I just bought exactly this same bike, same colour Saturday morning. It being delivered to me Thursday this week. Im 57 and will only stick to honda now. This bike is bullet proof with the old needle clocks which i love. I hate the new digital dashes. This bike gives you the real feel motorcycle experience. Much better than a computer on two wheels. You can fix, modify, service, and generally do all the maintenance yourself, and i do, its my hobby buying bikes, doing them up a bit using them each summer and selling them on but this bike im keeping forever. I managed to find the 2020 model, the last year they made this model. I love them, so cheap to insure and run. I'd recommend everyone owns one as a little run about house bike. Im going to put a rear top box on mine and a screen then they look like a much bigger bike without l plates. 👍
Nice video ,informative and interesting 👍 . Looking forward to seeing your future videos. 100% agree about noise from the exhaust actually being a safety feature . Even crossing the road now is more dangerous than it used to be because you can't hear electric vehicles approaching . Let's face it ,if you break wind in a crowded room it's guaranteed everybody will be aware that you are there !! Seriously though thanks for the video on the Honda. I'm 185 cm, 60 yrs old ,so not sure if this bike will be good for my knees or not ? It's a toss-up between it,a Lexmoto Rss scrambler , an FB Mondial SMX, or a Sinnis SM XE 125....decisions ,decisions....🙄 ??? Did you consider other 125s before you bought the Honda ? Would be interested to know ,cheers 👍 👍
Firstly I thank you for your comment So... I had to do my homework on this one and what I meant is..... ...the bike had to tick a few boxes As a beginner (again) I decided to start with 125cc that holds its value because I knew its not a forever kind a bike . I was more thinking what I can sell easy after I pass my test. I also looked at the reliability and maintenance of different machines . I also visited my local bike garage not where they sell them but where they fix them and.... ... simple.... Don't go for unknown brands even though they look great now. Go for good re-sale names like Honda or Yamaha. I also looked on Utube for reviews Well.... It served me well and I did straight after purchasing my Honda a proper service. OIL , BRAKE PADS and CHAIN check.
@@stancekings7231 Thanks for taking the time to reply 👍. You have really cemented my opinion to go for the Honda. Unfortunately I have heard too many negatives about cheaper bikes from multiple sources, so will play it safe and go for this one. The reliability and quality of build is paramount, and the icing on the cake is the terrific mpg! Thanks again and have a great weekend.
Hi, have you noticed the bike running lean since changing the exhaust and air filter, I want to do this but have heard it can cause too much air intake which can cause it to damage the engine ?
