Its a Chinese scooter, it's going to handle one pillion fine, it's most likely designed to carry your whole family! :D
😄
I picked my Diablo 125 up yesterday and absolutely love it. I’m 49 years old and hold a full motorcycle license. I just haven’t owned a motorcycle in about 17 years. I got the Diablo just until my confidence is back up and it was a great decision.
Scooters are great from a practicality standpoint. Like they used to say about the vespa, "it's more of a two wheeled car than a motorcycle"
Definatly one of the best looking scooters
At the motorbike show today (Sunday), I was speaking to a guy at lexmoto, and I mentioned I’d seen spicy reviewing them (nothing bad said against spicy at all)
and then he said yeah we actually have the scooter here that he borrowed, and i don’t know why but I found it cool, and sitting on it I was like wow, I’m sitting on a bike Spicy110 tested and took off-road, tiny bit star struck but none the less, it was awesome.
I had a Titan previously and got involved in a hit and run unfortunately destroying my bike (all been resolved now) now I’ve ended up with a Diablo and it’s brilliant very reliable, surprisingly fast for a ped and sounds quite nice, very impressed with my Diablo, looked brilliant in the red too!
only just discovered your channel, must say I am impressed by the content on here!!!
Mine is just run in. You so can ride it like a demon on the twisty roads in Devon. Brilliant bike.
Anyway to get it a little quicker it struggles to do 55MPH
I am a huge scooter fan. SYM Crox 125. Just love the CVT gearbox and the fun factor a scooter has. Have had all types of geared bikes and will choose a scooter for my commute every day. Light and nimble, cheap on fuel and maintenance and easy to park anywhere. Couldn’t ask for more.
Nice bike also found this one for 1499 nice price and really nice bike nice vid
I had a honda vision 110cc and that was a great wee scooter comfy and quite quick too but still prefer geared bikes more control for cornering
Hi Spicy. I’m picking up a brand new 125 Diablo on Saturday. So looking forward to it mate
How you liking it? I get mine in two days
Good review I'm a scooter rider and love them I have the 2017 Honda forza 120mpg 8omph keyless ignition start stop best scooter I've ever had see if you can get ride on one you'll be surprised how good they are
I was really disappointed with you Spicy110. I was really hoping for the intro to be done with this bike just for the lols.
I personally think the bike looks great.
The low power would bother me now I'm on a big bike but for a first bike, you could easily get by for a few years.
I had a lexmoto for 5 years and it only had issues towards the end because I didn't maintain it. First serviced year 4 and then a few more times in year 5.
I sold it to someone in town and see it scooting about still all the time.
Great video, nice to see the sun shining on Hayling! 👍
Can I buy one of these on the Isle of Wight?
Also, you said this is £2,000 but actually, it's £1,599, right?
Im doing my CBT on the 8th of may!!!!
+NorthEast Asmr good luck dude!
NorthEast Asmr how did it go?
@@sweatinglikegaryglitterint6701 probably failed xD
nice review spicy. I think cost is a factor when starting out and these bikes/scooters do appeal to first time riders. riding is expensive enough, but you'll get a bike, DAS and gear with change over a top branded vehicle.
Neat little scooter. File this video under "Things You'll Never See in West Texas". LOL. :)
+Tim Kreitz Adventures haha
Try do a review on the new 2019 enigma
My first bike was a scooter, a two stroke peugeot 100cc bright yellow scooter. It was fun and everything but I found geared bikes more fun.
Good in depth review mr spicy thumbs up
Hello from New Zealand! Nice video dude
Cracking review Spicy! 👍🏻
I was thinking of buying one..I have a Lexmoto fm 50...I am not happy with Lexmoto haven't had my bike for a while ...and I am having problems with the bike. the mud guard snapped from the joint. .and number plate screw came off......Lexmoto is to plastic....
Nice one Mr Spicy, can't see why people insist on bitching about Chinese bikes, they are what they are, cheap little bikes. As you say, any bike can get problems from time to time, I had a Honda CX500 years ago which blew the ceramic water pump bearing every 6 months and was £200+ to fix every time. Apart from that it was reliable, but the same can be said for Japanese and Chinese bikes as well. Sure the metal might not be the same quality, I see plenty of rusty 1 year old Chinese bikes around Devon, but hey, ..... they're still in daily use! Almost at 60,000, not long now buddy!
Could you ever do a review on the lexmoto chieftain 125
Probably more reliable than a Ducati
Idk my ducati is pretty reliable i mean it has over 30k miles on it and i dont have a problem X3
30k miles is nothing
Well, yeah that's only 10,000 miles a year of course that's nothing X3 i mean my mom's car had over 400k on the clock before some dumb bitch totaled it.
@ Derp which Ducati do you have, or rather which Ducati did you own that was unreliable?
i think you have NEVER owned or even ridden a Ducati, so what in fact you are doing is regurgitating something some bloke once told you about some thing neither of you know anything about.
The true nature of Ducati's and Ducati owners is that the bikes are the most beautiful to look at, amongst the fastest and best handling and the sweetest sounding of any manufacturer.
The owners of Ducati's love them for their styling and finesse. For their power handling and sheer rideability.
I've owned my 916 for 12 years, and it has never had any problems. It is ridden daily and apart from a regular routine service costs no more than the fuel I put in it.
Now, which model of Ducati did you have that was unreliable?
love all your videos spicy keep them up :)
Do u think any engine would fit this looking at getting a gilera runner 172 engine and bolting it to frame
I was going to comment about how you're up early, but it's actually 11:37am and I haven't slept yet haha
don't mean any disrespect.......you always talk about lexmoto being so good and it's not worth putting extra cash too for the Japanese options. I had a lexmoto adrenaline from new and spent more time pushing it than riding, I got the yzfr 125 which is double the price but is so much better to ride, more reliable and a lot faster. every one I know that's had a lexmoto had nothing but problems with them including this scooter. just don't get how you say all the lexmoto bikes you test are really good yet this isn't the case. I don't mean to come across like a dick that's don't my intention
+mick forte I found my chinise bike to be reliable over the 7 years I owned one, when I review lexmoto bikes I have had it for 1-3 months before I make a review. I'm just giving my opinion on how I have found them. Some bikes get issue and the same can be said for the larger brands just less often. But at over twice the price they should! But for me 4k plus on a 125cc bike is ridiculous!!
I've never had an issue with a Chinese bike, ridden them for years both on and off road and had more issues with the Kawasaki's and Suzuki's I've had.
I live near a sinnis dealer, bikes look great in showroom but a year after purchase they look like rusty 10 year old bikes. I live on the coast granted..
My adrenaline was very bad build quality, un do a nut and it will de thread, well mine did. I bought a brand new lexmoto adrenaline 2017 plate last year, it wasn't good . Yes it looks great that's about it i'm afraid in my opinion, sold it after just 4 months, it kept cutting out, not even the mechanic could work out why, the idle was fine, new engine etc , electrics all good, still this big problem.It's a bit of a false economy. Go for one of the big 4 second hand or brand new if you are rich
you should test ride a honda pcx not many decent reviews but they are amazing imo.. I've had a geared 125 before and just bought the pcx last week and its soo much more comfy and quicker around town whereas i found the amount of changing gear up and down on a geared 125 is ridiculous and inefficient..pcx= just pull throttle and i leave 600s behind from lights up to 30mph. s
Kevin Kulczyk Agreed, even better once you fit a Malossi multivar. I had a Suzuki dr125sm for commuting before that and the pcx beats it on acceleration and top speed but not handling, wheelies or endos though!
One of the best looking pads out there 😉
I have a friend with one, for a moped it's a cracking bike at that :)
ever since my accident i dont ride anymore, spinal cord injuries are a bitch, but if you wanted to have a look at my first and only motovlog you are welcome to it. ride safe spicy
get well soon :) !
Drizzle What happened man may I ask? Just watched your motovlog, I'm sorry you can't continue. But I hope you get better with time and effort. Stay strong sir. All the best
Sleepingdragon 1 unfortunately I was knocked off my bike and ended up having my spine wrap round a lamp post. severed it. it's been a year now nearly and I can finally walk again. but I'm half metal now. the pain is extreme daily and I can't ride a bike again. half fear/half leg weakness and balance. As much as I hated cagers. I had to get myself a car just because it was more practicle for me. but you better believe when I hear a bike I move over miles and give a nod still haha
Drizzle I cannot imagine what you've been through. But the fact that you are still strong and staying positive shows great strength of character. Amazing courage you show. Your experience shows again how vulnerable we are as bikers. It could happen to anyone and does. We often pay with our lives due to others. I hope your getting better with time and that one day you maybe on two wheels again. If you weren't at fault I imagine that some money is due your way. Although money is no real recompense for your injuries.
I hope the person who hit you has learned a very hard lesson.
I hope your recovery continues to go well.
All the best sir.
Nice video spicy keep it up!
Considering Chinese bikes get a bad rep (although they are massively improving) Lexmoto are arguably one of the better manufacturers. Their bikes tend to be good quality to be fair. I had a Lexmoto Street and it was brilliant, only issue I ever had really was valve adjustment anything else was general wear and tear. Sprockets, chain, oil filters etc etc
Scooters though, i am very ignorant with, i absolutely hate them. I just cannot take them seriously.
The burgman and X max are huge compared to this 50cc looking 125 ped though, a lot more viable for longer rides :p
+Silver Griffin it's not that small I'm 6ft 4
I know but you park that next to a burgman 125 and you'll be hard to spot it :P
+Silver Griffin also 52kg heavier... That's like always carrying a pillion. No hate sure it's a great machine just not sure I would want a large, considerably heavier machine with only a couple of extra KW and alot more expensive.
I'm sure the horsepower gain balances it it out, I'd rather be comfortable on a heavier machine. I'm not a fan of scoots but that burgman looks like an arm chair
Love that bike 💯
I'm looking into getting my first bike soon. Went to a dealer and they suggested the KTM RC125, it's £3000 but it's something I need for work. Apparently it tops out at around 70 on flats which is the max speed in the UK anyway. So definitely looking into it as an option, they also suggested a Yamaha, but there's no real difference apparently and KTM tend to have better after sales support.
Any thoughts Spicy? I will need to reach speeds of 50mph or so as part of my journey would take me via a motorway bypass (or I can add 15 minutes and skip that bypass sticking to local roads).
I own a Diablo and it is perfect for what you need - tops out around 60 mph for me (65 down a hill). Only problem is the motorway as I believe (don’t quote me) that you can’t ride 125cc on a motorway. Again, I believe that is true but I could be completely wrong.
I'm getting one it is perfect for me to go bk and fore to work and the shops
Hi Mate, really nice review. Answered all question I could have wanted ask :) Would appreciate to find your review of new Honda PCX 125 MY2018 and possibly compare it to this one since there is very small price difference. Although Honda has more features and its well known brand. Any chance you can borrow it for a test drive and do a review?
I have a cbr500r and a scooter and I use the scooter to all the dirty work I.e shopping, getting to the gym and to visit friends and family.
hey dude, I'm riding to Portsmouth from newport next month between the 19th and the 23rd, would be awesome if I could meet you, me and a friend are planning on making a trip to loomies on one of the days?
How can you get the seat off if you lost your key?
I used to put 5k miles a year on a 125cc scooter. You won't hear me talk crap about them. Only reason I got a big(ish) bike is so I wouldn't have to rev the nuts off of it to go 60 mph. It was always a laugh, though.
Could i ride one with a completed CBT, and without doing the theory test?.
Just remember: If you've got a full car license, it already entitles you to ride 50cc scooters. So there is the option of ultra cheap £500 scooters from places like learnerlegal.com. For city riding they're perfect even though they're rev limit restricted to ~30mph, that's the speed limit on most roads anyway, and if you really wanted to get faster acceleration and top speed, they're just a CDI wire snip away from around 45mph top speed.
For someone who doesn't want to spend a lot on bikes while they get to DSA age or who're unsure of getting into biking, if they have a car license a scooter is a very cheap and easy way to get into it.
30 mph is max speed on urban areas, town roads not most of the A roads do 40- 50 mph on these roads you need have your 50cc scoot derestricted to keep up with the flow of traffic other wise you get overtaken more often, another option get 125 scoot get you to 60 mph max but Diablo only does 55 which slower than most 125 scoots can do.
I think it'll fit a standard full face road helmet with no peak or a 3/4 helmet
+alistair tang I don't think so
This scoot is a clone of the much better Italjet Formula 125. Would like to see you review it
i have italjet formula they are the same
Big up Hayling!
try and do a honda pcx review, you may like it since it rides much different :)
great looking scooter one of the best looking scooters i reckon :) hope the increase the hp in there next one :)
I know I’m replying to a 3 year old comment but I must say you get a lot of head turning when your on this bike. I have the 2019 model in gun metal grey 😁
@@draifly7925 I picked a red one up yesterday but no manual with it. Any idea how to change the year on the digital instrument panel?
@spicy110 I am currently considering buying one, but I've noticed the Lexmoto Enigma. It has 7kw over the Diablo's 6.5, the under seat allegedly can take a full sized helmet. Yet it's £100 cheaper. What am I missing here? What are your thoughts?
What do you mean? £100 is not a big enough difference to mean anything really. Just go for the one you like the most. 👍
@@spicy110 I meant other than the Diablo being more compact, the Enigma just seems to edge it in several key areas. But maybe the Diablo handles better? There's not a lot of reviews around of either. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
It will be very much the same. 👍
I've got the Enigma and I love it. It's my first bike and I've only been riding a couple of months. It's great handling, sounds good and it's bigger than the Diablo. And it's fun.
It doesnt use any fuel because you aren't revving the piss out of it and it only goes 45? I mean if you didn't rev a 125 geared bike as much as everyone does and only went 45 everywhere im pretty sure they'd get close to the same fuel usage X3
Mate I got this Moped it's slow as shit on duel carriageway anyway to make it even 5MPH faster?
Great video.
Your intro sounds like the PlayStation loading song
i got gilera runner vxr 180 I love the thing I daz well off road good a fast for me
try ad performance more like sports exhaust , unrestricted racing CDI on Diablo it's clearly underpowered cus the diablo is restricted and needs mods to get to 65mph .
Nice one mate keep up the hard work. Support from hayling as always ;)
Is that an Italjet scooter?
Bikes too slow to be called a 125cc my Aerox 100cc went 60MPH no problem this struggles to get to 55MPH how can I make it Faster will a Sports Exhaust be worth it?
The bore size is 124cc so yes its a 125 but regardless is the Aerox not 2T? The reason this has less power is the euro emissions laws that get tighter every year, the same laws that make 2T no longer legal to sell.
Exhaust won't do much if anything, if speed is that important to you I would get a motorcycle with a gearbox.
@@spicy110 Not sure I just know my Aerox 100cc did 60MPH no issue often 70MPH on Duel Carriageway, then again I was 17 then I'm now 32 Bodybuilder so about 4 Stone Heavier.
I'm happy to stick with Scooters/Mopeds, I like them i just want it a little faster for the duel carriageway, around Town is fine of course.
So Sports Exhaust not worth it In your Opinion?
i started on a scooter a Piaggio ZIP 50cc then went on to a bt 125-9 the 50cc was faster as it was derestricted would do 55 tops the 125 did 50/55 at a push lol but was prefect for shopping and around the country lanes lol
I have the same scooter as this but it only does 40 flat. Any help to make it faster ?
If it really is the same and will only do 40! Sounds like it has issues that need addressing.
I'm just thinking in my head, Scooty or Gromy hmmm, storage or a little bit more fun.
Conner True scooty are fun...gromm too much shifting for a small bike anf hard ride on thd back
Conner True now the honda monkey is a diff storie
Are they good bike can you let me no please
Hayling island ??
do you have a extreme drive video
just seen this mate people your way that day was reporting seeing a giant on a scooter hope your mum is doing well
speedfight 3 mirrors there;)
The xmax is a maxi scooter. The nmax would be more suitable in this category with the diablo and pcx
was the Xmax out in 2017?
Please don't BUY Lexmoto it's just WASTE of money . They are built last about 12-18 months .
Just buy an older bike for the same same.
YOU WILL REGRET IT ....I DID !
does fit a helmet even a big one
nifty bike
Good one m8
same as Italjet Formula 150
Top speed?
th-cam.com/video/QVGCpyc-HpQ/w-d-xo.html
try a hyosung( gt 125 comet) sorry crap selling
I got the same one
👍👍👍
Can anyone please tell me
My dashboard light changed on Lexmoto Diablo from blue to orange and I don’t know how to change it back?
Any idea
I can't remember exactly but you must press and hold one or both of the buttons. So if you have been pressing buttons to it again
spicy110
Ok I will try that
Thank you 👍🏻
why didnt launch in india
Lexmoto don't sell outside the UK
spicy110 there one across the street from me and i live in thailand.
modena 150 italika
Best moped is Yamaha aerox 2 stroke 50cc tunes to 70😉 handsdown
kp46 I had a piaggio nrg 50cc took restrictor plate out changed bearings and exhaust managed to get 85mph out of it before piston and bore smashed to oblivion
sorry, its yamaha JOG !!!!!!😂😊
@@umadbro4493 Yamaha jog has drumb brakes on the rear while aerox has brembo discs front and back, looks better in my opinion and has the radiator in a better place
Don't buy this bike! limited parts only sold by Lexeter Ltd / Chinese motorcycle parts online and some have run out (service kits and clutch parts) Only one exhaust which is standard and even though its a Longjia LJ125T model, Longjia parts do not fit due to re-brand modifications to the variator/clutch and input/gear shafts.
Get a PCX 125 instead..
+Craig H I have talked to them any parts avaliablty issues are being resolved, parts are avaliable.
Yup that is what they keep telling me dude :) Clutch assembly is due in soon they say. But 5 months + wait for parts isn't good enough. If they do sort it and maybe have some performance parts made, I would then recommend.
Update, they told me Clutch assembly and other parts would be back in stock beginning May... its now Mid July and not in stock. More parts are now out of stock too, inc those needed for servicing!
Nice bike shame about the power and u cant get ur helmet under the seat
You could think of a lot worse? Pleaseee, I would love to hear the story on the worst bike you've ever ridden :D
Number one chinese scooter in algeria ...
cheaper to get a year old Honda or Yamaha that will be cheaper and faster. Lexmoto should of matched the power closer to the competition. For £2000 it just doesn't stack up as being good value. Euro 4 seems that it will hike prices up of cheap scooters to the point where it is pointless. The depreciation factor too, if Chinese bikes can rival power and similar specs for less then there is a market but when the cost comes close to a nearly new / second hand price it starts to be less appealing.
+t1234aylor it mostly likely is but I compare new for new. I let people make their own minds up Re going new or old.
spicy110 It will be interesting to see the Diablo second hand prices, it does look good but it is dog slow, 50mph is a joke flat out. You should test out popular 125 scooters to give a more balanced review of scooters in general. I don't know who pays £4000 for a scooter but they need their head checking, you could get a very nice bike for that.
I would say if commuting, scooters trump bikes. I have commuted on bikes and scooters and scooters come out on top.
No chain maintenance, good weather protection, storage, fuel consumption, no gear changes, acceleration.
ant helmet
This is one of the worse review I've seen. I know you're in love with Chinese bikes but how can you compare this scooter to the ones you listed? They aren't even the same type of scooters. Different price range, size, style, features...
Ever heard of Vespa, Piaggio, SYM, Kymco? They all sell similar (price, engine size, style) scooters that are in direct competion to this Diablo. Why didn't you compare it to those scootets? Did Lexmoto paid you to do this review?
I went to each brands site and looked up 125cc scooters. so that's all there is to compare too. also what features do they have this doesn't?
spicy110 What? You have to try harder.
+E L try what? I just answered your question.
spicy110 Research. I'm not trying to be a jerk but with your history with Chinese bikes, you have to go that extra mile to make sure you don't come across to be bias.
+E L yer pointing out the lexmoto is the least powerful by 2-4kw in a market where people just want speeeeeed! It's not exsactly the most supportive thing I could say is it.
about as fast as my old 125 lol
+GingeRbiker82 noo it was a speed demon!!
Little bit plasticky! Of course, it's make of a little bit of plastic!
Haha not all plastics are created equal.
.
HONDA THE BEST...
Not really but make some good bikes
spicy110 who is the best?
The name of this scooter....means foul monster from HELL...what idiot gave that title to a nice machine like this....😬CHANGE NAME
Lamborghini also have a diablo, there is wine and many other things with that name. Haha
Chinese machines need looking after meticulously, their not machines you ride and forget about when you park it.
Personally I don’t have a prob with Chinese bikes, you get what you pay for, they are simple machines to service and the parts are very reasonable.
If I paid 3-4 grand on a 125 I’d expect 100% quality, but for £1700-£2000 I’m happy to accept the odd niggle or two.
What do you mean as this Bike has already not ticked over twice after ot rained i had to take the Battery out and dry it
@@zakvondaniken9327 There are things you can do to seal the electrics from water ingress.
Like a silicone spray WD40, water dispersant.
Your battery I think must be located under your feet, tbh I’ve never had that issue and I’ve had 2 scooters that have the battery under the footboard.
Scooters are trash
True, but useful for cities.
Xenro66 true.
