- The cheapest 125cc motorcycle. First bike or down sizing? The Lexmoto Michigan is a very cheap option, especially on the used market. @in2moto480 are selling this bike for just £1599 ! It claims to be able to return 173 MPG !!! It also claims a top speed of 63 MPH I will try to get there on the test ride. Take a look around it with me then join me for the test ride. @MotoGBofficial @lexmotomotorcycles #lexmoto #motorbike #motorcycle #newbike #bikelife #english #gillybikes #bike #motorcyclereview #england #bikereview #125cc #cheap #cheapmotorcycle #forsale #bargain #usedbikebargain #bikes #save #savemoney #savebig

Started off on the Lexmoto Arrow 125 version of this, since having bigger bikes...but, looking back, I did enjoy riding that bike a lot. And it never broke down or rusted away!
They are great little bikes. Loads of fun at slow speeds 😁
I completed 245 miles on a full tank with room for more before I gave in to fill up. That is just because I knew I was up at 3am to get back on the road and save time. The bike is due for it's service at 1800 miles. May just do it myself with some guidance of course. All in all had the bike 6 months and love it. The looks you get are priceless. Been to a meet or two with the L plates and nobody bats an eye. Love bikes.
They are great looking bikes and getting over 200 miles from a tank that size is brilliant. On my bigger bikes one will do 100 miles which is crap when you’re out for a long ride.
I had one of these as my first bike! If you don't need to do more than 50mph and you aren't worried about the trade in value they are fine. 170 mpg? Nah more like 90mpg.
I did think their spec sheet of 170+ mpg was a stretch.
I have a 2004 Pioneer Chinese, Lifan twin port cg clone had it foe 3 years always starts reliable old sled.Suits me as a geriatric rider 74 years old.
Great to hear. Ride safe 😎
Sinnis also imported a version of this called a Hooligan , they are cheap ,but appear to be a good value for the price & have been known to reach 70 mph on clock in favourable conditions ,with lighter riders . Not a bad budget runabout if you can get one in good nick at a reasonable price . Parts should also be cheap for home mechanics .
They are great value bikes. For the money I really like them.
I think we deserve a good summer this year 😂 You're right, these low powered bikes are great for commuting, and that Lexmoto is in better condition than my Bluroc of the same age. Just started my big bike lessons and the MT07 I'm learning on is just so much easier to ride, even slowly. So hopefully I'll be getting rid of my 125 and adiós to it, can't wait to be on a more powerful bike. On the point of Chinese bikes, I quite like the CFMoto range but would still rather get an older Kawasaki ER6 which is proven and more powerful. They just need more dealers so there's more confidence with aftersales servicing.
I agree with you about the MT07, I just passed my Mod 2 on Thursday riding an MT07, and am now looking forward to getting rid of the AJS Tempest and getting something a bit bigger and more comfortable to ride. Best of luck with your training - just remember...cancel your indicators, I failed on my first Mod 2 test for forgetting to cancel them...doh!
The mt07 is a great bike to learn on. Admittedly I don’t know much about the CFMoto’s other than their close links to KTM. There are just so many bikes to choose from now. I really like what Benelli are doing and their quality seems to be getting better and better. Still managing to keep the prices down as well. The ER6 is a good bike to start on. I started on a Suzuki GSXR600 as my first big bike. I absolutely loved it. The only bike I regret selling.
@@melvinpackham7490 congratulations Melvin on passing your MOD 2, what bikes are on your list to get? Yes the Tempest is similar to what I'm on, though the AJS, look classier. I was surprised by the MT07, it never crossed my mind before, the XSR700 is nice too, using the same engine etc... However I'm thinking not to spend too much on the first bigger bike, figure out what type of riding I'll be using it for first, then upgrade to what I really need. Anyway, I think it's the law you have to own two bikes anyway 😁😂
@@GillyBikes I have my next lesson 8am tomorrow morning, clocks forward day too 😮 Been out on my 125 most of today, I really can't wait to get something that eats up the miles in it's stride and not sound like an annoyed wasp everytime there's a hill 😂 It's good for the consumer with Chinese bikes improving but keeping prices lower. Either the quality will be on par with the rest and maintain the prices in which case other manufacturers may have to start lowering their prices to compete. Not sure that's quite how it's happened in the car market, Kia are just as expensive now probably 🙄 Hopefully got another 10 years of ICE motorbikes at least
@@melvinpackham7490 It might be worth you keeping the AJS Tempest, as a winter hack, I ride my AJS Scrambler through winter {and use it for "GreenLaning" all year round} ....whilst keeping my Yamaha 650 Dragstar for the summer months, and longer motorway trips.
Horses for courses as the saying goes..
These bikes are a great way to start biking. Really cheap.
That’s very true. Not everyone has £5000 to buy their first bike. This is a great way to start your biking journey.
A group of us all had Jinlun Pioneers/Texans as our first bikes, chinese bike quality was a lot poorer then, than it is today and whilst chrome rusted quickly and they didn’t survive well in even a light crash, but on the whole they were reliable and a good start in biking ( mine was on,y 6 months old and cots less than a grand). I’d never discount chinese bikes now days, in fact the hangover of earlier quality issues mean they are still cheaper than they could be and so offer good value for money especially nearly new!
Absolutely. Thats why I’m happy there are still lots saying they wouldn’t touch a Chinese bike. It keeps the prices down for the rest of us.
Can you review the new Zontes 125 cruiser ?
I will try my best, they look really good. 👍
looks like a yamaha ybr125 custom.
Yes. One thing with the Chinese bikes they know how to pinch a design ☺️
there is no way on earth that bike will do 173 miles per gallon..........80 mpg possibly 100 on a run but not a chance of 173mpg... and speed you can say is 55mph ..
I went off the official spec sheet, but yes i agree with you. Owners I’ve spoke to have said 80-90 mpg which is nowhere near the spec sheet but still decent.
what chinese bike manufacturers would you personally steer away from?
I don’t no enough about them all to give an answer to that. What I would say is the premium Chinese bikes Benelli, keeway and Voge are my favourites. I would have no problems buying one of those.
@@GillyBikesSinnis is supposed to be Ok with long warranty also Zontes seem decent.
Isn’t ZSB cheapest Lexmoto? I had Lexmoto scooter and engine seemed ok but some weak bits on body.
Re MPG the Honda CB125F is supposed to be around the amount you quote here
@@derbyshireruralrider9398Sinnis are not motorcycle manufacturers ,they select bikes built in Chinese factory’s & have them badged as Sinnis with a model name . Lexmoto do the same , & sometimes they have slightly different versions of the same models .
@@maskedavenger2578aren’t most of them importers rather than manufacturers?
My old scooter (Lexmoto Milano) was identical to AJS Modena because it came from same factory
Well I didn’t know that. 👍 every day is a school day. Thanks.
This is so cheap you could buy us one 😘
😂😂😂 it’s not that cheap
