  • Howdy, you T'internet lot,
    I hope we are all well!
    I borrowed a couple of 'Sinnis Terrain 125s' for a couple of weeks from the lovely people at Sinnis and figured it would only be right to document my thoughts on the small but mighty 125s!
    This is a first impressions review. Honestly, I tried to have an open mind since it is a 125 but you know what... if I was in the market for a 125, I'd absolutely own one!
    Below is a link to Sinnis' website:
    www.sinnismoto...
    Here are a few highlighted points about the Sinnis T125:
    🔑 125cc (cbt, learner friendly)
    🔑 12.7 bhp
    🔑 10.5Nm of torque
    🔑 14 litre tank capacity
    🔑 Panniers, top box and crash bars as standard!
    🔑 Accessible seat height of 780mm
    🔑 150KG weight
    🔑 Retails at around £3,200!
    Warranty:

    I hope you enjoy!

    I bought one of these for my wife as her first bike to learn on and pass her test. What a super thing it was. She racked up over 2000 miles on it, passed her mod 1 and 2 before we sold it on for almost what we paid for it. Now she's on a Tiger 800. Girl power all the way!!

    I bought one of these second hand when I had my CBT. Got it for about £1000 off list price with 230 miles on the odometer. Did all sorts on it for six months and put over 2000 miles extra on it. I upgraded the tyres to Metzeler Roadtecs, rode it in horrific conditions and toured with it including all the steep passes in the Lakes. Last day was a 360 mile dash spent at max RPM the whole way. GS riders often pulled alongside to wonder what it was.
    Sinnis dealerships I found to be not particularly good, quite open with not servicing the bike as per the spec but did change a part under warranty. Everyone said a cheap Chinese bike will be useless and won’t last but I enjoyed it. Not sure all the people I held up on my tours appreciated how little power it had but I still,had a smile on my face. Did my big bike test and bought a Ducati 748 for double what I sold the Sinnis for! Can’t imagine anyone putting a Sinnis in their lounge!

    Not bad, Kate. Part of the realistic fun of a 125 is that you have to work at it and when you get tailgaited by an Audi, you can lean out of the way and let the beggar past! All you have to do at petrol stations is put a few quids worth in. Winner.

    I have a Honda Blackbird and that has linked brakes. The rear is a 2 pot, the front a 3 pot (well, 3 each disc, that is). Apply the front and only 2 of the pots on each caliper come on on the front and one of the pots on the rear come on. Apply the rear, and one pot on the rear come on and the middle pots on the front caliper come on! To de-link them, it's over £100 just for the lines. Honda have a reason for it, but it just makes no sense practically, the idea was applying the front helped to settle the bike with the rear coming on, and vice versa. However, I rear braked on grass once when I had to ride over the grass and it was wet and slippery. Touched the back brake, the front came on and BAM, I was down with a locked front. My mates are always on about trail braking and applying the rear in corners to settle the bike and I constantly have to remind them that I can't do that coz otherwise I'd just be braking and loading the front. It's something you learn to live with and work around but it's not the best system and one day I'll get around to de-linking them and have the full 3 pots (well, 6 overall) stopping me and a usable rear brake. It was an experiment that didn't really work before ABS was perfected, but it can have you off if you aren't careful and aware of the bike dynamics if you try and use the rear for control.

    • @PwnstarUK
      @PwnstarUK 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Since then all Hondas including their 125's have independent brakes which is great but cheaper 125s have this dual linked system which I've had and you literally couldnt brake at times if you were heavily leaned or your front wheel was losing grip. Where on a independent braking system you can hard brake the back and leave the front without lowsiding.. there is whole generation of bikers now who dont know about when and how to use a back brake only or a front brake or both and all the other nuances like one then the other quickly etc. that skilled riders have got. I think linked should be stopped!

    • @Arryhall
      @Arryhall 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@PwnstarUK "linked should be stopped." Nice! I never understood the linked brake thing. Gravel or sand or rain or something and you can't use the back brake to settle the bike. I was taught to use the rear brake on tight slow speed manoeuvres but with linked brakes you can't. Just a stupid idea all around which is a blight on the otherwise perfect blackbird.

  • @jasonwood6100
    @jasonwood6100 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hi Kate,
    My Partners Yamaha YS125 has linked Brakes and it applies the Front Brake when you apply the Rear, however applying the Front Brake does not operate the Rear.
    I guess it’s in case Learners apply too much Rear Brake.
    Great Channel and wish you all the best for the future.

      They are in fact the rs50 I’ve got was kitted out when I got it but still had a 50 head but it’s topped out at 75 and cruises at 70 so it’s faster then a lot of 125s and it accelerates a fair bit faster too as it’s bands hit in at 7.5k rpm then it just takes off hoping to get a rs125 next year tho

    The Himalayan has similar performance as the 125!!
    And you're right, you do need to ride completely differently.
    It's a completely different mind set riding the Himalayan compared to the BMW, but even though its got way less power, its great fun to ride.
    I'm guessing, riding the 125 is the same for you?

    Honda do that combined brake thing on the rear brake. My daughter's cb125f has it. Its not good. Its worse than abs and abs isn't the way forward as it takes the feeling of your own control away. My thoughts only as I raced Motocross bikes in the past is let us decide what is best...

    When we talk about 125cc's we dont mention power or speed, we ALL know they are slow, i picked mine up a few days ago having sold my DL650, and i have to say im have a blast on it, even riding carefully due to running in period i feel this has more than enough power for the market its aimed at, and im getting over 100mpg and with the current fuel prices id say that was a massive winwin,
    So far the ONLY down side is how often the servicing is on these, the gen 5 is every 1800miles which is better than 1200miles with the gen 4, but still, thats alot of servicing for such a small engine,
    BTW ive being riding since '87 and owned alot of bike bikes, this little bike is alot of fun.

      You’ll probably have to do a cbt anyway depending on your age, so do that and get some experience on a 125 before your DAS course, which you’ll probably have to wait a good while for anyway atm. Waited six months for mine in January but found it pretty easy as a result.

    its probably geared really low that's why have to rev its nuts off .. id go up a couple of teeth at front then it should be far less and slightly increase top speed as a bonus .... as for linked brakes ...don't sound good on a off road bike ..who needs front brake lol ..helpfully a way of un-joining them

      You should let all the manufacturers who fit linked brakes to their bike they are unsafe, I'm sure they will remove them immediately, as for learning breaking techniques, I doubt many riders will have this issue anf having had bikes with linked braking systems from the 70s I personally didnt have an issue, I have heard the same said of ABS, adjustable suspension, brakes, etc

    • @PwnstarUK
      @PwnstarUK 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@nightster6378 You probably only had it on the front. and it depends how they are linked. Modern cheap 125s put on the front brake when you apply the back brake which is 100% unsafe. Some back brake when you front brake which cant really hurt but front when you are back braking causes many low sides. If you are turning you cannot back brake basically. Its only the cheap brands that do that, Honda and Yamaha Kawasaki etc.. all have independent abs on even their 125s for good reason as they agree with me.

      @@PwnstarUK The Moto Guzzi's I rode and still do ride them today where the rear brake is linked with one disc on the front and the other disc operated by the rear and never had an issue, on my Ducati's and other bikes I rarely use the rear brake.
      On the modern 125's there is a proportional valve where the disc does not get full pressure until the bar lever is pulled.
      There is Japanese bikes with linked brakes and as in the Honda CB125F, Suzuki RV125, Yamaha YBR125, Kawasaki Z125 Pro. Kawasaki Z240 SLS, and many other larger Japanese motorcycles not forgetting HD, BMW, without checking others Im sure these manufactures will appreciate advice they are building motorcycles that are and 100% unsafe therefore potential death traps. It is also been law since Euro 4 to fit either or both to motorcycles. Lots of liability here both on the government and manufacturers.

    A big negative for you - you can't get replacement tyres, Sinnis UK don't stock/supply them and they don't appear on the tyre manufacturer's website. I need a new rear but it looks like I will have to replace both together with Michelin Pilot Streets.
