- Lexmoto LXR 125. A surprisingly good cheap motorcycle. This bike shocked me. With cheaper bikes it’s often the case that they don’t perform as good as they look, but this is not true with this bike. The performance is as good if not better than most of the 125cc bikes I’ve been on. Join me for a look around this motorbike and then a test ride.
As always a really big thanks to @in2moto480 and @MotoGBofficial for letting me take this bike out. Without them non of these videos would be possible. #bikelife #motorbike #bike #england #english #motorcycle #motorcyclereview #bikereview #gillybikes #newbike #usedbike #usedmotorcycle #used #usedbikebargain #lexmoto #lxr125 #buy #buynew #buyused #happy #happyplace #trend #trending #trendingvideo #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mensmentalhealth #play #playing

I really appreciate the laid back, "let's just see how it feels" style of reviews you give us. Unpretentious and to the point. KUTGW. 👍
Thank you. I appreciate that 👍
What does KUTGW mean? I apologise for my ignorance
@@Techtonictheonekeep up the good work
I'm about to pick up the exact same one at the weekend with a 100 mile trip back to my house. Looking forward to the bendy roads
Sounds like a fun ride home. Congrats on the new bike. 😎👍
Enjoyed the review
Thank you. 😁
That chain maintenance makes me want to cry 😂 Lexmotos have improved massively over the last 10 years.
Any maintenance makes me cry 😂
@@GillyBikes 🤣
They fixed most of the chain issues in the se model in my experience
Should have worn your power ranger suit 😮 Looks good but I really cannot wait to get off my 125 😂 Glad your channel is growing, keep up the good reviews 👍🏻
Thanks mate. 125’s are great bikes to start on. My power ranger days are long gone 😂
Twig and giggle berries 😂😂😂😂 love it 😂
Literally just bought a used 22 plate 3900 miles on it its my first ever bike and i love it, cant wait to get my big license though
A great bike to start with. Ride safe 👍
Had a black and gold 23 plate as my learner bike. Loved every ride and the size helped me prepare for a larger bike feel. Would still have it now if I didn’t do my full licence
A really good bike to start on. What bike did you move on to?
@@GillyBikes Bit of a big jump, I went to a 2005 R1 lol
@jamesstandley6935 wow that is a big jump 😂. An amazing second bike 👍
@@GillyBikes I love it, in liquid silver with twin black widow exhausts (obviously, baffles removed) 😂😂
Nice. Bet that sounds good. 👍
That bike looks nice ❤
It does look great. 👍
One of the good things about the LXR 125 is that it's built around the same frame and wheels as the 350 version.
So you could pop a 350 straight in 🤔👍
Subbed, good channel
Thank you. 😁
I wanted to see you get your leg over it, it looked a pretty high seating position to me. Why I went for scooters.
They are quite tall for a 125. But if it’s the kind of bike you’re into the Honda CBR125 and Suzuki GSXR 125 are much shorter and are much better bikes. I’ve done performance tests on them both as well. Honda ua-cam.com/video/UKylrBqV3S4/v-deo.htmlsi=1f3Pm33I532TwuEd

I'm 5"11 85kg and I was thinking if getting this bike as my first, would you recommend me getting it?
As a cheap sports bike it’s very good. Your height won’t be a problem with it. Always best to go and sit in one first though and make sure you feel comfortable.
Thinking of buying one of these.
Last time I had one was 10years ago and was an Aprilia RS 125 from 2005.
Will this be a good bike to restart my biker days ?
Thanks.
They are not as good as your last RS 125 but they are a decent option. Good performance and great looks. If you want them to last though you have to make sure you look after them. Regular services etc. 👍
I'm planning to go for my CBT and get a 125, would you recommend this bike for a complete beginner? If not, what bike would you recommend?
These are decent for a first bike. Nice looking and decent to ride. But with it being a sports bike riding position they are not the most comfortable bike out there. It’s the same on all sports bikes. But if it’s the style you want then it’s a good choice.
@@GillyBikes Thanks a lot, I'll take that into consideration.👍
How tall are you and are you able to have your whole foot down on the ground ?
I'm a new rider could you maybe do a video in when and how to change gears
I might do a quick short covering it.
Do it based on power needed and your current speed
More hill = more power = lower gear
More speed = need higher gear
Hola. Precio.??
So im 17 next year do u think this is a good beginner bike ??
They are a good option at 17. Best thing though is go and sit on a few different bikes and see which one fits you best.
What’s the top speed please ?
Should be able to reach 70mph.
@@GillyBikeslol
70mph in beijing is 60mph here
im really confused with the cbt, because when taking the cbt do you have to take a theory test or have a drivers license. also can you have passengers after getting the A1 lisence
I had the Lexmoto (can’t remember the model name but it was the one based on the Honda CG125)
Absolute turd
Carb would clog up regularly from rust inside the fuel tank
It was 4 years old
Absolute dross
I hope they’ve improved!
They are still cheap compared to others. They have improved quality but they are not quite at the standard of the Japanese bikes or the better Chinese bikes.
Would you recommend this for a complete novice never had a bike and I’m 53
Yes, they are easy enough to ride but as a completely new rider there are easier bikes to start on.
What would you recommend then?
There are so many good bikes out there. If it was me now I would be considering any one of these Yamaha MT125, Benelli bn125, Keeway RKV or v-cruise, Suzuki gsxs 125, but it comes down to personal taste.
buying the black and blue lxr in 2 weeks had a xtrs dir a year anything i should do specific to getting a brand new bike?
The joys of buying a brand new one. The dealership will do it all for you. 👍
*Hi. Do i have to give theory test to ride 125 cc bikes?*
No. In the uk you just need to be 17 years old or older and have completed your CBT then you are good to ride for 2 years. Then if you want to stay on a 125 you just do another CBT. Or if you want a bigger bike you have to do the theory test.
I wish everyone in the UK used motorcycles more
Less traffic congestion. More green. Less parking space needed (we live in a small island ffs)
And collisions between motorcyclists aren’t as dangerous as between a motorcycle and car
Rather than EVs,
Government should have encouraged motorcycle usage for personal transport for contexts like Commuting to work, picking a kid up from school etc.
Literally a perfect solution but nah
muh EVs 🤓
I agree. All of these cars on the roads with just 1 person sat in them. They should get on their bikes 👍
Hold on your giggle berries have now turned into plums, that's some torture to endure 😂😂 Big bike looks for little money that's what a lot of learners like to have.
😂😂. Absolutely.

Please guys, dont buy Chinese bikes, you will regret it...
a brand new one wont make it to 10000 miles without it causing you a million and one headaches, do some research and dont take this guys word for it, riding it once does not show how terrible it is or could potentially be, if you plan to keep it for more than 6 months, get a Japanese bike.....
Which is what people said about Japanese bikes when they first arrived. Some of us are old enough to remember!
I know someone that bought one of these last year. His has 8000 already so I will keep you posted. I do get what you mean and I do have a theory. If you buy something expensive you are more likely to look after it. Pay for services, clean it, keep it out the rain etc. however most people buy Chinese bikes because they are cheap. That could be because they don’t have more money so they don’t keep up with the servicing, it could be that that just needed a bike and it was cheap so they really don’t care about it so they leave it out in the rain and don’t maintain it etc. but people who spend double the price on Japanese bikes buy them and look after them? It’s just a theory. Would a Japanese bike last if it was being abused and not looked after?
My son is looking at one of these for his first bike. Thing that attracts me is spares are cheap so when he drops it spare side parts won't break the bank. Cost has to be a factor as he is just coming up to 17, at college and only has a part time job so I expect he will be looking at me for a bit of financial help and I'm not that flush.
Will certainly look at second hand Yamahas etc though. I used to have the old Honda CB125 twin, loved that bike. I did kind of regret selling it to buy a crotch rocket Yamaha RD250LC.
How many on here remember being able to ride 250s on L plates for as long as you liked?
I have heard these don't like getting wet which is a bit of a worry.
Yes mate
Yes mate ride 250s for ever back in time but too many young riders were gettingkilled so th law was changed can u imagine from a 50cc ti a 250cc is a massivejump i was gonna do it myself but things got messed up thank god they did i rode my 50 like a loony hate to think what i wouĺd av been like on a 250
