Driving a medley 125 is more for practical reasons. I really like this scooter for that. I drive it myself. When I was in the driving school the people mostly said that they want to do the motorbike licence for speeding with their bikes. I got laughed when saying I want to drive a faster scooter. its cheap and practical. :D
Thanks so much for posting this. I’ve been looking at all the same scooters as you were and the same online reviews. Never really considered a ‘utility’ scooter before seeing the bikematters reviews, (they also rated it the number 1 commuter 125), and seeing your honest appraisal has sealed the deal for me, so thank you. Look forward to checking out your other content, love the relaxed, jovial style too!
I can't get me leg over a normal bike and, after a couple of other scooters, I'm loving my Honda SH350i. I wanted a bit more power to keep up with my mates on their sports bikes. A couple of months back, I led a day out of around 200 miles in the Lake District. A BMW S1000R rider was "struggling to keep up" and needed half an hour to recover. I was fresh as a daisy with my large windscreen and "Airhawk" type air cushion.
Thank you, i really enjoyed the review. I currently have an sh 125. I'm looking at a Yamaha nmax, Honda pcx, Suzuki burgman ex. The Piaggio has the most under seat storage. Although unlike the pcx and nmax, it's not keyless.
The MIA is standard on the Medley S version (at only £100 extra over yours with red accents) and can also be purchased separately as an accessory for £123, excluding fitting.
Very good looking bike. The more I think about it, the more I think an Smax would be overkill, A 50cc may be too small for long trips in the country so a mid size scooter seems ideal, easy to park.
thanks! I wish the bike looked more beefy, but it's very well designed when it comes to practicality. This video helped me make the buying decision (: I hope it won't disappoint 😅
It is a very practical bike and I really love the way it handles. The engine is very flexible and pulls well, don’t think you’ll be disappointed 👍 Ride safe.
Nice video, I'm hoping to get one of these next week, was looking at the honda sh but this looks more suitable for me, I've got a triumph T100 my summer bike but want a bike to ride for work. You live near me I'm in Kent too. The older you get you still love bikes but no longer want the speed 😊
@@BikeMates picked it up today from Tenterden, For today's roads it's perfect. I'm only using it for work, if I see you out on my triumph I'll give you a nod 😄
Nice ride mate. Certainly well equipped 👍 I wish I could fill my bike for £8 and get 210 miles🤔😁 Be careful, if you keep on eating them burgers and ice creams it may not pull you😁👍

Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Keyless wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me but we all have different needs 😊
Whatever you get ride safe 👍
I think it's a good looking scoot and they are quick off the line in the city traffic!
Yes I agree it’s a good looking scoot and does everything I want so very pleased 😃

I've just put a deposit on one. Looking forward to riding it
@@jasonstatham6170 I reckon you will love it 👍
First rate vlog, keep it up mate.
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed it 👍

Yes it would be a great choice as a little commuter bike 👍
I’ll look out for you when I’m next out 😂

@@umik8512 How are you liking the bike after 5 months mate? I'm planning to go get one today myself.
It's been perfect for using for town work during rush hours. Great on petrol, starts with no issues.
Nice ride mate. Certainly well equipped 👍

Thanks mate I’m certainly enjoying 2 wheels again.
Don’t worry about the buggers and ice cream 🍦 I’ll walk that off over the park next week 😂😂
@@BikeMates 👍🤣🍔🍦
My 2021 Medley does about 130 miles on a tank (7 litres).
Hi sparky ..I was wondering why you hadn't posted for a while...I hope you're on the mend and good to see you back on two wheels mate ...stay safe
Thanks mate, yes I’m mending nicely now 👍
You stay safe as well.
So you having a problem getting your leg over a motorbike
I can only manage a scooter these days Ah...just watched your video, same story as me then
Yes a combination of injuries from my accident in 2019 and old age I’m afraid, but the little scooter does the job very well 👌
How's the suspension?
Suspension is good all round really but the rear can be a little harsh over pot holes.
MADE IN VIETNAM ?
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE ACCENT
@@vnonkwinn6233 ???????
Thinking of buying this over a SYM JET 14. I've had a sym jet 14 before. But this looks nice
These are more reliable than sym.
