Which 125cc maxi scooters would you put in your top 3? Let us know! 👌

[@dansavage2725]

Just for a normal cbt by chance did you need a theory test before the test ?

[@Scape974]

i have a Longjia XDV125, wich is basically a lexmoto XDV125, different branding, same scoot no idea why xD i have it since mid february, only 1000km on it, but a really nice feel and very stable, the only weakpoint is the 11.2hp engine, wich with my 130kg + the 130kg of the scoot itself, is having a hard time on sloped terrain xD got it for 3995 euros i really recommand it for begginers that want a bit of style!

[@OfficialJGorman]

Honda Forza 125 all day long. Fast, solid and greasy fun to ride.

[@JohnMumford-gl5yx]

I ride Honda Forza 125 and l found it very good,, l did try Bungman 125, but it was too low and heavy also not good on Petrol, Forza very good on long distant, which l use a lot for.

[@markthompson6278]

I also have the Forza 125 which i love and I think the only scooter that comes close is the Yamaha Nmax. I will be upgrading to the 350 or the Honda ADV 350 once i get my full licence.

[@andrewstorm8240]

But it’s a little expensive but agree best option

[@1zanglang]

The Forza 125 should be in top 3, along with XMax 125, and SYM ADX125, which you failed to unclude. Its versatility, and rear suspension, makes it perhaps the best 125.

[@luiscosta3520]

What is the top speed of the sym adx125? Btw the xmax on the top 3? Is a Nmax with the frame of a Xmax only 12hp

[@victorkozlow5259]

​​@@luiscosta3520 Nmax is copy cat of Honda Pcx basicly but with lower horse power of I think 7 or 9 horse power (restricted top speed 90km/h)

[@luiscosta3520]

@@victorkozlow5259 nop the nmax and xmax had the same motor and got 12.2hp (9kW)/8000 r/min.

[@GNO1]

Great video, thanks, when will your kymco x Town vidéo be released ? I was literally going to to pull the trigger on one tomorrow and would like to see your video

[@kierenrainey3686]

Forza outweighs all off these maxi scooter how you don’t put it in top 3 is unbelievable !

[@1zanglang]

How? It's simple: it is a way to draw viewers rections, which means more comments, more views for his shitty video.

[@PhotKyar]

Can you do a review on the sym cruisym 125? I'm really interested in buying but can't find any review of the UK version

[@johnxanthoulis1233]

vfm ,sporty ,agile ,light ,swift and low cost of services is the zontes m125.The riding is excellent with plethora of information from steering and overall sense as a rider. Taro defender 125 is a genuine vfm adv ,powerful and ground clearance with very good tires,.consumption is an issue .with small wheels for mild off road use only.Honda is the luxury one it costs twice or 1/3 over the price of most scooters but it handles excellent.The costs of services are most economical (and the fuel consumption) due to the esp+ engine that surpassed all engines at the category. nice job,see you again

[@craigfryer7167]

Recommendations please. I'm 6ft 2 and weigh 266lbs/19stone. I am a first time rider, usually i am the pavilion. I need a scootet that has room for another passenger. Great storage space, great value for money. What woul you recommend?

[@claudecassar8087]

I'm thinking to buy the Kymco Skytown 125.... Any suggestions and feedbacks?

[@kevinmurtagh3434]

Which handle the best?

[@elmulakke]

top 3 for me: yamaha x-max 125, zontes zt125-m and aprilia sr gt 125

[@nyarkoyeboahelvis3502]

I own nexus but hasn’t have issues at all, great scooter

[@Toebaksworld]

The Honda Forza 125 comes in belgium with a 5 year waranty, this is for me an extra selling point

[@pandepugon]

1 forza 2 dtx 3 xtown

[@allgoo1990]

Are they reliable? What are maxi scooters? I'm looking for a reliable transportation.

[@Qu.Z.]

Forza number one

[@BikeMatters]

Top seller for that reason, for many!

[@luiscosta3520]

​@@BikeMattersyes but do to euro5 the top speed os limited to 108kph, and the xmax have the nmax 12hp engine so I didn't get why is on top 3

[@drramtop1576]

Yes it's a Lexmoto, but the XDV 125 looks very good. Would love to see a review of that one.

[@BikeMatters]

It does look great, and would certainly be well worth a review to see how it is on the road (and off-road!)

[@charlieboyvespa8610]

Sym.Great bikes but awfully poor residual values

[@alanhayward6719]

If people took a minute to stop and think about the resale value, most of these scooters wouldn't be on this list.

[@noelhanna6432]

'It's a better motorcycle. It's a Honda'. said my motorcycle instructor.

[@user-uk7ji1qt2y]

I have the joymax it's excellent

[@willmc9668]

Forza #1

[@stephensteptoe4686]

Suzuki burgman 125 I've had several of these,very nippy, lots of under seat storage, Unfortunately Suzuki stopped production in 2020 so I'm told,

[@owenwint21]

Number 3 all day long xmx 125

[@volt8684]

Work for Sym.?

[@BikeMatters]

No

[@victorkozlow5259]

For me all up horse power and top speed so I see only Honda Forza racing 130km/h with just 15 horse power and downhill it might squeeze 160km/h alternatively Yamaha Xmax I assume also the same speeds regardless of being 12hp

[@luiscosta3520]

No more. Is limited to 108kph due to euro5.

[@adriandja-plusteague1401]

See the Pcx isn't on the list,why because its perfect.

[@mrmoon1482]

I own the burgman and xmax 125cc Both euro 4, Euro 5 have ruined the xmax it now has the low power nmax engine fitted, it’s about 20mph slower than the old one,

[@adriandja-plusteague1401]

PCX,,and the Sr GT..

[@user-tg2es6ru6n]

I own the nexus, its shocking nothing but issues.

[@rudikeegan]

I took XMax for a test ride and it was inferior to my 2016 Kymco 125 GTi People. Thank God I bought the Forza , far superior in every way apart from looks . Forza 125 is by a country mile the number 1 . I only want one scooter so couldn't give a Rats Ass about the rest of the ratings .

[@michaeljameslawrence2965]

Lexmoto should not be on there because the dealerships lie about being qualified to work on them and then when they break the bikes and do not take responsibility or honour your consumer rights, I had two of these bikes and this happened twice to me, Lexmoto do not even offer the technician training anymore so the guys working with these bikes are cow boys and you will spend the same you would on a more well established brand on solicitors fees. All of the dealerships are the same just ask them for qualifications and they will lie to you like they did with me! They are ruining their own brand which is criminal which is a shame as I found the bikes were actually really good and probably looked the best of the bunch.

[@user-uk7ji1qt2y]

Can't even get a single helmet under any seat

[@kevinmanaloto306]

I can't agree you call 125 scooters 'Maxi-Scooters".. then again you call the Honda XADV a Maxi scooter also. As much as your content is relevant I find it rather disconcerting.

[@GaryFÓBrien]

Agree but what constitutes a ‘maxi’ scooter? I thot it meant larger/largest capacity machines so 125’s don’t count as ‘maxi’ (?)

[@user-ye6hh4ez6b]

Not enough info to read, price....
