PLEASE READ There has been some confusions over the claimed bhp (brake horse power) of the LXR380, here is the timeline of events for clarity. -At the time for recording the comparison and review videos, I checked Lexmoto's website for the bhp figure (basic fact checking I do for my reviews) at this time the claim was 40bhp. As I say in this review and all the other videos were I mentioned the claimed bhp, I am unsure of that figure myself but then I am not a human dyno. -When the comparison video went live to KZread someone posted a comment pointing out the claimed figure on the website was 33.5bhp. I had a look and sure enough it was now showing 33.5bhp. This felt like a more realistic figure and I shared a post pointing out this had changed. This was again for clarity and to stop comments saying "it has 33 not 40 idiot" or words to that affect. -As I write this before I release this review to KZread, the power figure on the website has changed back to 40bhp again. I contacted Lexmoto for clarity over this but as yet no answer as to how this mistake happened or what the official word over this is, as the person who will be able to answer that is currently away. As you see in this video I am always honest with my reviews and try to give the best information to you I can, that is why I have pinned this comment for anyone left confused.

Good stuff 👍 u are right about the side stand switch as people are having the same issues with the LXR 125 👌

Brilliant review spicy. I can see the extra time you put into this one in the quality of footage, scripting and editing. Comparing this to even the lxr 125 review youve smashed this one mate. Your work and effort doesnt go unnoticed

I agree the comparison with the 125 would have been great .

As the weather has been totally Crap, I eagerly await the sunshine in my part of Essex, I've bought the 380 for the new registration in March, & I need to get some miles on it, as for the side stand switch & the rear seat vents unless I get caught up in a rain storm it isn't a problem for me, as it's a Summer toy. Thanks for the reviews Spicy, safe riding out there. 👍🏍️

Great video. So excited now the weather is improving. Here's to many dry and warm miles to come 👍👍

Good honest informative review as usual 👍

One of the few reviewers on KZread worth listening to now so many have jumped on the bandwagon. This looks like a lot of fun, as a 55 year old I have no doubt that it would take me right back...

Very good review spicy. You are a very humble individual and I truly enjoy your reviews due to this. I am going to do my full licence at the beginning of the season next year and I am thinking of one of these to begin with and this review has helped me considerably. Keep up the good work fella. 😁👍🏾

Another fantastic review spicy.

I think that was a spot on review! 👍

Great video man! Thanks for sharing this with us. Could you tell me, please, if this model has breakdown lights? On my lxr125 I don't have them and that's quite annoying tbh..

Hey mate, great videos on bikes. Learned alot with your explanations. If you can would you be able to do a video on some 125cc brands sold in UK, mainly being Mutt, Mash and Bullit motorcycles, would be great to get your opinions in these entry level bikes. Thanks in advance!!

Wossup Spicy. I've owned my LXR 380 since December 2020. I Do Like This Bike. Excellent around town fun pretty quick and economical.

I've been playing with bikes for over 20 years and last year I put myself through a suspension technician course in the belief I need to learn more and yes I did learn but my base knowledge was sound. So I have a few questions for you. what oil is in the suspension front and rear and how old is it? Was the bike suspension setup for you on it?

If I was in the market for a bike then I would get one - it looks like a lot of fun without a lot of risk. Difficult question: If they let you have it for a year how much would you ride it in proportion to Derek and DIVI?

Nice reveiw...what happened to the dissapearing man at 20.16 roughly.did any one find him.think he glitched to another realm

It is a great looking bike, love them trying to emulate Italian electrics by having them water cooled! :D If I was looking at similar bikes, I think the KTM RS390 would be on the shopping list over this, but that is a wedge more money, this would def be on the shortlist! :-)

Great looking bike. Here's my question, if it was your money are you buying this or a 300/400 ninja?

With pin point accuracy you actually just described my Suzuki Gladius 650. Weighs 200kg, weight is all low and central, same side stand switch problem where if it isn't 100% folded back to the millimetre then it cuts off when you put it in to 1st, the bike sits at 130mph top end but has so much more in it but its as aerodynamic as dumbo. My bike does the same weird noise at low RPM but doesn't affect the feel or ride at all it's just a weird 90 degree V twin rumble kind of? Front brake is absolutely nutty. Too good for the bike and non aggresive ABS on the rear. I bought mine for £1800 directly from the learning school. Best choice ever. Doesn't 0-60 in 3.5 (video due April) and 2nd gear redline is 70mph. But I would still be interested in owing the 380. I would daily the shit out of it like I do mine. I'm bored of 1st and 2nd gear. I want to redline at least 2 gears without the threat of loosing my license. Great work Spicy. Brutally honest review, no bullshit. Loved it brother 🤙

Hei spicy! Can you please do a review of the lexmoto zsxr 125?

You should do a track day video or something

Hi Mate. Have you ever done the Burnham Bends?

Where does that 200 weight come from as it's the same weight as my 600 bandit

I wanted to buy one today. Now I’m worried 😧. Is it worth buying with all these faults

Is this the bike with fake bobbins in the front discs to make them look like floating discs?

I know they are pushing the bike as the top of the line Se spec colours.But I think they missed a trick. I prefer the blue/grey colour scheme and the red frame is a problem for a panel swap. Should have gone for Matt black and it would have fitted all colour schemes.

what are the gear ratios and gears?

Can you review the lexmoto isca

Is it any good for motorway riding?

Maybe Lexmoto would chip in with the offer of a dyno run?

Hi Spicey I got to be honest you completely sold the LXR 125 to me. and It's really is the best thing i ever bought. for the cost quality size sound and speed of the bike it really is perfect. With the 380, I'm not going to get one. i really love your reviews and i got to thank you! With the 380 i just feel like its maybe 60% of where I need it to be. for the 125cc range Lexmoto has come a long way since for example the days of the xtrs or venom the LXR 125 is miles better (in my opinion) and i really do hope that with time they can catch up to the big 4 with the larger CC bikes. but for my first big bike i think ill pay more and get more most likely a Kawasaki. I think they have hit the nail on the head with the 380 in the A2 market. if i was not old enough to get a direct access and restricted to A2 I would most likely go ahead and get this, save money now and spend it in a few years on the 600cc + market. but as a 29 year old about to take a direct access the 380 is just "good but a little disappointing" for me. so in short trdl: I would get this if i was too young to get one of the big 4 but as a older client this just isn't good enough. and coming from the lxr 125. i REALLLLY wanted it to be better. great video's bro. keep them coming.

Hi spicy, my sone is 17 in Feb and he wants to move up to lxrSe125. We are taking his Aspire for a service on Wednesday and they have an lxrSe there which he can have a sit on. My question is, should I put deposit on the bike they have there or wait and order one nearer his birthday? I’m a bit confused as the euro 5 regs are coming in and don’t know how that would affect a new LXR. Would really appreciate your help mate.

Hey the regulations only apply to the manufactures registering the bike. As soon as it is registered its perfectly legal as long as it was registered before the new regulations date. I don't know if the lxr is non euro 5 or not but even if it isn't lexmoto or the dealers will be sure to pre register them so they can be sold after that date.

My 400 cc bikes (of which I have a few) are absolutely ace. All I need, I have other bigger bikes.

That bike is a bargain, they are £3699 otr with free breakdown and delivery in some cases . A new 400 for this money is a no brainer. I bought a 58 plate Ninja 250 for £1450 privately last year and I have an 03 Mille 1000 too. These little bikes are so much fun. Your less likely to lose it on wet roads or put too much power down.

Why on 2-wheeled Earth did Lexmoto only release this in 1 colour??? The 125's had a nice variety of colours to choose from. Matte Black in this and I would have gone for the 380. I guess I could just bear with my 125 for a while and aim for a MT-10 SP in a years time now :D Either way nice review, thumbs up for you sir 👍

I don't know the exact answer but what I can say is every time I have asked an obvious question like this they always surprise me by have a very valid reason why they do what they do. It's not always as strait forward as you may think also the launch of this bike and the shut down of China were very close it's possible they were planning on it but can't get the bikes atm.

Ahh well I'll try and tolerate using the 125 while saving up for a beast of a motor next year now I've acquired my full license :p Cheers fella! 👍

It'd be much fairer to judge his bike against something like a Suzie gsx 250 which is still about £500 more expensive. THEN you'd appreciate how good this Lexie is.

Bit like the Kawasaki ER5

I still like the Ninja 300,at least not copying anything.

I have it on good authority(*) that smacking one's ladybits into something solid hurts like a matriarchal fornicator as well. (*): one of my highschool classmates worked as a stuntwoman for film and TV for 15 years. In fact, if you see a car crash in a 1990's Belgian TV drama, that's probably her driving.

Surely closest comparison is Kawasaki Ninja 400.Not the Honda CBR 500r.

You should check the size of Rear tyre. It's not the stock trye that comes with the lexmoto lxr. And your golden chain that's also after market chain it does not come stock. Btw what tyre air pressure are you using for this bike? And you should install clip on handle bar for better riding posture and for better view of odometer.

@@spicy110 What is the Tyre Size?

A reasonable bike although I think a Honda CBR500R is worth spending the extra money on, as the Lexmoto has quite a few issues which would really annoy me. The chain, air intakes (scooping up water), throttle response, poor headlamp, rusty fasteners, coupled up with the disappointing overall performance (MPH and MPG) would make me look elsewhere. Honda's keep good residues (I know they are considerably more costly) and I fear the LXR would look a bit ratty after a couple of years of use and fetch little money. Lexmoto are getting there, but need to get these niggles sorted to be a serious contender in the larger bike market place.

A 2nd hand sv650s would be a better buy IMO, a faster nicer sounding bike and save yourself about 1.5k. The chain being too big for the bike shows a lack of quality and QA. I don't want to hate but 3800 could get you a better bike.

Bikes obviously need a little cut out for your happy berries to fit into.

Def pretty cool for what it is. I say spend an extra 1000 quid and get a duke (or rc390) or a g310, or shit, a CBR300 is the same price as this. They'll all be more polished, bigger community, not have so many of these niggles (chain chewing on tire from the factory? wtf?). I def. don't hate it, but I'd spend a little bit more and get a better bike. I'm biased as shit, though, because I have a duke 390, but would highly recommend it to anybody looking in this segment. I have a few bikes (HD's, adventure, "A2 segment", etc.) and am from the US, so no license or hp restrictions, and I'm decent enough financially that I could really buy whatever I want realistically speaking, but I absolutely love that baby duke. Winding that thumper out to 11,0000 revs? 50hp? Thing's a charm. 0-60 in 5.5s puts it faster than any of these, I think, really pulls like a raped ape given it's only 373cc's. Can do power wheelies in town and everything. It's an utter BLAST around town & in the city, super nimble, and can do highway riding quite well, although probably not as well as this as this is a twin. But yeah, I'd really say check it out if you're looking in this segment.... Reviewers and what-not talk about it being a "beginner bike", but I've been riding for over a decade and can easily afford something more expensive to commute on but I don't because I absolutely love that bike - smile every time I wind it out. Too fun. I've had liter bikes that put less smiles on my face than this duke.

These bikes come with a 2yr parts and labour warranty so most issue will be covered. As I always say people need to do their own research beyond my reviews as I can only go on one bike.
