    • @omv6076
      @omv6076 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Darren Pumford sorry just seen your message.. I sold my LXR 125 since passing my full license. I now own Honda CBR650F.. My 1st bike was LXR, and it was a great bike in 125 category. It feels and looks like you are riding a big bike. I bought brand new and had it for 1 year and sold it, no issues at all. I would definitely recommend it for the price you are paying. You get a lot out of it. If you are thinking of getting a used bike, then look for low mileage and service history, and you can get good deals in 2nd hand bikes. For 1st bike, it's great and no regrets at all. Yamaha and Honda, and Kawasaki do have a 125cc range, but you are paying more price, and you may want to move up soon, and you lose a lot in depreciation.. if you want to keep the bike for long, then go for Yam, Hon or Kawa... Anyway, all the best, and I hope you find a good bike. Stay safe and ride safe! Pal

    I’ll say one thing. I really like the design. I’m sure it’s actually way slower than it’s Japanese counterparts. But it looks just as good. The warranty is a huge plus.

    • @BikeMatters
      @BikeMatters  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It all depends on budgets etc. The Japanese variants will be a lot more money (near £2k extra) but will have a few upgrades, including engines around 14.6 hp. The LXR isn't slow but there is just over a 2hp difference generally between these and Japanese.

      And this Chinese bike weighs loads, has a silly 150 rear tyre (more rotational mass) and has 5 gears. It's made to look like the cbr 650. For young lads that wanna look like they're on a big bike. Buy a 2 stroke and smoke the lot of them 🤣👌

  • @rjc0234
    @rjc0234 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Biggest thing I have to say about Chinese bikes is: Even though the manufacturers like Lexmoto are putting in a lot of effort and quality control, it is still up to the user to make sure they maintain it properly. You still have to put a bit more effort in to a Chinese bike than, well an "big name brand" bike (also made in China). These LXR's are a big pain becuse they feel and look so good, the owners tend to forget that they have to be a bit more thorough with maintaining it, making sure the chain is clean, oiled, well tightened. other things like making sure the brakes are adjusted properly etc. If you can put that bit more effort in, then the newer Chinese bikes will do well.

    • @BikeMatters
      @BikeMatters  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      That's a fair enough comment, but I suppose any maintenance on any motorcycle boils down to the responsibility of the owner, doesn't it? I appreciate the point you are making, but things like a clean chain and properly adjusted brakes are things that should be check regularly by any biker on any bike for their own safety and the safety of other road users? Thanks for your comment though, and I agree Chinese bikes will do well in the UK motorcycle market!

      Very true - I'd love it to have 14hp, but it's only really noticeable at the top end. Still has plenty of torque and pull off the line! Not bad for the price, and whilst a bit more bhp would be better - you also save £2k versus a Japanese sports bike! ~ Alex

      I just leaned this is a Chinese bike, sold in Europe with different names depending on the country.
      Taro GP1 125cc = China
      Lexmoto LXR SE 125cc = UK
      TR Motor GP1 125cc = DE, NL, BE
      Wottan GP1 125cc = IT, SP

      Aluminium swingarm, upside-down forks and aluminium yokes along with the red colourway. These things aren't vital and you still get the same liquid-cooled motor. Just down to personal preference and budgets.

      I'd recommend looking at owners groups to get real-world figures.
      probably around 80-95 miles per gallon. The tank is 13.5 litres, so I'd say probably 235+ miles for an entire tank.

      Hi Karl, thanks for the kind words mate! Well, obviously we can't really praise the LXR SE enough, in the time we had it we absolutely loved it (all the team did, even those who couldn't ride it) so obviously we would recommend you look into one of these. Unfortunately we haven't ever tested the Hyosung GTR 125 we can't speak too much as to what we think of it! It may be worth going for a test ride on both, if possible, to see what you think of them!
