I bought my first bike back in 2021, a brand new out of the box Lexmoto Michigan. Bloody lovely bike, shes my baby. We've gone over 5000 miles together since, and I still love her. Ive now passed Mod 1 and Mod 2 to get my full cat A licence and bought a Honda NT650V-2 Dauville, but will still look to take my baby out for a run at the weekends.

The days of really bad China built bikes are gone. The early ones fell apart, rusted away and broke down. Everything about the quality was poor. Since then. China has really upped their game. My own China bike (A 2016 AJS Cadwell) is rock solid. It may not be the fastest or the quickest 125 on the road, but it's well made. Sadly. The bad reputation persists.

What a lovely couple of fellows. So engaging to listen to. Thanks for the info about the ZSB which looks to be a lot more than its price suggests.

As long as you look after it, clean it when it needs it and keep up with maintenance it should last as long as any other bike these days. At least with Lexmoto you have a nationwide dealer network and parts if needed are relatively cheap and easy to get. The skills in riding and maintenance you learn on this bike will stand you well going forward when you eventually start to move up to bigger bikes.

I bought a showroom-new Sinnis Hoodlum in April, I'm 48 and it's my very first motorbike - I'm frickin' loving it.

I bought a brand new Lexmoto lxs last year.. I’ve had nothing but issues with it. The shims needed replacing, chain and sprocket has been replaced, horn stopped working (not that I ever needed it) the rear indicators have stopped working, had to have the display replaced as it stopped working, new clutch cable and also blew 2 gaskets in the exhaust, all under 2000 miles. It looks amazing, but I’m never going Chinese bikes again, I’ve now moved to Japanese bikes (Kawasaki ninja 125)

You never see the “Running in Please Pass” sight any more.

can't wait for more videos on this, im booking my cbt too so looking for a decent little 125 to get used to it on before I go for full bike test!

My son has just purchased a keeway superlight 125 he loves it its a well built bike for the money bit on the heavy side tbh but still a nice bike just wondering if anyone else has owned one and if there ok bikes like .

ACF50 will be your friend. Bolts, exhaust, mounts, the lot. Keep it clean too. Dry it off if you've been out in the rain. Should last as long as anything else on the road.

Hi, Bought a 2016 lexmoto VENOM 125SK , Live in Berkshire and litteraly NO mechanic wants to work on it, No mechanic will take a Chinese Motorbike 😢

The only things I didn`t like about my ZSB were the obligatory EU bits, so over the last three years, I have removed the link pipe from the rear brake to the front, which has given me much better brakes with more feel and, since I feel that stuffing a catalytic converter into the exhaust pipe on a little 125 is a personal insult I have de-catted it, it does not go much faster, but the engine does have a crisper feel to it. Neither of these mods affected its first MOT.

Top stuff lads , Kenny looks like a top piss taker , hope you’ve a few adventures planned , I’d change the tyres straight off it’ll pay dividends especially in the wet , enjoy you journey and have a blast 🏍🏍👍👍

What cannot be underestimated is how good lexmoto is for spare parts. There's a finite level of quality at this price point, but most failures are cheap fixes. In the UK and parts of north Germany, conditions are particularly bad for vehicle biodegradability. If they can survive here then they will be good in other markets

Nice to see a bike that still has a kick start. It’s a looooong time since I’ve had a bike with one.

Nothing wrong with a cheaper bike Drew, looks good for your first bike👍 and the weather is finally getting better 🌞 get out and enjoy it😁👍thanks john🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I looked at lexmoto among lots of other 125's and although i decided on an almost new cb125f (that i got at a great price), did a lot of reading up first and came to the conclusion that the performance and reliability between different 125 manufacturers these days wasn't that much, and certainly as a beginner didn't justify paying a whopping £5k for some of them. You will learn a lot, probably have some shall we say unscheduled dismounts, put some scratches/dents here and there, and quite possibly want to pass your test and move up in a year or so anyway, but the good thing is the market for used 125's is really buoyant, so whatever happens you won't lose any real money when you come to sell it whatever. Even though i'm a lot older than you having had a full car licence for 42 years as well as being a keen cyclist i soon realised how much i didn't know, and the importance of safety, so i try treat every ride as if i'm being watched while on a test lol, and spent what turned out to be much more than i expected on a good helmet, jacket, trousers and boots, which are worth their weight in gold - don't skimp on protective gear - sounds boring i know, but just the riding is it's own thrill, so stay safe, take care and enjoy it !!. GL

Looked after they sre a great little bike. Don't believe all the rubbish that people say about them . Enjoy it mate . You will have fun riding it .

I got this as my first bike and its a great little machine to learn on.

My first motorcycle was a lexmoto arrow. Cheap to run insure and work on. The issue with them is not the bike but the owners. In general it's a 17yr olds first bike and they likely don't know much about motorcycles like I was, so they don't get looked after well or regular maintenance. However some Chinese bikes are 💩 But lexmoto is good, always parts available and cheap to repair when things go wrong.

Getting it fixed,most garages don't want to touch them,,and getting parts is a pain,from experience

Looks like a CG125 engine, I have the 150cc version in my Condor ‘Grom clone’…great engine actually, handles hot ( like 43C🥵here ) weather no problem.

u made as much sense as a platapus duck

Well on the plus side these will definitely get cheaper because otherwise they'll just sit in warehouses as stock. There was a point where they were about 2 grand, now considering for about 800 quid more you can have a brand new honda, theres no way they're getting many sales. Id view these as a kind of kit bike where you get it and carefully rebuild it to a decent standard, reroute all the cables so water doesn't run down them, seal all the electrics properly etc, acf it all. But many folks aren't able to do this. Personally im done with buying cheap Chinese items because its a false economy, theyre cheap for a reason, cheap bolts, soft metal, cast brittle levers etc. If people want to kid themselves that theyre brilliant then thats up to them because theyre not and you get what you pay for with all machines not just motorcycles.

I love my lexmoto aura 125 and have done nearly 10,000 miles Ayer nearly 22 months has been great

"Running in" a new engine is not a matter of road speed. That is irrelevant to the motor. The best way to bed things down is to just run the engine light and smooth. Listen to the sounds, the motor will tell you if it's happy or struggling.

I went to collect some carpet for my daughter at Merthyr and there's new massive shop there call Trago. I was surprised to see lots of these Chinese motor bikes there . Brand new £1899 + £99 on the road for the bike you have there . As I'm short arse 5'5 theres not a lot of choice for me . I passed my test in 1977 on an illegal Ossa 250 trails bike . It was illegal because it wasn't road registered and i used the plates off my brother's 250 super dream. Well i was 17. Didn't have the internet in them days to check. Anyroadup i passed and the next week i fell off and hurt myself and dad took the ossa off me . I passed my car test a few months later and never bothered with a road bike again. But now I'm 63 and retired my mrs is pisssing me off so i thought i would get back on the road. They had the Herald motor bikes there at £2499+ £99 but my feet don't touch the ground. My daughter's the same height as me yet she rides a CB 125 honda. What the fucks wrong with me?

2015 venom never let me down, 22k miles. definitely avoid kymco

Lexmoto Is made by Senke.Sokd in South Africa As a Big Boy Superlight 125. & 200cc

"will happily sit at 70mph" ... Why do people lie about their 125s all the time?

I have this bike and I’m putting the indicators and light controls back together and I’m clueless if someone can help I’d really appreciate it

On auto trader there's a couple brand new for 1699 OTR (that's each not for the pair)

Ride carefully guys

Any plans on a “few months later” review?

Nothing wrong with these or any other Chinese bikes, it's the owners. Most people who buy a cheap run around or bike usually don't follow proper maintenance, penny pinching and then blame th bike. It's th same with cars or anything. Nothing wrong with them.

I buy and rebuild chinese motorcycles. Mainly lexmoto and I can vouch for the quality. Old yamaha ybr are built by jianshe in a chinese factory so all these people saying they won't go chinese

There is no possible way that it’s revving all the way to 9k. I’ve seen these Chinese bikes lie about the rpm it’s actually moving at.

The chains are rubbish on Chinese bikes, youre forever adjusting them. Upgrade to a DID. Only £20. Deff worth it. Happy riding. 😂😂

I ride the same bike in 200cc. nothing wrong with them

Hello, I wonder if you can help me please. I have a Wangye Eivissa 2 125cc scooter year 2022. I'm looking for a OBD2 scanner for Chinese motorcycles. I have contacted Wangye in China who manufacture the bike. Unfortunately they won't advise me on a suitable OBD2 scanner for Chinese motorcycles. Would it be possible for you to check it out and advise me. Cheers

Nothing wrong with a cheapy

Just got one of these and love it, any idea how i change the display from kmh to mph on the display please?

But speedometers usually exaggerate by about 10%

No need for explaining, one look at you says it all. Have a nice day, get a real job.

Tez chcę taki kupić 🙂

I have this bike to many face problem no anyone deal with chinese bike ready to repair very difficult

What's the update on the CBT?

miles???? In Europe we are using metric ...

reminds me of a gn125

Slim Shady from Wish💀

Lexmoto is a Chinese brand not a english brand the sinnis on the other hand is a british brand that is built in China and all them bikes look nice but there not my cup of tea I will always stick to Japanese brand bikes but each to there own
