update as at April 2023: the Outlaw is £3099OTR, the Hoodlum is £2899OTR. They're essentially the same bike, with a few cosmetic differences, and the Outlaw having lower bars, pegs instead of boards, and 1 more horse.

You did a really good job of reviewing this bike, I was sort of expecting you to diss it as you are now a Harley rider and have moved on but fair dues, you remain very enthusiastic for what's clearly a great looking little bike for the beginner

I've been debating between the Sinnis Hoodlum and the Outlaw for a while now and I'm so torn; how would you say they compare to each other?

Thanks for the review! Sinnis motorcycles really do seem interesting. How would you think they compare to the old japanese 125 cruisers like the virago, intruder, dragstar, marauder and shadow? I'm about to get my CBT and can't decide between spending a bit more to get a new one or go for a used japanese. I'm 33 years old so just starting out, but long term project would be to get a bigger bike once I have more experience and a full license Thanks a lot in advance!

The engine sounds a little thin, but it's a 125 ... I'm considering the Outlaw vs the Hyosung Aquila 125 (a twin cylinder), which has 14 bhp, ... but I like the Sinnis body, speed counter dial and led gearing display too.

Great design - Kind of Sportster tribute bike. And when looking for design inspiration, why not bring out the world's perhaps most famous motorcycle profile... Sinnis Outlaw! It's a good name for a cool bike.

I rented a Sinnis RSX a few times when I was learning - really enjoyed it. Nice handling, and fast enough as long as I stayed away from the A27. But the rear brake master cylinder did fall apart while I was riding. I should have mentioned it to the MD (I think he lives on our road) 🙄 The Zontes zt125g1 is probably a better bike - faster, more toys, and better built. Sitting on it, it feels more solid than a Sinnis. But £500 more? If I was buying a 125, I’d probably pay the extra.

I beg to differ on the power output, these low power outputs are common for low tune chinese engines, but the Japanese machines tend to be much nearer to the UK legal max power for the 125 cc of 14.75bhp personally I think any 125 with less than 12 bhp is dubious!

You get what you pay for, I am sure Chinese bikes are fine given that the Chinese ride them with no problems. However a lack of a proper dealer network in the UK means parts are a problem which mean they are not easy to resell. Plus Chinese bikes simply clone older engines so will always be lagging behind on performance. Must admit they are spot on in terms of design.

I've had to replace the battery, and the head gasket, and it runs just fine with either completely buggered. Easy to push start without a battery, and the head gasket just made black bubbles in the coolant and a lot of pressure. My oldest bike is a 1972 Hercules, also a 2-stroke, and it starts right up every summer. Just get the mixture perfectly right, don't buy cheap heads/pistons, don't engine brake in non-oil injected machines, get a damn thermometer that actually works, and generally treat them like you should, and they're brilliantly simple machines. Valves are devices that keep air from leaving tyres.

That's on the rare occasion when he's come in on it - it's usually broken.
