi auto clutch and the lack of a governor. Sadly i lost the bike when i got T-boned riding it.
I got my first bike in 1964. It was a Honda 150cc with 13.5 hp. 57 years later and 26 bikes later I just downsized to a Kymco Like 150 scooter. It has 150cc and 13.5 hp. So I've gone full circle. At 74 years old now it's fast enough for me and an absolute blast to cruise around the back roads on. I was talking to another customer at the dealership and he asked me how I was going to get it the 35 miles home, did I have trailer or something? LOL! It took me the same amount of time to get home on the Kymco as it took me to get there on my CB500X trade-in. There's just something really fun about riding a slow bike fast.
I started on a 2020 taotao 49cc scooter with 12 inch rims and after a few upgrades it was doing 40+ on a down hill or flat. I just sold it an am looking to upgrade. I think this bike would be great to upgrade too. I rode my scooter 85 miles round trip multiple times. I would love to be able to get up to speed with a bike like this. The bigger tires would be great too
Great video and perspective on the smaller bikes. Would also be very interested in how you view the Kymco Spade within the parameters of small bike utility.
Youre honestly so dope! I can't believe your riding skills. You've definitely sold me on one man. I am small and have a hard time getting comfortable on my 400, so I am looking at getting one of these for fun.
For those who are wondering what a "PIT" bike, It's like ...you be chillin ... walkin along... mind'n your own bidnes... and all of a sudden you see it... a bike along side the road... in a pit. No one is around ... the coast is clear ... so you take it home... then you discover why it was left in a pit. :0
People are always trying to swap them for stuff. You see someone selling a car someone offers them a pit bike in exchange for it. We don't even have any pits where i live...
I love owning my 2017 I got used for 1,100$ with 300 miles on it. Im up to 1,200 and I love it. Ive ridden up the steepest hills in san francisco with my girlfriend on back and back and forth across the city together no problem. We weigh 290 combined. Floored in 2nd gear going 20mph up those hills lol
@@juherald it's been over a year since I owned it but I never remember being uncomfortable. I also hasn't ridden real bikes yet, so compared to a real motorcycle no not comfy. It's only good for the city and offroad maybe. No highways really. I've since owned a ninja 400, yamaha r3, cb300f, and currently have a 2017 crf250L dual sport. Speed got addictive quick and once I hit 110 mph I knew I should sell my sport bike because I just wanted to go faster and that's bad
Actually, many Kawasaki 2 stroke triples had neutral at the bottom. I always thought that made more sense. Then again,my Kawasaki triples were wicked fast,very reliable,sounded cool,and they were cheap,and FUN!!! That makes sense too!!
How tall are you? Also does the kpipe have lights on the front sides of the tank as well??? I really wana get one of these as my first bike. I mean I have a 230 trail bike but I want something street legal that I can learn on and won't be burning a hole in my pocket if I damage it. Plus I love the Kickstart and the fact u can stop in first with the clutch out!
Agree we need this more and ubiquitous. Seems like electric bicycles are coming in instead, but they seem to be way overpriced. Another bike like this is the SSR Lazer moped that is truly a moped but looks like a cycle, only 50cc so doesn't require an license endorsement like my state requires for that 125cc Kpipe. My gen learned on bikes like old Trail 70 and 90 and had a blast, and on mopeds. Need more for this gen!
Thank you Sean. I really like how you share this scripture and then to the cool review. Kimco is manufactured in Taiwan and they have long standing relationchips with Honda and Kawasaki making parts for both.
I thought about getting one of these to teach my daughter to ride, but I got a Z125 instead. I'm still thinking about buying yours. There's something cool about them.
Kymco Krack-Pipe?! Haha. I really wonder how they come up with the names, same with the Spade. You should get your hands on the Spade 150, cool little bike, Grom-eater for sure.
Hell Fing yeah I didn't know motorcycles like this are in America I'm originally from Florida I've been living in Vietnam for few years and while living here I bought a 2020 Honda Future Fi 125 And my bike in this bike have almost all the same features neutral is at the bottom and has a kickstart my motorcycle has a better display cuz it shows gears gas and it shows speed in analog I prefer analog for my gas speed gauge like your position is lights another big Improvement that my bike has I can fit a full-face helmet underneath my seat and I really want to bring my motorcycle to America this because so awesome even though it's only 125 and it's big for a 125
I started out on this bike (or one a year newer) and what he said about this being the perfect beginner bike is true. Rode the absolute hell outta mine. It is a great bike for learning to corner, and realy, very comfortable to ride, even long distances on US roads (Did a 6 hour ride on mine, and could have gone further without major issue) due to its comfortable seat, its good suspension, and being stable on the road. That's the good. The bad is its a CCP (Comunist Chinese) bike, and if you own one, buy a tube of locktite, and take the bike apart, then locktite everything that you can. I lost the Kick starter, the Foot guard, and the Muffler due to bolts vibrating off during a ride. It also has a 250lb weight limit for a reason, as the frame cracked on mine, twice. A wise rider told me to not fall in love with your first bike, and I understand that now. But for what it was (the electrical system crapped out @ 7k miles) the K-Pipe was a lot of fun, and I wanted to ride it more than my current Bike, despite it being 30 MPH faster, and far better looking. If I was shorter, I'd buy a Honda Navi instead as a beginner bike today, but the K-Pipe is still a good choice due to that semi-automatic clutch for a new rider, who wants something that is not a scooter.
Steve Jones true, but I'd also be skeptical of reliability and quality in comparison to the Honda. That's only because I've jad experience with Honda motorcycles but I've never ridden a kymco
Or a Kymko Spade. That's already a 150cc mini bike, and still cheaper than the grom (dunno if the current grom you still have to change the tires as soon as you leave the dealership)
Neutral is in the middle so when down shifting coming to a stop you don't go all the way down and be in neutral and have to shift up... most of us just hit the shifter until it's doesn't shift anymore it would be really annoying to have to up shift all the time
If you have to do an emergency stop, then need to get out of the way, you’d be stuck in neutral with this bike, versus being in first gear on any other bike. It’s basic MSF Safety stuff! I wouldn’t want neutral to be all the way at the bottom.
Kymco.. names with K's and Z's have a very distinct sound. names with these sounds tend to be more memorable. The model designation has k sound as well, it makes it very memorable and perhaps was a strategic move for the company to keep the original branding. KymCo Kpipe. Kinda rolls off the tongue.
In a way, the KJV version of Gal 6.9 was a bit like how you described the name Kymco, it was cool to the people who wrote it, it was cool to the people who translated it, it's way muddled to us reading it now. Its centerpiece was the Greek word, KALON - the highest ideal of moral _and_ physical beauty. Whoever translated Galatians turned it into "well-doing" which is more banal than it ought to be and is seriuosly what the... ...oh, and what a happy, happy little bike. I'm definitely getting one and having it tuned to go off road...oh the places you'll go...
Kymco makes very good bikes at great prices, but they have always had a thing about giving them ridiculous names. Like, People, X-Town, Bet and Win, Grand Vista (Grand Dink in Asian markets LOL), Spade, Agility, Movie, Sooner, Top Boy, Yager, etc. I guess maybe these names are more accepted in Asian markets? I was lucky in that my scooter for some reason doesn't have the usual big "LIKE" badge across the front of the leg shield and only says "LIKE" in one place on each side.
I have one, perfect around town bike. They were originally heel-toe GP shift with a short throw but us Americans couldn't figure it out and Kymco had to recall them and retrofit that 4-up shifter which unfortunately has a super long throw.
It wasn't that Americans couldn't figure the shifter out, it was that US Federal regulations mandate an "up to upshift" shift pattern with neutral between first and second. Somehow Kymco missed that rule until it was brought to their attention that the bikes they were selling in the US weren't legal, then they had to recall them all to refit the revised linkage. It seems silly to me, in the past I've had bikes that shifted on the right and bikes that shifted on the left and rode them both, sometimes on the same day, and it never seemed to be a problem. But I guess I should be grateful for the government's determination to protect me from myself.
Those letters are the companies name do some research. Kwang Yang Motor Company. thus Kymco. Use to be the Taiwan arm for Honda and many small displacement Honda bikes at one time were in reality Kymcos. Some of Kawasaki's ATVs are actuallly Kymcos. They also are working with BMW on products. They have been around since 1963. And are not some fly by night company. They know what they are doing, and their products are of really good quality.
Kymco should rebrand itself to Cobra Cycles and name this thing "The best Damned Motorcycle In The World". 95% of all bikes in the world are under 250cc's, most of those are utility/work/commuter bikes under 125cc's. Just look at India. Nearly 100% are under 125cc's...
thats cool i felt the same way when i was a kid n got my first bike around 13 yrs old and alot of people wont belive me but my first bike was a 1983 yz 490 yamaha. not sure thats legal filming yourself lol
No way change the name Kymco it is a huge success world wide I own a 2012 Kymco Like 200 i ( 17,000 miles) and by the way the Honda CT125 neutral is all the way down too. Kymco has a clutch and the Honda CT125 does not. Screw the highway, people say that so much. The Kymco is a mono shock, no other bike in this range is mono shock. Larger wheels than any other in this category. AND Kymco reliability. Hondas are way over priced. Did you know that Kymco built Honda bikes for decades the logo said Honda built by Kymco and the the BMW650 maxi scooter also the engine for the BMW 310/410 cc eduro bike to this day. Kymco is awsome.
K-Pipe stands for K=Kymco and the Pipe=because to buy that bike you have to be smoking a crack PIPE. LOL. Seriously, Sean, before you make comments about stuff you should do a bit of homework. My wife rides a Kymco Downtown 300i and loves it. Kymco was part of Honda and broke out on their own in the early 1960s and was started by chief designer Kwang Yang and called the new company Kwang Yang Motor Company or KYMCO for short. They continued to make engines, etc for Honda and eventually started making their own scooters and bikes under the KYMCO brand. They are headquartered in Taiwan and are one of the top scooter manufacturers in the world, mostly in Asian markets, because they make very reliable rides that are much cheaper than other manufacturers. They also make engines, I believe other components, too, for big names like BMW. If they made crap products companies like Honda and BMW would not use their engines. Sean, you really need to educate yourself before you shoot your mouth off or people who know better will see you as a moron. As a believer, it is annoying when a fellow Christian does stuff that makes us all look like we are stupid, etc. I appreciate what your are doing with reading scripture, etc, but come on, man, you wrote them down and should be able to read, comprehend, and communicate the Word if you are going to share it on a ride.
The "Rekluse" nature of the clutch sounds interesting. I also found the position of neutral interesting. My son has learned the clutch this year, and he was questioning the position of neutral between 1st and 2nd. He wanted to know why, and why not at the bottom, and all I could say is, "Don't know, that's just the way it is on pretty much all real motorcycles with a clutch."
Kymco does lol. They are in Taiwan, and they make a lot of engines for _other_ manufacturers including Honda, so they are far from unreliable if those manufacturers are willing to put Kymco engines in their bikes
Had bought a kymco scooter 150cc. Was told these were formerly made by Honda more or less discontinued models of which the rights to manufacture were sold to a Korean company with a little redesign of the aesthetics

I own a Suzuki gixxer 155cc and I am convinced that riding a small motorcycle fast is very fun.
Where do you live?
THe Gixxer may have a 150cc but its got a body comparable to ones carrying 300-650cc ones.... the gixxer doesnt really give that small motorcycle vibe... well visually at least...
So this is such a great video!!

Itll run approx 70mph and I can run it full throttle almost anywhere so it just gives that "freedom" feeling!!
ThePhil Thrill where to buy Kymco in Little Rock? I'm currently moving to Hot Springs.
Little bikes are so much fun. Something very satisfying about sounding like a little buzzsaw as you fly around town.
+BassasaurusRex I know right
That’s why I love my minibike build. She goes about 55
The best part of being 16 was how naievely fearless I was. I was clueless , but somehow I survived it intact
'Can I do what I want?'
NO!
'But I kinda feel like I can!!!!'
Love this video for the simple fact that having a vehicle in general sets you free. I don’t have a car I ride in rain sleet snow. The trapped feeling I can’t handle either
Wow! In snow? I was ince riding a moped in snow and accidentally laid it down. The muffler burned my ankle. It was treacherous.
I had a 1981 Honda cb125 and it was awesome to ride around town and back roads and it was a great starter bike on the streets before that I had a 49cc mini chopper my cousin/ boss gave me so I had transportation to and from work and it made me feel free
Kymco stands for Kwang Yang Motor Co Ltd. They sell a lot of scooters in SE Asia and Europe, and they are sticking with the name.
👌What does K-Pipe mean?
Scot L it's Mandarin for Hayabusa
@@noisepuppet 😂
I think instead of Kymco they should go with Kwang Yang Motors. That has a ring to it. 😂
thank God it's not K-pop instead.bike looks good I like the exposed pipe frame
It's a fact. Little Bikes always get a big, wide, cheeky grin on my face. If you want to have fun on two wheels, get a Little Bike. Big Bikes are for when you get old, miserable, and dissatisfied with life......then you get a Little Bike, and be happy again!....😉...😉...😉...!
It's called K-Pipe because the frame and swing arm are made of tubular pipe.
It's basically what the rest of the planet typically rides in developing areas.. fuel sipping 125cc, easy to service, tall tired bikes for rough/no roads.. It's the most common bike style of bike in the world
I think I have found a motorcycle to learn how to ride on.
The forgiving clutch is nice, Not stalling it? That's something that people NEED to experience if they plan on getting into a bigger bike.
Not everyones first encounter with a clutch is on a bike though.. I'd driven stick for 15+ years before I got my first manual bike and it transferred right over.

Its a bike to get around the pits at a race track . just fyi

Better than a Grom and only $1800

Most people don't use the clutch at all on this bike.Its like the yamaha pw80,you just shift.
I just checked the website, and the bike is listed for a very nice $900. Not bad.
Nice appearance of the t100.
I’d take the grom on the basis that Honda engineered the small engine alone.
I'm guessing it's made in Korea ... since the name Kym is probably the name of the CEO.
I didn't follow the leg lock scenario. 8:29 How do the legs get "locked?" Which 125 are we referring to? Thanks.
Kymco makes very good bikes at great prices, but they have always had a thing about giving them ridiculous names.

Somehow Kymco missed that rule until it was brought to their attention that the bikes they were selling in the US weren't legal, then they had to recall them all to refit the revised linkage. It seems silly to me, in the past I've had bikes that shifted on the right and bikes that shifted on the left and rode them both, sometimes on the same day, and it never seemed to be a problem. But I guess I should be grateful for the government's determination to protect me from myself.
@@barryervin8536 Guzzi had the same issue when that mandate came out - they had to run linkages to make it legal
@@barryervin8536 Honda's Super Cub has the same shifter, it just was the US messing with a small company that was importing Chinese motorcycles.
need to get a Kymco spade
+Alabama DS I know right ! They look so cool
Almost getting one of these. Just have to get the wife on board.
This thing is irresistible. It's the least possible motorcycle that's still a motorcycle. Town and fire road bike for days.
Love it.... not a bike he wouldn't.. test drive....
good review and good bike
Could you test the Keeway Superlight 125 ? Please !
Love the top of your helmet
don't know if anyone else has already said it but - Krak Pipe yo! lol.
Those letters are the companies name do some research. Kwang Yang Motor Company. thus Kymco. Use to be the Taiwan arm for Honda and many small displacement Honda bikes at one time were in reality Kymcos. Some of Kawasaki's ATVs are actuallly Kymcos. They also are working with BMW on products. They have been around since 1963. And are not some fly by night company. They know what they are doing, and their products are of really good quality.
Kymco should rebrand itself to Cobra Cycles and name this thing "The best Damned Motorcycle In The World". 95% of all bikes in the world are under 250cc's, most of those are utility/work/commuter bikes under 125cc's. Just look at India. Nearly 100% are under 125cc's...
thats cool i felt the same way when i was a kid n got my first bike around 13 yrs old and alot of people wont belive me but my first bike was a 1983 yz 490 yamaha. not sure thats legal filming yourself lol
My bike has survived me at full speed
No way change the name Kymco it is a huge success world wide I own a 2012 Kymco Like 200 i ( 17,000 miles) and by the way the Honda CT125 neutral is all the way down too. Kymco has a clutch and the Honda CT125 does not. Screw the highway, people say that so much. The Kymco is a mono shock, no other bike in this range is mono shock. Larger wheels than any other in this category. AND Kymco reliability. Hondas are way over priced. Did you know that Kymco built Honda bikes for decades the logo said Honda built by Kymco and the the BMW650 maxi scooter also the engine for the BMW 310/410 cc eduro bike to this day. Kymco is awsome.
Modern ct90 clutch and all
K-Pipe stands for K=Kymco and the Pipe=because to buy that bike you have to be smoking a crack PIPE. LOL. Seriously, Sean, before you make comments about stuff you should do a bit of homework. My wife rides a Kymco Downtown 300i and loves it. Kymco was part of Honda and broke out on their own in the early 1960s and was started by chief designer Kwang Yang and called the new company Kwang Yang Motor Company or KYMCO for short. They continued to make engines, etc for Honda and eventually started making their own scooters and bikes under the KYMCO brand. They are headquartered in Taiwan and are one of the top scooter manufacturers in the world, mostly in Asian markets, because they make very reliable rides that are much cheaper than other manufacturers. They also make engines, I believe other components, too, for big names like BMW. If they made crap products companies like Honda and BMW would not use their engines. Sean, you really need to educate yourself before you shoot your mouth off or people who know better will see you as a moron. As a believer, it is annoying when a fellow Christian does stuff that makes us all look like we are stupid, etc. I appreciate what your are doing with reading scripture, etc, but come on, man, you wrote them down and should be able to read, comprehend, and communicate the Word if you are going to share it on a ride.
I would hate to think one stupid Christian would make all Christians look dumb.
I dare you to hop on 283 with it. Lol
What backpack are you wearing Sean?
The SSR Raskull rules the 125cc bracket. $2k brand new.
Yea that's what I ride . I also have a boom 125 which is identical to the Ssr but 1400 brand new. I also have a lifan150.
Of course, the "P" stands for "Pipe".
the grom is too small..that is the ok size
The "Rekluse" nature of the clutch sounds interesting. I also found the position of neutral interesting. My son has learned the clutch this year, and he was questioning the position of neutral between 1st and 2nd. He wanted to know why, and why not at the bottom, and all I could say is, "Don't know, that's just the way it is on pretty much all real motorcycles with a clutch."
I have 2014 kpipe in
No clutch
What's your height? Thinking if this size will be perfect for me.
Im 6'2 and love mine so much!
Seven horsepower!!!!
KYMCO is an acronym for Kwang Yang Motor Company from Taiwan
Ya like... I'm hungry... let's get us some Kwang Yang. Rite?
Man you hit the nail on the head of Kymco, dumb name and the K pipe is even stupider. The bike looks decent for a pit bike
NOOOOOO! Not that annoying "Life Hacks" music!
i got my son a 125 sport bike from china the bike look nice and most think its a 250
lol look how many views compared to the groms and z125s
Now I want it grrrr
Krack Pipe?
Yup, the transmission is built to allow you to light your krack pipe at all stops and intersections without stalling!
Literally genius...
Dude, you ain't right lol
Who makes Kymco
Kymco does lol. They are in Taiwan, and they make a lot of engines for _other_ manufacturers including Honda, so they are far from unreliable if those manufacturers are willing to put Kymco engines in their bikes
Kymco also makes the engines for those 600-650cc BMW scooters. Which probably makes them more reliable than if BMW built them.
Better question. Where are they manufactured?
Taiwan
Screwing any bike is good
Wow that's a small bike
Had bought a kymco scooter 150cc. Was told these were formerly made by Honda more or less discontinued models of which the rights to manufacture were sold to a Korean company with a little redesign of the aesthetics
It's more of a girls bike
God that things ugly. Looks like an insect. But I know it's fun as hell.
What's ugly about it?
