    Which 125cc maxi scooters would you put in your top 3? Let us know! 👌

      Just for a normal cbt by chance did you need a theory test before the test ?

      i have a Longjia XDV125, wich is basically a lexmoto XDV125, different branding, same scoot no idea why xD
      i have it since mid february, only 1000km on it, but a really nice feel and very stable, the only weakpoint is the 11.2hp engine, wich with my 130kg + the 130kg of the scoot itself, is having a hard time on sloped terrain xD
      got it for 3995 euros i really recommand it for begginers that want a bit of style!

      Yamaha no.3, kymco Dtx no.2 and xtown no.1 I own both kymco it's really worth the money . My xtown is already 5years old and for me the best touring maxiscooter and my DTX is 2yrs old. Both of them no issues at all. Kymco is the most underrated brand but always remember they use to tool for Honda and is partners with BMW.😊

    The Forza 125 should be in top 3, along with XMax 125, and SYM ADX125, which you failed to unclude. Its versatility, and rear suspension, makes it perhaps the best 125.

      @@luiscosta3520 The max speed is the single criteria for choosing the best scooter, only for idiots. Almost all 125s are around 100 - 110 km/h max speed. Nothing interesting about that. The important things are comfort, ergonomics, storage, features, safety, etc. Sym ADX has a swing arm motorcycle like rear suspension, which makes it safer and more comfortable. Apart from it, it seems that only Italjet Dragster has a similar rear suspension, in the 125 category. But this dude never heard about it and put the junk called Neco and the two mediocre Lexmotos, in top 10.
      Regarding the XMax and NMax, it is obvious they share only the engine. The XMax is built on different frame, the same with the bigger 300. In every aspect the XMax is superior to the NMax, as the Sym ADX is superior to the Joymax, except the under seat storage.

      ​@@1zanglang top speed for me is a must to not be passed by constantly by heavy trucks, or just to run away from some dangerous situation... Everyone in Portugal have a C. McRae mode when driving.
      About the Cruisim unfortunately In Portugal there is no test drive vehicle on this particular version (125cc)… so I was forced to buy a Forza 125. Is great, lots of space and is consuming 2.2L per 100km is great, better than the PCX. Top speed I reached was 118 kph almost on the red and just to fly away from some heavy traffic for a short period. It is a little tall for me but is ok for now. The xmax 125 was too expensive and the performance was not so good.

    vfm ,sporty ,agile ,light ,swift and low cost of services is the zontes m125.The riding is excellent with plethora of information from steering and overall sense as a rider.
    Taro defender 125 is a genuine vfm adv ,powerful and ground clearance with very good tires,.consumption is an issue .with small wheels for mild off road use only.Honda is the luxury one it costs twice or 1/3 over the price of most scooters but it handles excellent.The costs of services are most economical (and the fuel consumption) due to the esp+ engine that surpassed all engines at the category.
    nice job,see you again

    Only thing i would say if you are not bothered with resale then by all means buy a Chinese scoot but as I've just found out with my SYM Jet x the resale value is non existent. New she cost me £3300 that's on the road with a top box fitted not even 2 months in i changed tires from cst ditch finders to Michelin city grip 2s at a cost of just over £200. fast forward 6 months of ownership and just over 2500 miles i decided i want something else a Honda Forza 125cc 2022 plate the dealer pretty much said if mine wasn't as new as it is and still in warranty he wouldn't entertain buying it at all due to being Chinese. He looked online for ones for sale noting new price was £3000 and some second hand 2022 models was selling for around £2000 well i say selling most have stayed up for sale for a while i know as i kept an eye on some of the ones he mentioned before he did his search. He told me for him to buy it it was risky as new being only £3000 he couldn't put it up for to much as most would just buy new so he offered me £1650 exactly half what i paid new. Now i could have sold private but the hassle sometimes isn't worth it and id only probably get an extra £350 anyway as tires don't really add value to the bike plus the lock and top box i bought specifically for this scoot didn't add value either. So I've taken them off and returned it to stock to sell at a later date. I've seen some Forza's with 30k miles on for sale for about £2500 and they are older than what i just bought so it does show jap is best when it comes to reliability and resale. oh and I'm on the SYM UK Facebook group where many complaints have been noted about part availability and lots of problems with water getting into electrics and making the bike unusable which in a country where the sun is a rare site that's not good for someone who daily commutes by scoot

    Lexmoto should not be on there because the dealerships lie about being qualified to work on them and then when they break the bikes and do not take responsibility or honour your consumer rights, I had two of these bikes and this happened twice to me, Lexmoto do not even offer the technician training anymore so the guys working with these bikes are cow boys and you will spend the same you would on a more well established brand on solicitors fees. All of the dealerships are the same just ask them for qualifications and they will lie to you like they did with me! They are ruining their own brand which is criminal which is a shame as I found the bikes were actually really good and probably looked the best of the bunch.
