In an ever changing world being thottled by the tree huggers, it is marvelous that these types of bikes are still available! You only live once, go out there and enjoy it!

I've had two of these from being 17 till now 32.. first one was an original xsport 125 and the second was a stomp z140 both road legal and literally the most fun I've ever had on the road... Had no issues with either of them brilliant bikes... Been looking where to get another from is the link on page where you get them from

I have a similar engine and it has lasted well. The valve clearances need to be checked regularly as they can become tight. Enjoyed the review. The thing I noticed about the graphics is that the orange line above the engine doesn’t line up. It looks as though it should be continuous but isn’t. Pitbikes rule the offroad.

@motormax6048 2 жыл бұрын

They can actually be quite reliable if maintenance is done regularly I had one and did valve clearance every 1k miles and oil change every 500 miles and went on till 10k miles no rebuild or issues then upgraded for a 140 rather then 125 my bike always needed to warm up to run right as expected but only needed slight choke not even half choke and fired up and idled nice

@umesh1548 2 жыл бұрын

But surely a pit bike which uses a 4 stroke engine rather than usual 2 strokes that dirt bikes use, means that pit bikes will automatically be a lot more reliable.?

I'm considering a Road Ripper for commuting to work as it's so much cheaper than most other road legal 125s, plus it offers the option of an upgrade to the 190 engine at some point later. The lack of warranty is a worry though, what are your experiences with reliability on these bikes?

They did a road legal stomp back in 2012, i had one, stuck a 140 in it, supermoto 12" wheels, was a hoot but left me stranded on dangerous fast roads a few times, looked great, but unreliable, although if Honda did one with a pokey 125 or the 190 or 212cc motors it would rip.

Re the Graphics; Is it there's no name, or capacity (cc) signage - except on the handlebar pad where it says it's name ?. I suppose you could stick racing 125 stickers on the white rear side bits.

@batch6792 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure if it's the lighting (garage lights, sunshine, ect) - But are the graphics slightly different shades of colour. The orange graphic on the mudguards (left side) definitely looks the wrong shade. Body and fork graphics seem to be the same colour shade. 😀🏍 "Pitbikes rule the offroad". (the bar pad also looked Yellow in colour at the start of the video - but looks Orange later-on in the vid).

Hey, I've been looking to get this bike within a month or so but just have a couple uncertainties... I read somewhere that this bike has a kickstart rather than electric/button start. I am just wondering if the webiste I saw it on is mistaken or did you fit your one with an electric/button ignition? The website I saw it on says it's the same model however it doesnt refer to the year that it was manufactured. THanks for the help!

@motorsforthemasses 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, the 125 road bike has an electric start. If you fit the 140 engine, then it becomes kickstart only.

Do you still need the MOT with it being brand new? As cars don't need them for the first 3 years

@motorsforthemasses 2 жыл бұрын

Bikes don't need MOTs for 3 years from new too, but as this needs an MOT for the registration paperwork, it will then need an MOT every year after.

@somtingwongwai7194 2 жыл бұрын

These frames will fit engines up to a 190cc, throw away that cheap Lfian 125cc engine and get a YX190. Also put actual fork oil in the front shocks. I wouldn't go for long rides as the battery regulator is just a diode, hence no battery protection and will over charge your battery, should swap that as well. The actual factory cost of these bikes are around $500-700USD and that's what you are getting
