- This my second video about this motorcycle, honest review you can always ask more questions under comments or write me, if you want to know more about this given model.
I don't allow using this video in other forums or sites without my permission!
My first video is here : • Benelli bn 125 after 1...
I have the same in white, and it's my first one. It's a good bike to learn with and it costs almost nothing for a cool design. Another thing you should have mentioned is that it burns almost no fuel. With 2/3 of the tank I almost rode 400km. Pretty nice for the wallet... 😁
I am not sure. but I think I mentioned it in first 1000km video, but yeah it is cost friendly, fuel range is huge.
I just bought a Flo green 2020 BN 125 ! Seems good so far , enjoying the bike , hopefully it's stays going good !
Hello, yeah the new BN 125 green seems quite cool. so far I have 3750 km and still going strong. Just lately had my 2nd service.
will do another movie after I hit 4000, about the cost and overall situation concerning the bike.
@@MsEagleboy great thanks I'm nearly at my 800 km service, so far so good
Hey I am looking to buy one soon I am 6 foot 1 we it be okay
Hi. Great to see a review of a Chinese bike after a while as some seem to break.
How do you lock it, if you don't mind me asking?
Hello,
So far I would not complain about its durability, yes its not an Japanese or good west motorcycle, but it is doing its job for now.
About locking in crowded places I use steering lock ( it has 1 built in ) and additional chain lock, but at home I have garage.
@@MsEagleboy thanks. I had a Lexmoto but it kept breaking, something new every month.
@@ag9496 Yeah unfortunate mate, but I dont want to jinx mine, so far it has served me entire year, still have warranty for 1 more year, will make another movie about it after 5000km. stay tuned
That`s cool bro!
Thank you.
Good points thanks for review over all I would not recommend this bike unless you are planning commutes in range 1ha
Bad seat and no wind protection that means this bike it's nothing economical either
Well I managed around 400km with it on a full tank no problem, so I would say it is economical, the bike is only good for commuting as I mentioned on the video, it is after all naked bike, it simply just cant have touring seat positioning, means more agressive seating position, exhaust more, same goes for the wind protection, again it is not a touring bike.
Hi, I have a same motorbike as you, but almost everytime when I must ride in hill I am losing "power" and speed. From 75 km to 50km, where I must downshift from 5. to 4.
Did you ever have same problem?
Hello there friend, sorry about the delay in aswer, but about your question, all depends of the hill you climb. If it is really steep hill or with very huge angle, then yes I will lose as well power, it`s 125cc and only 8.2 kW, so it is normal, I do the same when I go near to steep hill with 4th gear ( it is like cars 6th gear, what is ment for stable flow for lowest possible RPM, but reduces max power, the peek power ( 8.2 kW you get around 9500 RPM, meaning it aint gonna happen with hill and 5th ) So yeah it is normal, hopefully I could help.
Obviously it will lose power in top gear on hills, though there are techniques to be done. On your approach of the hill put it in 4th gear and give it full throttle, granting you are on a straight line. You don't need to wait for the engine to lose momentum before you downshift, believe me it will make a difference. Being only 125cc you don't have enough power to sustain the speed but like any vehicle it's expected that on going uphill speed may go down, its gravity.
Nice video, I was wondering if you would suggest me this bike to start riding motorcycles in general, I'm going to make my drivers license soon. Or do you know other 125ccm motorcycles who are better to start with?
I'm soon 16 years old and about 178cm tall
Hello dear friend,
Firstly I wish you luck in your future driver license exams! And secondly about the bike, if you are not under budget, then there are better motorcycles compared to benelli bn 125.
But it is very good motorcycle for the money you pay, I am my self 173cm and 82kg without gear and feel myself comfy, but with longer trips than 2 hours I start feeling a bit cramped, but guess it is more general to naked bikes then exactly this model.
Why I ended up buying it was a bit with budget and the looks, it just has something that the other bikes in similar price range have not.
I have to this day now 3300km ridden and every time I look at her, it brings me joy!
About other motorcycles, the good reliable ones are Honda CB 125 F ( 2800 euros ) , Yamaha YS 125 ( 3000 euros ) and if money is no issue, top ones with your category max 11kW
( Yamaha MT 125 ABS around 5000, Honda CB 125 R around 4.800 and KTM Duke125 4300.
@@MsEagleboy thank you for your fast reply ^^
I will consider getting this benelli because I think that a motorcycle that costs a lot money would be frustrating to crash with. I don't expect myself to ride without little crashes to be honest. I think the looks are pretty nice and I will definitely check the other bikes out :)!
@@yannixk.3294 Well one always needs to be open minded, even old veterans tend to drop or have small crashes with bikes, none are actually defended against that!
Yeah check other bikes as well, never know what might suit you best!
Hey I am 6 foot 1 and thinking to buy one do u recommend
As motorcycle I would recommend you, but knowing the seating position you would be quite cramped, so before buying 1, I would recommend you to test ride it.
what is the Vmax?
Sorry don't quite understand what you mean by it Vmax ( do you mean top speed? then I managed to get 112km/h ) some have mentioned they have reached 120km/h
It's reliable?
Hello my friend, so far it has not left me beside the road, I only had to replace once the throttle cable, it kinda started to rip and that's it. I have now on the clock 7000+km, right now is off season, winter here so I have to wait till april to start riding again.
@@MsEagleboy Just about to buy this bike, where did you find the oil leak? Thank you
@@GLIDERR the oil leak was between the blockheads, upper and lower connection place. But was so small that it was not marginal.
@@MsEagleboy ok awesome thank you! I am buying the bike used, but it is only 5 months old and has just 800 miles. Do you have any recommendations on what to look for when I view the bike? To check it is good condition?
@@GLIDERR check the throttle cable and clutch cable just squees feel if they run smoothly, try to look for rust spots around the main frame, same for oil leaks or any sort of leaks. Check the break fluid reservoir ( front / back ) try to sit on it and do little pushes with your bottom up and down, feel how the back fork is working, and hold first break down and push front forks up and down, check fork for not seeing any fluids coming out ) fork replacement is expensive. check chain state, hows the teeths and chain condition, should be rust free. And mainly do a test ride, if there is something wrong, listen to your inner voice, it never will let you down. If you feel that something is off, then dont hesitate, if he starts dropping price suddenly, then there is your turn around and walk away.
