I had one of these in the black/white colours. I'm 6ft 5 and found it comfortable, and could even ride it with my wife on pillion. Only issue I had was that I seemed to be invisible when riding it and many drivers would pull out of junctions or roundabouts in front of me. Filled it up with £2.50 of fuel on a Monday morning and that would see me through a 20 mile commute everyday for a week. Great little scooter and I would recommend.
@@ie-qv9eu I had no issues in the daytime but at night the speedo wasn't very bright so was a bit more difficult to read. A bulb swap to an LED type would probably help.
@@GillyBikes yeah I’ve tried searching myself and nothing. It sucks because I really like that model a lot, it looks like a great and fun scooter. I guess I’ll have to settle for something else unfortunately. Great review and showcase by the way. Scooters are awesome ✌🏻
@@GillyBikes in the usa it wont be called AJS.. ajs do not make these, the yjust import and flog them with their badge on the front. the same bike is called lexmo milano... maybe they have that in usa. both bikes are identicaland made in same factory in china....
I have just watch RevBomb doing two test runs on Modernas. I am sold on them though I prefer the Barletta. What would put me off purchase has nothing to do with the scoots it is simply I have no local dealer. And I think that is important. I have to two local MotoGB dealers.
the boy turns 16 in may he will be on a 50 cc just to get to college 2 miles around town anyway he said he would ride that from a young uns point of view he and i think it cool
What happened to the tech specs at the end ? Scooters in pastel colours, just look right, retro and cool, with those continental vibes. If only it were the streets of Rome on a hot sunny day and not Warrington (no offense 😂) in the grey wet gloom 😢 I bet your videos do increase footfall in the shop, it's a great partnership, win win 😎
I would like a partnership with a dealership in Rome. Now that would be nice 😂. I’m told they do get a few popping In because of my videos. So appears we are helping each other. 😁
I agree. Riding one for a long period of time will do that. I have to pretend I’m on a geared bike. Keep letting the throttle off and then straight back on. 😂. Closest to a gear change noise you can get on one of these.
It’s a newish bike so it’s not a classic, but its looks are based on older classic bikes. Unfortunately not everyone can afford the real classics, but they can afford these.

They are great little bikes. £2.50 a week for the commute is amazing. That would save me a fortune.
@KipDingo Is it easy to read speed meter ?

You do fine work highlighting the need of a 5'vs 6' rider and the seat. Great job!
Thank you 😁
Want to get one of these soon, great video man!
Thanks. Great choice.
Love your channel…you’ll be at 6k subs soon…well done 👍
Hopefully. 🤞 nearly there.
A great looking bike. I do like a retro looking scoot
That’s a really nice looking scooter. Decent price as well.
I love the looks too
Thank u for rewiew bro. What do u think about speed meter ? Is it easy to read it ?
Looks great
I love the looks. Great colours as well.
Are these sold in America? Particularly the one showed in the video, I love the Modena 125
I don’t think they do. I can’t find any AJS dealerships over there.

I’ve been on a few scoots this week. 1 of them is amazing. Should be on next Sunday.
I look forward to it. Anything that helps me to stay completely confused due to much choice is always welcome. 😆😉
@clangerbasher 😂😂 I’m happy to help. 😂

My lad turns 16 soon. He wants a scooter but he doesn’t like the retro ones. He prefers the modern looking ones. 🙄. I prefer this style.

I look at the Modena and think….. it’s a bit too long. Is it me, is it? Be honest, is it me?
It’s you 😂. In the showroom next to others scooters it looks small.
😂 THE Fuel worth more than the scooter
Fuel is very expensive 😂
The sound of automatics gives me brain damage.

No way.cheep tat.😢😮
