Pike Bobstar Thanks Pike! You’ve pretty much summed is up! We aim to take every bike for what it is and put ourselves in the shoes of the 99% of people who would buy that bike. And we loved the Sinnis Hoodlum!

Nice bike solid good buy I would like to have one

Excellent! Yes we loved it too! Way way better than expected (and we were expecting it to be good!).

How's it holding up?

I've just bought mine this morning. Being delivered tonight. First bike at 36. Excited much 😂

Sorry to put a spanner in the works! Yes the Hoodlum is great! 👍🏼

Get it it’s really nice! 👍🏼

Awesome! And Thanks! One of the best 125’s out there 👍🏼

Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks my friend. We’re glad it is helpful 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks buddy 👍🏼

Did you get it? What is it like to ride as a taller rider? I’m 6ft 1 and absolutely love the thought of having one, but I’m put off by the slightly smaller frame. Does it feel like your knees are tucked to your ears?

@@yestynmullan1553 Hello I ended getting the Keeway superlight. The bike has plenty of power to full me large arse (21 stones 6 feet) up any incline. And it looks wonderful. Although I wish it was a Harley though.

13GoldenSun Excellent! It’s a great bike actually and we’re pleased to hear that you’re becoming a biker 👊🏼

Well said! Thanks for the support! Make sure to subscribe to see the bikes we're reviewing this week!

George Harkins Thanks George! Yes the Hoodlum is a superb 125!

Thanks buddy. It’s a great bike and not fast enough to get yourself into situations

Ausirias Thanks buddy! Welcome aboard! The Sinnis Hoodlum is awesome!

Glad I could help!

Tony Thanks bro! We really enjoyed riding this bike, and its so inexpensive!

Excellent! Thanks buddy

Is it still running well?

@@imamshamil5185 I’ve had mine for a while nd put 5k km on it and it hasn’t broke down on me yet As long as you keep it good conditions it’s reliable

@@willy3169 did you buy the bike new?

@@imamshamil5185 no had 500miles on it already

awesome! Let us know how you get on with it !

@Matthew Connolly How is it in hindsight?

@@pododododoehoh3550 great bike, still loving it. Have almost rode 1000 miles on it already and had first service no issues at all. Would definitely recommend if getting a 125 and want cruiser style

Great! Let us know how you get on! Really nice bike, and it handles so well

Love it handles a treat 😁 not to bad sound for 125 stock exhaust too.

Thanks 😊 Nice of you to say 👊🏼

Ultra TV Awesome! We hope you love it!

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Maybe you could answer me a quick question mate, I weigh 21 stone and I'm wanting a 125cc, I also live in a very hilly town in England. Would this bike pull such weight up a steep hill? Or maybe you know a bike that could? thanks mate.

Ultra TV All 125’s are pretty gutless because of having to meet bhp restrictions. You will probably end up in first gear at low speed. For future reference, go for a Harley Davidson or BmW R 18 which have masses of torque snd are more roomy

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks for the quick reply mate, I'll have a look around.

Thanks very much!

Thanks buddy! Check out tonight’s review!

Scott Lindsay That’s great! You’ll love the Hoodlum!

Ahh that’s awesome Dale! We think you’ll be very pleased with your decision. Glad the video helped 👊🏼

Great to hear enjoy your new bike 👍🏼

Ahh that sucks! I had a motocross bike stolen some years ago. Not insured, it took years to save up for another one

Great! Nice bike 💯

Did you get it? If so, how is it?

simon gilbert Thanks Simon. Actually a really nice bike, we enjoyed it

Oh wow great! Let us know how he gets on with it 👍🏼👍🏼

How did he get on with it?

That’s great to hear Thomas! Thats a good progression too 👊🏼

MrDarcy & the Ol'Man oh and I fitted the Toro exhaust yesterday in Matte black, sounds so nice.

Thomas Clark yes it certainly does! Also you’ll probably find it’s a bit quicker

Thanks buddy. Yes it’s a sweet little bike! Great fun

Haha 👍🏼 It’s a great bike 👍🏼

@@MrDarcy-OlMan I saw it earlier to have a look in person. It really looks great too. Btw, Im at your Sycamore dealership tomorrow. Want to spend a few hours going through the bikes Im interested in. Hope they have them all in stock.

@@drsparwaga Pop upstairs to say hi to Darcy 👍🏼

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Will do.

Thanks buddy! Sounds awesome 👊🏼

Yes it’s surprisingly good

Thanks Thomas 👊🏼

Thanks very much! That’s a great plan!

Biceps&Bikinis Really OK well that’s good because it’s a great bike and we’re glad you now know about it 👊🏼

lamilumag Thats great! We’ve got some incredible bikes lined up very soon! Please subscribe if you haven’t already 👊🏼

MrDarcy & the Ol'Man I of course already have!

lamilumag Awesome thank you 👊🏼

Yes good points bro 💯

OK cool. Isn't it a lovely bike!

Sounds like a perfect plan!

On the devil's path , Until you die?

@@roymorrishx This life is short. That's a fact.

Jo Jo Yes it’s really deep and Hoodlum is an apt name!

Lol 😂

Thanks buddy. Maybe one day

Thanks buddy. The Hoodlum is a nice bike. Hondas are THE most reliable. 125 cruisers are virtually non existent . 👍🏼👍🏼

We haven’t reviewed the keeway so can’t comment but I reckon they’re similar in quality. Go for the one you like the look of best

You could have it lower down on the rear mudguard 👍🏼thanks buddy

Thank you! 👍💯

Paul Cowell Yes 💯 % 👍

Michi Schalusenbach Yes what a bike! Back to the Heavy Metal! Funny though, somebody else complained about Heavy Metal on another video!

hey you can buy the bike also in germany. it is selled as explorer inverro 125 at atu (Same bike, its the Zongshen RA1 Euro 4 which is selled with few different names)

Michael Pinjusic Thanks.

Yes 💯👍🏼

Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼

How’s the bike long term?

To be honest the Sinnis is better. It's more alive and it is fun to ride. The hyosung is very nice too, but it has to rev its nuts off to get anywhere! The weight makes a BIG difference!

Thanks buddy, great to see a new person getting into riding. We actually realised it’s not restricted that’s just how much power it produces. You could do your cbt and ride one around for a few months before moving onto your full license if that’s what you’re looking at doing. Once you’ve done your full license there’s many many options out there

What did you end up going with?

Had to put a hold on it due to health issues. Decided to go straight to full license when I'm able.

Ahh ok thanks. We don’t use music anymore 👍🏼

Awesome

Thanks Blondie 👊🏼

Darreign Clark I think so: it came that way so guessing. Sounds awesome

Good idea. It’s an easy job

Hi, we’re not sure. This was a press bike. We review all kinds of motorcycles so we get given them for a week or two.

No it won’t start with the stand down at all, it’s designed to do this. It’s not a fault, it’s to remind the rider that the stand is still down so they don’t ride off with it down

Yes for sure 👍🏼👍🏼

We would go go for this one because it rides really nicely, is lighter and at an unbeatable price

They may do one for the Hyosung

Knowing there is a possibility I'm going to check out a store today. All I somehow want is the Hyosung to have that extra power or even derestrict them, As I just love the look. But there isn't much Hyosung Stores in Manchester to really have a feel for it. Thank you for these videos. They have been really insightful.

All 125's sold in the EU have to have their power restricted to under 14bhp. Usually this can be 'undone' by a few modifications (not legal for insurance/age unless you are over 19 and have passed A2 licence, then it's ok as long as you tell insurers).

No, you can't de restrict an air cooled, 4 stroke 125. Why do you think all the air cooled 125s make considerably less than the legally allowed 15hp. Mr Darcy or the old man are deeply misinformed on this one.

GingerDeadMan I know that some factories in China produce a base bike from which companies like Sinnis or Lexmoto put on their stamp. It does look mighty similar though. I’ll ask my contacts next time I see them and see what they say.

Yes definitely 👍🏼👍🏼

No problem buddy! Hoodlum! 💯👍🏼

That's just it; old Japanese bikes are at least this much! It's a great bike for the money!

They are similar but also different in a few ways. The hoodlum has a more stretched out riding position due to the mini apes and forward controls. The outlaw is a more upright position with mid controls. Personally I prefer the outlaws riding position but that’s down to preference. Other than that they are extremely similar.

Yes certainly.

Thanks yes! We can’t get any Keeways at the moment

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks anyway!

It’s a Triumph Bobber 👍🏼

As far as I know, it's specially made by Toro for this bike.

The Sinnis is the better option in our opinion, and they want to have happy customers; not just make money

You should take a look at the mutt mongrel

Might as well get something a little more powerful. We like the offerings from Royal Enfield 👍🏼

I reckon, but possibly the forward controls may be a bit of a reach. Definitely sit on one if you can

That’s the same on many bikes tbh. I wouldn’t worry about that

For sure.. Just watched your review of the hyosung 125..good stuff 👍🏻 Watched a KZfaq vid of a guy who took one from France to the Ukraine during lockdown to see his gf.... I'm 47 and as part of my midlife crisis I got my CBT last year 😂, want to get the full 125 licence ASAP and then seriously thinking of going from London to Vienna (back roads, 1000km) to see an old flame.. Just for the hell of it 🤟🏻... Which of the two bikes, or any other, would you recommend for such a journey? Might take panniers and a backpack, travelling light.. Can't see myself camping these days, more of the dodgy motel stuff..😂 Appreciate your advice and vids 👍🏻

@@chrisbrown4396 it’s a long way for any 125 tbh, but either one. Perhaps Hoodlum more comfortable and it felt more powerful

Yes Paul it really is very good!

I would imagine so but you could confirm via link on their website to be sure

With the pipe this bike had, it’s more pokey than other 125’s we’ve ridden. You should be ok. The guy who used to service our 50cc used to ride that round the block to test it and he was about your weight. It won’t power up the hills but should get you there 👍🏼

LeftyOtool Thanks! It’s a big jump but yes in theory, although the difference in torque especially, is like rowing boat to Titanic!

MrDarcy & the Ol'Man thanks! Ultimately I want one of the fatties but I’m not very patient. It probably makes sense to get something like a 48 special after the Hoodlum and then one of the bigger Harleys. We shall see!

Thanks Ryan! The Hoodlum would be our preference because it’s aesthetically more pleasing, it has a narrower front wheel which makes the handling much more responsive, and it’s riding position with the tall wide bars is way better

MrDarcy & the Ol'Man Thanks guys. Earned a sub here 🤟🏻 All the best.

Just one thing... is it true that Lexmoto Michigan is the same bike or ... ? Appreciate your help. Apologies for all the questions 😂

Ryan Smith It looks like it shares some common parts, but not entirely the same.

Ryan Smith Thanks Ryan! Much appreciated 👊🏼

Dave Bostock Although we didn’t do it, I’d say yes, very easy.

Thanks Jessica. We love cruiser style girls! Actually I prefer boards; they are comfortable and also allow a bit of extra room for foot placement. You could very easily swap them out for pegs I’m sure. I don’t know which ones but there’s bound to be some that fit. Have you subscribed? We need more female subs 👍🏼

@@MrDarcy-OlMan hey guys thanks for the reply! And i sure am! I subscribed after watching the first video I saw of you guys, which was the UK licensing process, that video was very helpful! And now i know exactly what i have to do to get my license!

@@jessicasoffe2530 Awesome! Thank you!

@@MrDarcy-OlMan no problem guys! Looking forward to future videos! 👍

Hi. Speaking about boards/plates/pegs(if decide to replace) are they so low so can't really lean and keep you as straigh as possible? Do you touch the road on roundabout /corners etc? I love the look and rider position. Leaning is my only concern. Cheers

James Curley Thanks James! 👊🏼 Decisions decisions!

Brilliant! We’re glad it’s going well

I'm an older gent and considering this as a first bike... how long have you had it?

@@NefariousOaf I've had it a couple of months now, I just didn't feel ready to direct access my way to a bigger bike, I have a lot to learn and the hoodlum is doing a good job helping me so far.

It’s within the legal power limit so in that sense it’s restricted because a 125 could make more.

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks

Yes I remember the MZ and agree! The Sinnis is pretty good really

All about the same quality 👍🏼

George Harkins We’ve contacted UM but they don’t have the grace to get back to us.

Fire different pump on it

No it came with it on. The company is connected with Sinnis

Does it have dealership locations on their website?

There aren’t any ‘big’ 125’s but this is bigger than most, and it’s really good too 👍🏼

@@MrDarcy-OlMan cheers for the reply 👍 capable of hauling my ass along at a comfortable 60mph?

Honda Varadero is a big 125
