Thank you for this nice review which reminds me of my first rides more than 45 years ago... I particularly like the environment in which you film your videos. You are doing a great job!
I've just bought this bike, like you said it really does ride beautifully and is incredible that you can get that much bike for the money. Great reveiw again and keep up the great work.
I'm in the USA so I never knew of this. Unfortunately we don't ever get a chance to buy something like this let alone see or hear much about them. I think this bike is really nice! I wish they were sold here.
Love the look of this bike. I'm considering a small café racer or retro scrambler as a second 'knock-around' bike. This is on my list, along with the Bullit Spirit and the HPS300. Great work, and thanks.
Excellent vlog and review Definitely one of the best looking 125s on the market in that price bracket, and talking of price, I hope someone from Triumph has watched this vid...A locking fuel cap on a bike costing just over 2k. Why can't Mr Bloor fit them to his bikes that cost 8k plus ??
Picked up my new Bomber on Saturday. Within 10 minutes the digital dash display went blank, followed a few minutes later by the speedometer packing up. Now back with the dealership to investigate.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Only rode it for a short period. Nice and nippy. Kept going for another gear though. Dealer phoned this morning. Apparently a faulty batch of instruments. Re designed one being sent out from Sinnis. Apparently 6 bikes out of 60 affected.
I have one and enjoy the ride however after 2 replacement stand kill switches ,one replacement battery one replaced indicator switch unit and one replacement starter motor my love is being tested !
Pretty little bike definitely reminds as you say of the Vello Thruxton ,I see you can buy a Brooklyn’s Can for £95 which I would be tempted to fit as imho it looks nicer than the Dunstall Decibel copy it has . As you guys ride modern machines and I have not biked for many ,years what’s you’re opinion of these Chinese power plants ? Some say OK but not nearly up to the Japanese quality others they are total rubbish and only good for 15000 miles I could do with some help on this as I’m contemplating this little bike for pottering about on. I’m a pensioner so price is a factor but I still want a real bike rather than a pop pop hairdryer and as shops will always say everything they sell is brilliant I really value your opinions rather than waste money on looks over quality. Thanks guys Lee
Lee B Yes the exhaust swap is a good idea. It seems to be good quality and we had no niggles but haven’t had a chance to test reliably over an extended period. I believe that the quality of Chinese bikes is now as good as any, afterall pretty much everything is made in China nowadays

Sorry only just saw your comment - it slipped past the notifications somehow. The engines feel OK to be honest; no doubt not as refined or well put together as the big 4 Japanese bikes, but for the price are fine.
Pretty little bike as you say very Velocity Thruxton just needs a Brooklyn’s can exhaust instead of the Dunstall decibel style one to finish it off . Just one question as you ride modern machines and I haven’t biked for over 30 years what the reliability of these Chinese power plants . I’ve heard various views from OK too really poor ? Cheers guys, Lee
I think its a superb looking bike but the FB Mondial 1948 Pagani is the best looking 125 on the market in my opinion but for the price I would go with the Bomber
Hi! Great review! I’m looking at this bike as a first bike. I’m new to biking (hence looking at learn-legal) so I’m sorry if this is a slightly stupid question... but how would I add luggage carrying potential to this bike? Or is it possible at all? I’ve seen many cafe racers with three tier luggage systems, one bag on top and a few side saddle bags. Is it possible with this?
I don’t think it comes with accessory luggage but I’m sure you can get some aftermarket saddle bags to fit. Make sure to watch our upload on Monday at 6pm London time!
Hi I have been riding a bomber for the last few months and have been loving. I've found that you can get luggage on using bungee netting and using the passenger hand bars. I've also remover the back plastic (the bit with the 37) and i think it looks nicer
Could You please confirm the Seat Height of this Bike I read that It was 28 inches where as You stated 30 inches ,this makes a great deal of difference for Me .
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thank You for Your Reply ,I do not understand why Someone has given a Thumbs down for this Video because I give You Top Marks ,thank You for all the Information and a Top Review .
I've just tried to order this bike through my local dealer and been told that it's been discontinued. This review was only published 3 months ago, so surely they wouldn't send a press bike out with plans to discontinue it so shortly afterwards?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I'm going to call Sinnis in working hours to find out directly, and if it is discontinued, try and source one. Do you have any recommendations for other Café Racer style 125s?
Thanks buddy. They are so different and both as good as each other. If you want to lay it down in the corners get the Bomber. If you want to be more laid back, get the Hoodlum
Hi I've never heard of 125s being limited to 60mph, I know some can go faster but you make it sound like a legal thing? I'm confused. And what is it that actually limits the speed?
You can lean the Bomber over in the corners more. The Hoodlum is more powerful with the Toro pipe, but you can get one for the Bomber. The Hoodlum is a more comfortable riding position (but I like cruisers). Bomber more appeal to younger riders.
Nice looking bike but I think I would change the tyres as I imagine the roads I ride on in Cornwall, full of mud and cow dung would be a bit sketchy on those slightly knobbly ones.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan personally no I don't. Having ridden many bikes of all styles I feel they wouldn't give you the most confidence on a greasy road surface. But I may be wrong, I have been many times before!! 😄 Really enjoy your reviews by the way. I am looking to get another motorbike after shattering my pelvis into about 30 pieces in 2003 after crashing my last one avoiding a girl on a pushbike who pulled out in front of me. Speed is no longer important to me so a 125 or 250 would suit me so I watch your reviews with interest.
Greetings, i much enjoy your content, could you review the AJS Highway Star 125? Looking to get one, and id appreciate the effort. Keep up the torque! :)
Seriously, the filming and reviews on your channel are by far the best of any motorcycle channel on UA-cam!
Wow thanks! 💯👊🏼❤️
I’ve never heard of this bike, but it’s beautiful. I want one.

You’ve convinced me, just bought one!
Excellent! You won’t stop looking at it!
That's one small beautiful cafe racer... Nice review.. cool bike overall
Shakeeb Ahmer yes isn’t it! Thanks buddy 👊🏼
Agree. fantastic looking, my only reservation would be quality of build?

Wobbly Brother Thanks Wobbly! Yes it’s so beautiful to look at, and fun to ride too. It corners so well. Hopefully Triumph are watching 😁
I really love the look of this bike 💕
Yes it’s a real beauty!
Nice looking bike, like the bay city rollers jeans.
Yes it’s a great looker! Haha yes that must be why I bought the jeans 👊🏼
Dammmmm, that's a very nice bike!!! Nice video guys!
Thanks!! It sure is!

Steve Waller OK that’s good. I never look at the speedo anyway! 😉
@@MrDarcy-OlMan didn't have much choice, i was in a 30 limit with cameras. Bike ready tomorrow hopefully.
Steve Waller Yes Thats a problem! 👍🏼 good luck
Great review as usual chaps.
Oli Ox Thanks buddy 👊🏼💯
Very good looking bike chaps I agree and great value for money just over £2100 wow
Yes absolutely 👊🏼
I have one and enjoy the ride however after 2 replacement stand kill switches ,one replacement battery one replaced indicator switch unit and one replacement starter motor my love is being tested !
OK that’s a shame. Was it covered by the warranty?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan all covered just not what you expect from a new bike
I was choosing between a mutt or this, I'm sold on the bomber.
That's great! The Bomber is soooo pretty and it's really nice to ride too!
Cool little bike. Would any stock skid or bash plate fit this?
Yes it’s lovely. I don’t know whether a stock skid plate would fit tbh. If you contact Sinnis via their website directly, I’m sure they’d know.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Good idea, will do.

@@MrDarcy-OlMan 500 don't you mean 300? That is on my shopping list after I buy my Indian Scout 60
Peter Robinson yes 300 sorry typo
Great video. Are the Sinnis Bomber and the Sinnis Goodwood the same bike?
Originally going to be called Goodwood but they changed it to Bomber
I wish we could get them in the U.S.
Yes: I wonder why it’s not available there?
is that a dent in the frame top tube under the seat?
Actually yes. I’ll bring it up with the manufacturer.
I wish I could buy in the states
Yes 🇺🇸
It's got a good sound for a 125!
Yes it has actually 👊🏼
Great review, as always. Will you be reviewing the AJS Highway Star? Looks stunning, but hardly any reviews on it.

Sinnis hoodlum vs sinnis bumber
Which would you get and why ?
I want to get one of them
Thanks buddy. They are so different and both as good as each other. If you want to lay it down in the corners get the Bomber. If you want to be more laid back, get the Hoodlum
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thank you
this or the hoodlum? can't decide !
I think this may be discontinued if that helps
Hi I've never heard of 125s being limited to 60mph, I know some can go faster but you make it sound like a legal thing? I'm confused. And what is it that actually limits the speed?
There’s no limit on speed just on horsepower. They can be no more than 11kw or 14.75hp
@@MrDarcy-OlMan ah ok, thanks 😊
Besides the looks, how would you compare it to the Hoodlum?
You can lean the Bomber over in the corners more. The Hoodlum is more powerful with the Toro pipe, but you can get one for the Bomber. The Hoodlum is a more comfortable riding position (but I like cruisers). Bomber more appeal to younger riders.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan appreciate the feedback! Thinking about getting the Hoodlum for my first bike, but I also really like the style of the bomber.
Nice looking bike but I think I would change the tyres as I imagine the roads I ride on in Cornwall, full of mud and cow dung would be a bit sketchy on those slightly knobbly ones.
Don’t you think the tyres would be suited to that?

Yes maybe one day 🤞🏼
That is a cool 😎 bike.
Patxi del Norte Sure is! 💯
need to work on your audio levels
Is that you playing guitar?
No its just a soundtrack
This or Honda Monkey?
Down to personal choice on looks really. We love them both. For younger men, the Sinnis is cool. For people who don’t care, the Honda is quirky.
I prefer this one 👍
This Bike! That is if they could be had in the USA.
Tidy little machine. No need to chop an old Suzuki 125 to get a cafe racer! I still prefer the Honda Monkey but I am a geek. 🙈
Oli Ox yes isn’t it cool! The old Suzukis and such like, even in poor condition are more expensive than the Sinnis! Yes the Monkey is fab
You should try and review mutt motorcycles
That my be on the cards. We are working on it.
