It’s still looks a proper tank to be fair, the luggage is an incredible addition. It’s got a lot of hidden compartments to store stuff 👏 I think the 125 model will sell very well. I can’t imagine off-roading on a scooter 😳 If I was after this style I’m not sure if this would be the one I go for, but it’s a bloody good effort from Lexmoto 👏 Great video mate, hope you’re well

Thanks RB. It's surprising how many comments I get on the Honda video about people wanting to take these things laning. They wouldn't be doing that for long! All good thanks, hope your good too👍🍻

Iv had a blast and a whale of a time aboard my Honda SH300, lovely skoot. First thing I saw on the Lexmoto here was the red rusty exhaust. Things never change really

That's a really interesting bike! A 125 sized frame w/a 300 opens up a lot of possibilities for smaller riders. I ride an Xmax 300 and on the forums are many shorter folks asking about the seat height and how to lower it. I'm 6 foot w/a 32" in seam and I'm on the ball of my foot sitting on the bike. When riders outgrow a bike's capabilities they don't necessarily outgrow the size of the frame. Great to see an option for that segment!

Good quality boxes, looks long and low. You were still able to filter with the boxes on? Did it feel low on the fast road? When you compare the price to the SO1. Maybe not the same quality but good enough.😊

@exeterrider

10 ай бұрын

With the boxes on it becomes quite wide so it makes me nervous filtering. I only would have them on if absolutely needed. It felt like any other on the fast road really, although it was a bit "twitchy" with those little wheels, it needs 14/15 inch at those speeds really tbh.

Nice scoot, good review, I’m not too keen on the keyless ignition either, ok when it’s a new bike and everything works but as it gets older it’s one more complication to go wrong, and it’s Sod’s law that will happen just outside the warranty period, key ignition please Lexmoto or at least a choice when buyers make an order.

Interesting bike as you get a lot more power, plus luggage than a 125, but it's still pretty light weight, unlike a lot of 300s that try to make them into big maxi scooters and they gain a lot of weight. If you don't need pillion space it could be a good option.

Good review as always, surely anyone who’s got the money to buy one of these new would find the extra for a Honda. I agree that a 125 version may clean up if priced correctly due to lack of competition. But I just can’t see this scooter being a success as the value just isn’t there.

Hello mate, Transalp by any chance? I do get where your coming from although I would say many brands are using almost similar practices , and many bike parts from all brands use Chinese parts so its a slightly complicated issue. As I say though some of the practices are a disgrace, but unless I see direct links with those type of practices then I have to take the bikes for the merits I can see. Thanks very much for watching though , you worded that well so appreciate that.

@craigyllyn

10 ай бұрын

I have thought about the issues around the Chinese but I tied myself up in knots. If I were to be consistent I couldn’t ignore the Japanese human rights violations over the last hundred years, then the German record and of course Austria too. I can’t therefore ignore the Italians who were also in league with the Germans . The USA and it’s race record? That’s not good either. This leaves the English manufacturers. We have managed to be prime movers and shakers in the slave trade, links with Oligarchs who are friends with Vladimir. In the past of course we even treated the Irish Scottish and Welsh appallingly. Which means that I would really need to walk. So… I decided that I would start to take a view on bikes etc from a quality standpoint. A bike could be made by a bunch of nuns but unless it’s a quality piece of equipment really the “values” behind it are not going to make it viable. I’m leaving the issues to our politicians. I doubt the UK bike market is of any real influence to any megalomaniacal country leader. Oh two last things. The first Chinese bike I rode was a moped in the late naughties. I still have nightmares. Yes, I realise that the nun reference might not work. See? It’s such a difficult thing. Where do we call a halt? I’ll crawl back under a stone. But very good review. 👍👍👍

Nice looking bike but I think I'd rather pay another £1000 and get a Honda Forza 350 / Honda ADV 350 which beats it in nearly every way. I would also be concerned what this bike would be worth in 2 - 3 years after going through a couple of winters. At about £3500 this would be a good proposition but is too many bucks for what is basically a budget bike. Having said that, credit to Lexmoto for including luggage and heated grips. I think as you state, the 125 version might sell well.

Wow I think to put it kindly there is more than a passing resemblance to an existing Honda model and I wouldn't be surprised if Honda's legal department are taking a close look at this 🤣🤣🤣 Based on Lexmoto's previous offerings I think the only way to buy a Lexmoto product is to view it as a throwaway item because no one is going to touch it with a bargepole second hand and I don't think many people will part with £5k for a disposable bike when for a few hundred quid more you can buy the Honda XADV 350 which will be a superior machine in every way and have solid residual value.
