Very nice bike, I have the 2020 version on a 70 plate, now has digital dashboard, piggyback shocks and fuel injection, great bike for such little money, and with interest free finance a service pack and 5 year warranty I really can’t fault it!!!
I brought this bike last Aug 16 plate, it was the black colour, I love the bike, its got that off road look about it, the amount of people that have commented on this bike saying it a nice looking bike, looks the part. The down side is it does rust, i have tried to keep it as clean as possible over these winter months, but rust is noticeable, but with some TLC this should be sorted, the speed is good, i can leave the traffic standing at the lights with no problem, but also i have had the time when an adrenaline has left me standing lol, the gears are a little clonky, the thing is if you want a bike that turns heads, reliable and gets you from a 2 b all week long on a tenner, (i also find the tyres sound, with no props, even in the snow,) then this is your bike oh and not forgetting the 24 months warranty. I highly recommend this bike. Just look after it and it will look after you, btw look at this after market exhust that you can have fitted th-cam.com/video/WjhcghFZr-Y/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the comment. I'm 90% set on getting one of these in a few weeks, the only issue I have is the rust though, since I'll be on it year round. Think it's worth investing in some spray on stuff that would stop it or nah? My local dealer has a 5 year warranty too, so I'm not too worried about any technical issues.
Hi. Regarding the Kilometre marked speedo. I cut little triangle shapes out of different coloured insulating tapes and stick them around my kilometer marked speedo at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 MPH equivalents. This makes them easy to see. .
My mate has one of these, he loves it and has done some light green lanes on it.....it seems sturdy but it's not really built for any off road like the looks. He loves the MPG and I agree it's bonkers good! We fitted heated grips but this was a challenge as the grip inners are not built to be reused! Nice enough functional as a bike should be.
Oooo.....our lasses mate has offered us her's as she's moving onto a car and your video pops up first on TH-cam when doing research.....Nice. Must be a good day for old Spicey videos 😂
I wish they'd stop putting shit tyres on bikes mainly bought by learners. Loads of the Japanese manufacturers do the same, Honda are really bad for it.
hi spicy im just wondering will these reviews be a out every so often because if so do u think you could do a review on an ajs r7 125 or are you just doing reviews for lexmoto because you know them p.s love the vids keep up the good work :P
Yes if you are finding you are having grip issues new rubber will always help. As for exhaust, it will make it louder, if you want it louder go for it.
Ever been on a Keeway? I've had the RKV for a little while now, seems a good bike so far, review one if you can. I always see people put down Chinese bikes (bet the comments here is full of it) but my Keeway seems really well made and is great to ride, my nephew has the Lexmoto Venom SE that also seems great. They are well equipped too with digi dashes and kill switch, flashes and more, many other 125's don't have those. Are these people just jumping on a 'hate Chinese bikes' bandwagon?
Bought one of these after my Venom SE was stolen when I needed transport. Decent bike to be fair. Solid, does the job and I find it more fun than the Venom to be honest. Venom was a nicer bike to ride though.
Might be an option for newbies, although you can get a very clean 2nd hand option from one of the big manufacturers. I dunno, I skipped the 125cc thing and went straight into big bikes after my test.
I like this review i would love to see a review of the new Sinnis Terrain which is there 125cc adventure bike i definitely prefer them over a lot of other styles of bike but as u have experience with adventure bikes as well i would like to see how it sizes up. As you have had Sinnis and Lexmoto i would like to see your thoughts on the new euro 4 Sinnis motorcycles like the new Apache and the Terrain.
+Tyger if the venom is next it would be at least 4-5 weeks before the review by that time I think you will Know what you think of it. Not sure what the next one is as yes but the venom will be done in the future
i bought one of these and have so really shitty roads i go on not a single issue on that side. It is under powered and 8 kw which means you can easily tune it up a little with a few cheap mods and it comfortably sit at 60 with without over having the engine sitting revving its tits off and that's all legally as if you keep it within the 11kw range. Only couple issue with it and that down to the price... the chain adjuster are pretty trash don't get me wrong they work but fior a couple pennies more could have made them alot better. ive put 2.5 k on it in a couple months not a single issue it is a well built bike. As Long as you keep on you maintenance and let the engine run in when you first get it for the first 1 k miles at least you're not going to have an issue . so all in all its a solid bike if you treat it well and for the money you cant really fault it, Abd if youre willing to spend a few buck to mod it will take you fever.
This bike stopped by me at the red light this morning but I couldn't have proper look so I waited for the rider to move first. It's looks very new and shiny.I was behind at an appropriate distance watching but when we got at the roundabout the rider used hand signals instead of the indicator and used position 3 on the lane.This immidetially tells me that the signal lights has blowned off or they aren't working He was in position 3 because I thought he didn't trust the tires or the bike is not agile
Thinking of doing my cbt as driving tests are next to impossible to get now so just to get on the road I'm probably going to do my cbt and get a bike just in the mean time. Is this bike good for the price? I've seen you've mentioned it being updated over the years but given how expensive the used market is for cars and bikes it's looking like I'm gonna have to finance one from new
well, im back on this vid as ive found a guy who's willing to swap my moped for one of these. dad is giving me a hard time but hopefully i can sway him.
good bike but i am looking for new exhaust system because stock one sim to rust a lot and chain but rest of bike is fine just to be save tho i do use acf 50 after every wash
anyone got suggestions for mods for the adrenaline 125? loud poppy exhaust, carb, jetting. tyres, grips, handlebars?? im open to any other suggestions also
haven't had any issues as of yet, but i'll get some of that for sure. im not looking for any performance upgrade or anything other than new front sprocket, thing is, I got took off my last bike due to not being seen, so I'd like to be heard at least
Better tyres are where I would start. Its getting to the time of year where you need all the help in slippery conditions. Quality tyres will always be worth the money
I have a beautiful MT-125. wanna race? tried offroading on it, i went up a hill a little too big and kinda slipped sideways, had a nice sledging trip down though XD
so like ill be getting my cbt in like a month or so, im looking at getting this bike, but idk if it would be like a good fit or not, im like 6ft2 and like 17stone, how would it fair
Dumb question.... but I've done a CBT, I'm confused by what bike to get. Any 125 is learner legal? For some reason I read that this bike cannot be ridden by learners on a CBT? I hope I'm wrong I'm stuck on what to get... I do t want a moped I'd rather a geared bike. Any help would be appreciated 👍🏻
+K1NG S0LJA it's perfectly learner legal. There are very few 125cc bike that are not legal on a cbt, and they are 2 strokes that have been derestricted
spicy110 appreciate the reply! :) that's put my mind at ease, after browsing last night I'm thinking CBF 125 would be a good starting bike. As much as I'm a fan of the supermoto bikes.
Think of this as a mountain bike with a petrol engine and you’ll be fine 😅👍 Specialized make their basic E-bikes cost £2500 and only do 15mph. For a commuter, this is perfect 👍
You forgot ugly but like the review spice keep em coming. Can you surgest a newish bike to test ride for a fresh CAT A test passer i have come from riding a yamaha 2011 dt 125r and a CBRR 125 to passing test 3 days ago after 2 years on them.Have a max buget of 4 grand maybe 5 with the part ex of the dt 125 as the mrs is using my old cbr
I’ve got this bike what a beauty drive and the engine everything it spot on these Chinese bike romers are bull this bike is 10/10 if u look afta it just like any car or bike
+Jordan Hardwick he's in his castle plotting most likey. I hate to think the reaction he would get now. People hate me doing anything but being serious it seems.....Haha
+Jordan Hardwick alwaye been that way but I need to rely on my old subs to stand up for the fact it's what I have always been like, on the last one I had people saying I was copying other vloggers and I was trying too hard and all sorts of ill-informed shit. Sadly on that one very few stood up for me! So if I did do another it's only going to get worse. That's the problem I have often.
2 things i would never touch again, chinese bikes and 125's. nothing but hassle, problems and extreme depreciation that you wouldn't get with Japanese ones. extreme depreciation.
That Guy Agreed. I skipped the whole 125cc thing for all those reasons. I wouldn't touch a bigger cc Chinese made bike with a barge pole either. Cheers.
You can get good 125cc bikes from places like Honda/Yamaha but chinese bikes... Sorry would rather have a push bike.. knowing how bad the chinese bikes can be the wheels would more than likely fall off. ( Sorry China ;) ) 125cc from companies like Honda I love, had my first bike (Yes am sad) it was a PCX125 and from this thursday I will have a cbr125 I love 125s they might only go 60-65 (PCX did) but they are fun and great for the newbies
Chinese bikes are OK if you look after them. I have a 64 plate lexmoto came from an older guy who bought it new. Kept in his conservatory for a year barely used me and my brother have went over the whole bike got rid of cheap tyres for mitchelens and done a general tighten as it was a bit rattly. Does me OK lol if you are rough with a Chinese 125 or treat it like a peice of shit yes it will be ruined in months but if you look after it will be just fine.
spicy you might or might nor believe me but i have this and have had it for just over a month and i had to add some points onto your vid. the gearing is an issue on this bike, it screams way to much at even 55mph, if you go to take of at traffic lights really fast it will sometimes stall?? and i do agree its not very fast at all, my mate has a lexmoto dart 125 ped and it will beat this all the way to its top speed and then it starts catching up but by then your screaming its guts out. on positive note they is not one time when this bike has failed to start on me . the knobblies are just utterely stupid, they dont give you enough grip and just dont fit in with the bike. the back brake is absolutely shit aswell, understand you couldnt be totally honest for the dake of lexmoto but it sucks. another thing the gear box is shit aswell, sometimes it just doesnt want to enter second from first, and false neutrals and overall clunky as fuck. l like that i can cruise to work and collage on it and trust it to get me there and back but this bike is nothing more than a work horse
+Panashe Muchekwa nothing I say is influenced by the fact I get the bikes from Lexmoto. That's rule 1 when I work with people. It's a 125cc it will scream a little at 55 it's only 10mph off it's top end. The gearbox is unsifisticated but I didn't have any big issues with it, no stalling. have you changed your oil since run in? how many miles have you done? more miles and clean oil may help. Indeed as I said it's built basic but strong, utilitarian a bit Russian you might say. For £1300 on the road with warranty, compare to the other options in that price range (not many to pick from) it's a good little bike, for as I say in the video a bike for A to B 😀
spicy110 the thing with these bikes is they are cheap. You can't expect much. I have had a lexmoto gladiator for 4 years and it's still running. It's never going to win medals for high quality parts or top speed but for getting me to work and back every day it's perfect. Also, the lack of sex appeal has its benefits in terms of no one wants to steal it. I personally worked on mountain bikes for a job for years. You can easily tell cheap bikes from expensive ones but you will also notice any bike will do the job it was designed for. I know people who bought a £100 bike from halfords and it lasts for years being used to ride a mile or so per day and then my old £1000 bike needed new parts all the time because I used it to ride 25 miles per day. The short of it is, you get what you pay for.
spicy110 i bought it second hand but i am now its second owner and it had a service before i had it but it could do with an oil change soon, maybe i was a bit nit picky but its just all the little things iv noticed from owning it for the time iv had and it and yes you are 100 percent right gets me from a to b so cant fault it and for the odd ride out with my mates on their 125's its not too shabby either. i am really debating on buying a descent pair of slicks for it to aid the handling, when i first got it, i would slightly head shake sometimes when changing gear. its one of them bikes you gotta get used to i geuss. good work horse and it is cheap. cheap and cheerful!
Well had the bike two years with 10.000 km on the clock ,had no problems at all was expecting something to go wrong but been good oil change every 500km that's it ,bit underpowered for the motorways just got to be patient with the bike 8000rpm is the limit don't think the engine would take any more on a long journey
How do you deal with potholes - do you shout at them, shout profanities at the council, spray paint dicks around them, ignore them or report them ?!!! Genuinely want to know as I had a driver overtake me because I slowed right down for this massive pothole and being on a bike makes it ten times worse . He proceeded to go slow in front of me being a typical driving twat .
Chinese bikes are good for 3 maybe 5 years if you look after it. But you will never see one over 15 years old on the road with 100k miles. But it's cheap enough to ignore these facts.
Metal sucks You don't see any that old because they only really became available a decade ago and have only picked up in popularity in the last couple of years. Only time will tell.

+Bick Mitchum tbh if you think about this bike in a Chinese rural setting, poor roads ect it makes alot more sence. Tho in this country with tarmac the tyres are surprising.
spicy110 this is true I didn't think about that how ever I still do the quite the looks it's a bit Marmite to me each to their own, but then looks like it's does what it says on the tin bike !
spicy110 agreed ! I had an early Chinese enduro called a POR apache parts were like rocking horse shit to get hold of, and unlike the newer ones lexmoto , sinnis etc mine was constantly falling apart I had it from new and after 50 miles the exhaust came of on a dual caring way so they defiently come on a long way !!!
+Bick Mitchum yer even from the early days of pulse and my first Adrenaline things have changed a lot. I'm glad to say I have directly had a hand in that even if they didn't like me in the early days for wanting improve the bikes
A simple, cheap motorbike. Cool
+Jake TheGardenSnake summed up well 😀

They're only doing 2 year warranties now I believe. You lucked out 👍🏽
Thank you for reviewing this bike mate! It makes a huge different being able to get detailed information when considering a particular bike :) Legend

Hi.
Regarding the Kilometre marked speedo.
I cut little triangle shapes out of different coloured insulating tapes and stick them around my kilometer marked speedo at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 MPH equivalents.
This makes them easy to see.
.
That's a pretty nifty bike for 1k, holy shit. It'd be cool if they sold that in the US, but the market isn't there.
My mate has one of these, he loves it and has done some light green lanes on it.....it seems sturdy but it's not really built for any off road like the looks. He loves the MPG and I agree it's bonkers good!
We fitted heated grips but this was a challenge as the grip inners are not built to be reused!
Nice enough functional as a bike should be.
Oooo.....our lasses mate has offered us her's as she's moving onto a car and your video pops up first on TH-cam when doing research.....Nice. Must be a good day for old Spicey videos 😂
I love my assault. One thing about the tyres are if you get on to a funny Tarmac you can feel it.
Wdym?
@@singlecell2498 another words. Shit tarmac thats slippy
I wish they'd stop putting shit tyres on bikes mainly bought by learners. Loads of the Japanese manufacturers do the same, Honda are really bad for it.
Yhea it sucks. The tires on my bike are good enough on dry tarmac, but in the rain you can't even go round a roundabout faster than 15 km/h.
I got a Lexmoto Assault and just put a set of Pirelli Angel GT road tyres on it and the grip and ride/cornering have improved really well!
Leon how is your assault doing I had my sins June I'm getting a taping from the head off my assault
hi spicy im just wondering will these reviews be a out every so often because if so do u think you could do a review on an ajs r7 125 or are you just doing reviews for lexmoto because you know them p.s love the vids keep up the good work :P
wait so if you fill up the tank and lean it over,fuel leaks out???so has the tank got flaws????or is it leaky for a reason???
Many tanks was will leak like this, you just have to underfill it. Also it maybe have been changed by now as the model was updated years ago.
Another great video spicy
Can you do a review on the EFI version please mate if you can
Would you recommend this as a first ever bike? I'm looking to do my cbt this year and get on the roads
I have this bike in black and every time I turn a corner the bike slips out slightly would anyone recommend new tires? And a new exhaust?
Yes if you are finding you are having grip issues new rubber will always help. As for exhaust, it will make it louder, if you want it louder go for it.

You can't anymore. I cant find anything Japanese for 1k
Would like to see you review a Sinnis Blade
I’ve always been hoping you’d review the Lexmoto Falcon haha
Probably better off saving up a little longer and getting the adrenaline
This model replaces the adrenaline now.
James B can you have a passenger on it?
Had mine two years now, 7500 km on the clock going well, headlight bulb blowed that's about it,

Can you do a review of a honda plack?
had this bike for 1 month now, 2015 model.. love it, think ill but some road tyres on it tho

Does the 2016 model have a handlebar lock?
I’m 5’6” with 75cm (30”) inside the legs. Would I be able to sit on this bike when still? Will my feet be able to touch the ground flat?

better a cheap bike than no bike...ill take that any day
spicy you might or might nor believe me but i have this and have had it for just over a month and i had to add some points onto your vid. the gearing is an issue on this bike, it screams way to much at even 55mph, if you go to take of at traffic lights really fast it will sometimes stall?? and i do agree its not very fast at all, my mate has a lexmoto dart 125 ped and it will beat this all the way to its top speed and then it starts catching up but by then your screaming its guts out. on positive note they is not one time when this bike has failed to start on me . the knobblies are just utterely stupid, they dont give you enough grip and just dont fit in with the bike. the back brake is absolutely shit aswell, understand you couldnt be totally honest for the dake of lexmoto but it sucks. another thing the gear box is shit aswell, sometimes it just doesnt want to enter second from first, and false neutrals and overall clunky as fuck.
l like that i can cruise to work and collage on it and trust it to get me there and back but this bike is nothing more than a work horse
+Panashe Muchekwa nothing I say is influenced by the fact I get the bikes from Lexmoto. That's rule 1 when I work with people.
It's a 125cc it will scream a little at 55 it's only 10mph off it's top end.
The gearbox is unsifisticated but I didn't have any big issues with it, no stalling. have you changed your oil since run in? how many miles have you done? more miles and clean oil may help.
Indeed as I said it's built basic but strong, utilitarian a bit Russian you might say.
For £1300 on the road with warranty, compare to the other options in that price range (not many to pick from) it's a good little bike, for as I say in the video a bike for A to B 😀
spicy110 the thing with these bikes is they are cheap. You can't expect much. I have had a lexmoto gladiator for 4 years and it's still running. It's never going to win medals for high quality parts or top speed but for getting me to work and back every day it's perfect. Also, the lack of sex appeal has its benefits in terms of no one wants to steal it.
I personally worked on mountain bikes for a job for years. You can easily tell cheap bikes from expensive ones but you will also notice any bike will do the job it was designed for. I know people who bought a £100 bike from halfords and it lasts for years being used to ride a mile or so per day and then my old £1000 bike needed new parts all the time because I used it to ride 25 miles per day.
The short of it is, you get what you pay for.
That's a good point. Most people will look to steal other bikes over something like this, which is appealing indeed.
spicy110 i bought it second hand but i am now its second owner and it had a service before i had it but it could do with an oil change soon, maybe i was a bit nit picky but its just all the little things iv noticed from owning it for the time iv had and it and yes you are 100 percent right gets me from a to b so cant fault it and for the odd ride out with my mates on their 125's its not too shabby either. i am really debating on buying a descent pair of slicks for it to aid the handling, when i first got it, i would slightly head shake sometimes when changing gear. its one of them bikes you gotta get used to i geuss. good work horse and it is cheap. cheap and cheerful!
looks like the adrenaline has been discontinued now with this filling the gap
yes, that was years ago! also this is not the same as the current one, they updated it.
Well had the bike two years with 10.000 km on the clock ,had no problems at all was expecting something to go wrong but been good oil change every 500km that's it ,bit underpowered for the motorways just got to be patient with the bike 8000rpm is the limit don't think the engine would take any more on a long journey
How do you deal with potholes - do you shout at them, shout profanities at the council, spray paint dicks around them, ignore them or report them ?!!! Genuinely want to know as I had a driver overtake me because I slowed right down for this massive pothole and being on a bike makes it ten times worse . He proceeded to go slow in front of me being a typical driving twat .
Same price as a half decent ebike can't complain really
Chinese bikes are good for 3 maybe 5 years if you look after it. But you will never see one over 15 years old on the road with 100k miles. But it's cheap enough to ignore these facts.
Metal sucks You don't see any that old because they only really became available a decade ago and have only picked up in popularity in the last couple of years. Only time will tell.

can you test ride a 50cc ? 😂 bit of banter
it as if they couldn't make there mind up on the design , remind s me of a angry seagull
+Bick Mitchum tbh if you think about this bike in a Chinese rural setting, poor roads ect it makes alot more sence. Tho in this country with tarmac the tyres are surprising.
spicy110 this is true I didn't think about that how ever I still do the quite the looks it's a bit Marmite to me each to their own, but then looks like it's does what it says on the tin bike !
+Bick Mitchum exactly it's nothing fancy but you could do alot worse at 17
spicy110 agreed ! I had an early Chinese enduro called a POR apache parts were like rocking horse shit to get hold of, and unlike the newer ones lexmoto , sinnis etc mine was constantly falling apart I had it from new and after 50 miles the exhaust came of on a dual caring way so they defiently come on a long way !!!
+Bick Mitchum yer even from the early days of pulse and my first Adrenaline things have changed a lot. I'm glad to say I have directly had a hand in that even if they didn't like me in the early days for wanting improve the bikes
Id like to get one for my bird
Andy Bryant personally idd go for the 06 honda cbr 125, perfect bike to begin on and manages 90mph
.
lexmoto not a bike its a vibrator from ann summers
+Larry crazysheep Davies haha not at all! You need to ride some ktm singles
I've got this bike and it's been nothing but problems with it things a piece of crap
