Mate what was your opinion of the Lexmoto bike? I’ve just passed my CBT and looking for a 125cc bike, but I can’t decide if I should buy a new Chinese built Lexmoto or a 2nd hand Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki etc that is a few years old? Some have said buy new as you’ll get the warranty but others said buy a 2nd hand Japanese bike because their more reliable and better built and you can get the parts if you need too repair it🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

@@matty6848 I'd love to give you a solid answer, but the truth is it depends what you're after and what situation you're in. If you're going to pass your big bike test after your CBT or want as little fuss with a 125cc as possible, buy new. No MOTs, you'll know its condition, you can get things repaired under warranty easily if your dealer is decent. If you don't really care about history or condition (kids tend to rag them and not look after them) and you're mechanically competent and have time to fix potential issues, get a second hand honda, yamaha or whatever. If your intention is to pass your bike test as soon as you can and you just need some wheels, get a second hand lexmoto lol My Lexmoto still works fine. It's only done 4k miles, I've looked after it, serviced it to schedule. It's relatively comfy and does all my short trips well. Used to be my trusty commuter before covid and is now relegated to going shopping. I've taken it on 100+mile rides occasionally. I've got no real reason to keep it but every time I think about selling it I don't. It will need the brakes checking, new chain and whatnot before its MOT in Jan though. Luckily the Isca has been renewed so in theory parts shouldn't be an issue. Someone else might have a different experience. They might have bought their Lexmoto, not serviced it, run it like a dog, dropped it a lot, revved the nuts off it and it's broken inside 6 months and they've blamed it on Lexmoto because it's cheap.

@@TriggsRiffs thanks for the reply really appreciate it. Not made my mind up yet, but I will do after some more research👍🏻🙂

​@matty6848 I've had a lexmoto isca as long as it's been looked after and serviced regularly then it runs like a dream unfauntley the previous owner was shit at running the bike in and probily diddnt service it often and me being new to bikes I wasn't the best at knowing when to service the bike the only major issue I had was I think the crank went just over 17k miles but I can almost guarantee that was probily my fault because I ragged the bike about. I also did a 250 mile road trip hardly stopping and I think the bike was running to hot cuase it wouldn't go past 45 mph but to be fair I basically red lined each gear so ye but on that trip it averaged 70-80 mpg if you rode better then me you could probily get alot more mpg when I can afford to I'm looking at buying another one or mabey a lexmoto assault

No one wants them compete to "cool sports bikes", the fields we rode on in the past are now full of houses.

why not with 15hp? might just swap sprockets and get extra 10-15mph

Shame they are only 8 or 9 bhp and ssme in torque . ​but that been ssid exhuast , intake and tune would see 15hp but still rrstricted by the gearbox, but sprocket would help @@MartinLV.

Full lextek exhaust racing cdi which kills off the rev limiter and upjetted by 2. The bike was awesome very quick off the mark for it was loved it

Haha no, You say that like their was one intro and outro before, over the years I have had about 5 or 6 different ones.

@spicy110 I didn't realise, I just got so used to seeing one, never knew you had so many. I should have known really, you have been on KZfaq pretty much since it came online. 😄 It was just an idea, no worries.

No I cant get Reeno insured on them for this. Also she hasn't got a hope of riding one of these at her height. Haha

@@spicy110 That's a shame, would have been ideal when you've got both bikes at the same time. Looking forward to the green laning, ride safe.

That's all covered in the review, this is just a first ride.

You could use pretty much what ever end can you want. Just going to need to check inlet pipe size and overall size.

Get the MT, ridden one and its great and faster

I clearly do not disagree.

you mean for off road or ride Hight? TBH I do not know a fig for either it is just a odd question.

@@spicy110 like take as an example an MT 125, its minimum ground clearence is about 160 mm. I cant seem to find it about the SMR anywhere. And i mean the the height from under the motor to the ground, you know

Pretty sure that's still using the same engine as the UM DSR I reviewed a while back, they are the same bike both rebadged.

@@spicy110 you're dam right se as the FB Mondial hipster and smx 125

Pretty sure they stopped selling them a while ago.

@@spicy110 Oh i was unaware of that, Thats sad!

I have a feeling it was euro 5 that knocked them out.

@@spicy110 Real shame, RIP Apache

Yes, my old pulse would do 75 on the flat, once got 82mph down a hill.

Congrats.

Since when? Got a link to that info?

tail high as the front it up as far as it goes

They always copy the looks of big brands, that's how China do.

What bike is yours?

@@alexonwheels4190 xsr125

You're definitely talking crap. Unless you're saying 90km/h 😂😂😂😂 xsr125 wont do 90mph. This bike will do 70+mph. It's just geared very poorly from factory. Go up a tooth front sprocket and it'll do 70 easily. My wife uses one for work.

@@demonize999 how come mine stock can cruse half throttle on a duel carrage at 70

@@alexanderson5749 it's simple. It can't. 😂 You're talking shit.
