Hey Mark, that is a really cool bike. Very different looking certainly with automotive design features. The 300 version would be the pick of the bunch here in Aus. However, the 450cc capacity is a growing market for new riders & riders after a small runabout 👍 Thanks for your time & energy🥇
Nice. 👍🏻 I love the design. One question though, isn't the headlight low beam supposed to start by default on modern bikes? (like it does for example on a CFMoto).
thank you very much for reviewing this bike! Unlike many, I have been waiting for it before it even officially came out, and now is the time for me to sell my ninja125 and get this one 😊 I don’t really understand why they didn’t sell more of it in 2023, and 2024 is being pretty poor so far too, even though the price is very agressive (at least here, in France). The roads are similar to english ones, and since I don’t like being on high speed roads, i don’t mind the 60mph close to max speed, otherwise honestly it is just best to pass the permit and get a 300 at least.
Rather interesting. And definitely agree, looks like the Peugeot lights on that. Looks pretty cool for a 125 to be fair and seems a good little bike. I like the front light 👌
Hi there. Excellent review. I’ve bought a PM01 and I’m having problems getting insurance. None of the insurers seems to include it in their lists. Any suggestions.
@@PeterYates-t7z I got a quote on Friday from Bikesure. It is not on the online lists but I called them and they came in really competitively - same price pretty much as the Honda CBF and Zontes G1. Previous quote on this from Lexham was 4x the price.
Good review as always Mark, I think I`d go for the Sinnis Terrain though, better looking and loads or storage and a grand cheaper, I prefer the adventure bike look.
Sounds like a great bike, with a lot of positives, however imho it is no looker. I thought it was pretty ugly from the side, only for things to get worse at the front end, and I can't say that I'm keen on the tail end either. An excellent 125 let down by the looks. Aesthetics are subjective so I'm sure that many will love it, but it's not for me.
Good review as usual Mark. Looks are subjective and the looks of this don’t do it for me, but whatever floats your boat. My Honda SH125i euro 5 scooter is slightly quicker and cost a little less with it’s included top box, it has much better fuel economy and would probably make a better year round commuter. My Meteor 350 has similar or slightly better fuel economy and costs about the same but obviously requires a licence. Not a bad little bike if the looks appeal to you and seems like it would be cheap to run, it depends on whether there’s a Peugeot dealer near you I suppose.
I like the bike as shown, BUT, when you csn get a 411cc Royal Enfield Himalayan for only another £200-300, you begin to see this machine as a little overpriced? The "Himmy" will do the required 70-75mph, will go anywhere /do anything AND do it cheaply and reliably, something the Peugeot has yet to prove! Okay, you're goingvto need your A2 license, but who wants to be riding around on "L" plates forever anyway? Like I've said, great bike, but not likely to be a COMPETITIVE OPTION, in the 125cc class, and for those eho already have the full license, then not the VALUE you would be looking for! If you want something a bit different, then maybe it's worth paying for, but more than £4k for a 125 seems a bit steep to me?
@@motorsforthemasses the Japanese "big four" have been out of touch for some time, as demonstrated by the small numbers they are selling compared to Chinese stuff! (and that includes all the badged models!) Japanese prices are WAAAAY to much in comparison.

What a long review about PM-01. Thank you for your efforts, I couldn't find any detail review about it. This will be a serious help for me.
Best review of this motorcycle in YT!

It sounds very good for a Stock Exhaust! 👌🏻
Great review. Complete, precise, and entertaining 👍
Nice review! It was like Johnathan Pearce the football commentator talking about it. Good job!
Nice Peugeot PM 125 motorcycles and nice review
Nice 125, front light reminds of the biker scout from return of the jedi, especially on the white bike, good review.

Is it just me or is the front Dr who's K9
Very good reststart for Peugeot.
But why not 15hp (11kw) ?
That's what I thought, most 125cc riders want the max 15hp, these would sell well if they did make 15hp
11kw is 14.75 bhp....close enough, besides it us more about the correlation between bhp and torque rather than just 1 extra bhp.
@@motorsforthemasses your right torque matters more than hp with 125s
The headlight assembly looks like Dr Who's dog K9, from the front.
M8 you're making me laugh a little bit too hard 😂
😂
Ha... It does!
Nice. 👍🏻 I love the design. One question though, isn't the headlight low beam supposed to start by default on modern bikes? (like it does for example on a CFMoto).
I thought so too but it's ok to have a separate switch because it has DRL's You can start it on the side stand without clutch too.

Any chance you'll be getting a nk 450 to test ?
Not keen on the bike, but a great review - very thorough. Thank you!
Was this bike fully run-in by any chance ? Thanks
Looking at the lights you could re-badge it as a Ford Mustang.🤔🤔🤔

From the side i can't stop thinking. oh Battlestar Galactica 😲
3 words......... IT'S A DOG !
But we all love dogs don´t we 😉
It's a 125......🤷♂️
They are faster in 5th , 6th Is for economy
Let's look at some specs should have gone to Specsavers 😂😂😂
£1k cheaper now!
It does look like a cheap chinese bike, i doubt it they will sell many
