Here's a quick tip for ya. When mounting ANY big bike, either tall or weighty (works even with the 2.3 triumph) First turn the forks towards the side stand, this alters the seat height by upto 50mm honest. Mount the bike by standing either on the side stand flick or the foot peg and swing your leg over and immediately turn the forks (whilst on its stand) straight ahead with your right leg outstretched. This stops the bike overbalancing to the side stand side. Then put your left foot on the ground your right foot on the right foot peg and then swing the forks/bars to the right. Gently push on the right foot peg and straighten your left leg and the bike effortlessly stands upright. Once upright straighten forks to maintain balance. This works really well when heavily laden and with a pillion and takes the load off of your shoulders or any dicky hips joints etc... Its a matter of lever principles 🤔😊👍

Ive tested the T380 and the GS310. For Quality and price, the T38 is the winner

Great video and good banter, this will age well, and also good job on your bike reviews, other channels just tell people about Ducati, BMW, etc and nothing smaller that one could use

May have gone for this but bought a Himalayan with panniers £4700 and must admit its superb, I ride every day and tour but this maybe a future contender

I have the 125cc of this bike and love it

Another great video and one I've been waiting for.nuce to see Malcolm back.well done to you both.

I have rolled off my center stand while seated with EVERY bike I have ever owned and never in all my 42 years of riding had an issue with it wearing out or have it collapse or had any other of the horror stories that you may have heard of happening. Keep it well maintained and you never will! Good maintainance , as with all things bike, is key!

Yes, Finally a proper review thank you guys 🤣

Good to see the old gang back 🙂

Great video as always.. Looks a tidy bit of kit . But sorry to say this review came 6 weeks too late for me, I've just bought a second hand Vstrom 650 paying much more than the cost of the Sinnis. I would have definitely have considered the 380. It makes the Strom look soooo outdated ☹️☹️

Looks mint for that price.

A bit heavy for a small capacity machine but still good value, each year Chinese machines are improving.

These two are a real comedy duo...that's one of the best reviews I've seen them do...even more comedy for your next one if you please...more hand gestures from behind....

Are you Sinnis dealers? 🤔 Good to see Malc’ back too...

Awesome vid lads, love the banter you both have haha, good to see you trying out the chinese bikes, got myself a sinnis apache 125 and I feel like sinnis make excellent bikes. Not had any issues at all with mine, I want sinnis to make a apache 380 now haha

Looks really good that bike! I think in Portugal it's called the Vortex RX3S, at least the same engine and headlight but the vortex comes with spoked wheels and not a droopy exhaust.

A Triumph Tiger 800 at 10 years old for the same money would be 100 times a better buy, 200 kg for a 380??? No thanks.

Well 4599 same 37hp and less 30kg ill take the zontes t310 any day as i don't need boxes or extra weight thanks great review helped me choose the zontes.

excellent video, really, but you didn't mention durability which is the main concern for most when considering a chinese bike

Great vid guys!

pre ordered my sinnis 380, been biking for over 40 years, first real bike a silver kawazaki z250 scorpion, my last bike is a silver 380. im 5 foot 8 and it is a funny swing to mount it, plus the dash and front of the bike is constantly straight ahead as i turn, i cant see my front wheel , i dont fancy this on off road on narrow tracks

Like the look of this bike, maybe on the look out for an adventure style bike next year some time. This bike unfortunately not available in my market. It is in so many markets round the world under different names, that price is an absolute bargain too! Especially when you compare it to the Cyclone RX3S price. Also great to see Malcom back! The dynamic duo!

What are the service intervals like on this ? I hope they are better than the Sinnis 125s

Looking very suave with the beard 🧔

'Cracking seeing Malc again' and what a corker of a show, you guys really are the leaders in comedy, they say you know a bit about bikes as well!!! ps, won't be buying the Sinnis, no hand guards!!!

Very nice bike , all the Best

Just the handguards to mount on this machine and i'd take off your hands for ya !! Any idea how much they would cost?

Suppose a Comparison between the RE Himalayan, the T380 and BMW 310GS is in store. Having owned a Chinese bike (Kymco K-Pipe 125) I'd recommend a liter or so of Locktite as my first purchase after bringing the bike home, as China apparently has no clue about keeping their bikes from vibrating apart.

Looks very good but your thing about changing a sprocket to alter the gearing is flawed. The gearing is set within the gearbox a different sprocket will just raise ( or lower) depending on the sprocket, all of the gears. So 3rd, 4th and 5th will still be the same relative to each other just higher or lower. Or am I missing something?

Awesame moto!

I really like the t380 but really love the Honda cb500x... nice review though ...

I’m a new rider, ridden an auto scooter for a year, really want to do the A2 and like the look of these, will a bike like this perform better in more adverse weather conditions (wet/icy)? as need it to commute

With a 17” front wheel, is it really going to see any off road action? With a good tank range I could see this as a good bike for the NC500 but so is my CBF1000. Sadly it’s one of those bikes that seems to fall between two worlds and yet.....I like it! I like what they are trying to do and I cannot understand why Suzuki didn’t do this with the Vstrom 250. Imagine that bike with a V twin 400cc engine and a nice wedge of torque low down. Now you’re talking.

Malcolm!

Super video made more enjoyable with having Malcom in it. Great bike and super luggage to boot. But alas Seat height is a no no for shorter riders.

Sadly can't afford it but it's proper looking grownup bike.

My next bike

This or zontes t310?

Looks a great bike.swap out the crap tyres for some decent rubber and you will gave a great bike. Be nice to get a service manual to do you own tappets as 4k service intervals is a bit short. Another couple of years and these Chinese guys will be seeing off honda and suzuki. I've had a cb500x and that look everybit as nice and has more standard equipment for 2k less

Why do people worry about the off road capabilities of ADV bikes? After all they are just as likely to be taken off road as the average BMW X5 or Range Rover Sport.

Is it a Lexmoto lxr 380 with stockings and suspenders on?

Do people actually take these off road? sorry I've always ridden sports bikes good video as usual 💯👍

Interesting, enable video, oh I decided to considerably downsize after three Harley-Davidsons over the last 10+ years. I did think about a 250 Bullit V Bob. But in the end I traded in for the Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport HPE, to arrive in a week or so. The Harley's were great but time marches on.

Light aluminium boxes are bad! The slightest knock or bump puts dints and scratches on em, had some on a works BMW some years ago, pain in the ass! Although I'd admit that at the price they would be a bargain

Have they priced it just a little high considering that the Zontes 310 looks just as good but is £500 cheaper. The real fly in the ointment is the Cfmoto 650mt which is available for 5k and to me would be the better option

Is the Sini Ster deliberate?

Thanks for the video - I'd be interested to know which of this or the new Zontes T310 you preferred to ride (on the road)?

A lovely bike, my only concern are the headlights, when you switch on high beam the dipped head light goes off decreasing the amount of light on the road , Why do some manufacturers do this.

I am out from the other side leg toward the gas tank. So how tall are you guys?. Because I stand at 6 foot four, and push 280 pounds.

Interested in this bike. But I'm in the U.S.A.. do you know if we will be getting this on the west side of the pond.

Timsun tyres look a bit suspect!

Can the ABS be toggled off?

No exhaust bash guard fitted ,would anybody take this offroad ?

What's the service intervals ? And are those panniers fixed or easily removed?

Does this come with a spoke wheel version? Those cast wheels will be more harsh off road than a spoke wheel.

Hi, please check the zongshen cyclone 380cc same motorcycle!!!!

50kg too heavy; the asymmetric pannier fitting would annoy me; otherwise it looks a great bike.

Which camera are you guys using for 3d selfie videos?

I think you guys said £4750 without boxes and £4899 with boxes so that’ll be £150 for the boxes either way sounds like a real bargain.

Nice review. However, there is no information on possible reliability if actually used for travelling other then your review. If used in other countries, availability of spares or repairs or folks to repair the engine as say using a honda for which there are many dealers. What of space for adaptation such sump plate or lighting. It would be interesting to see the lights at night. How about using the bike actually off-road and its handling for the job other than posing and reviews. If you don't use it for off-road then surely you would get a road bike. How does it handle fully loaded on and off-road? Are tyres tubed or tubles and how do those tyers supplied measure up in grip? I enjoyed the review but off-roaders need to know more of the bikes handling although it is nice to know you don't get monkey butt over a distance although find

The looks looks like the BMW GS.

Thanks 👍 enjoyed .

Pity Sinnis discontinued this bike from they're range..

What’re the service intervals for the T380?

Sinister ain't 380?

3 questions.. 1, does it have a light clutch (think Versys 300X light). 2. Can you remove the panniers/topbox easily? 3. What are the service intervals?

Way too under powered for that particular market. With the cheap, flimsy looking panniers filled to the brim youd struggle getting much out of it.

Where can I get one ?

From what chinese manufacturer sinnis came from?

First off this bike fully kitted is £1000 cheaper than a Honda CB500x but it won't have the reliability of the Honda or serviceability, then my first MOT bike failed on excessive rust and corrosion on chassis,it's a rust bucket for £4500,if I'd have bought a Honda this wouldn't have been an issue, conclusion spending extra £1000 buys you a lot better built bike that will last 10x longer, Now don't get me wrong I loved this bike when new and I still think it looks great when new but a bike that's worth scrap after 2years is not a well built bike,plus them panniers unscrew them self's when they rackle off road

Chinese bikes are impriving without a doubt but I've seen new KTM Aventure for under £5k which is far, far better...

Cheaply built from substandard materials. Those nylon tires are a deathtrap

Who make sinnis bikes, are they Chinese?

I think the RE Himalayan is better value...

Cheap cheerful but no off roader.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST EXPECT TOO MUCH

Those boxes are made from virtually nothing, the first bump or knock and you'll have a big indentation, what I'd called tikki tacky metal.

The trouble with this bike is it won’t have any resale value

I can't see how people can knock these Chinese bikes, just look at the Terrian 125 and the globe trotting their owners have covered.

Nylon tires YARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!

I don't get it , you guys have all these cool bikes and across the pond were stuck with the same old same old and stinky Harleys , I think I need to move !
