2022 SINNIS Akuma 125 Review

[@quinnpeaksbiker]

really interesting how there is a good selection of 125s coming through on the budget, they seem to really improve every year and less of a gap between big brands! thanks for sharing and really interesting bike 😊🖖🏼🖖🏼 one of the best reviewers on KZbin 👍🏼👍🏼

[@exeterrider]

🙏Thank you kindly. I did enjoy this 125. Is be very happy to own this bike myself. Its a fun ride. And at £2600, it's a entry level price.... Very good for the money.

[@AndyGSATractor]

I need to look twice at some 125's they look like bigger bikes

[@exeterrider]

@@AndyGSATractor yes I know what you mean there 👍

[@JW-ym5yb]

I think it’s great that you’re reviewing bikes like the Akuma. It’s what I call a “door opener” bike for folks getting into motorcycles or a great bike for someone who just wants something to run around on.

[@exeterrider]

Absolutely And these days there aren't really many door opener bikes out there when you consider most 125s start at over 4k these days....new young riders don't stand a chance really, but these bikes here are ideal!!

[@pauldobson8678]

Great review. Looking for a cheap second bike and found a brilliant deal on a tnt 125. But even for me as a smallish slight fella, I think I'd feel daft riding the Benelli. Your reviews have been invaluable. Thanks for your effort. Gave you a thumbs up and watch your videos regularly.

[@exeterrider]

Thats brill Paul, Thanks for watching....this akuma is a cool little bike. Username Kate has it at the moment, I think she may have bought it.. Dealerships are too spread out but overall a cool little bike....better than the TNT and more comfortable.

[@jimsadler8704]

It's amazing what manufacturers can wrap around a small engine nowadays, ER. My lawnmower is 125cc and it grumbles if the grass is a bit long. Great review as usual.

[@exeterrider]

Yes but you didn't have to pass your big bike test to use it Jim. 🤣😉Thanks 👍

[@jimsadler8704]

@@exeterrider Very true, ER.

[@KODEGREY]

Certainly not your typical 125. Looks more like a 250 or 300 class bike. New riders will probably really like this... especially for that price! Good video Exeter!!

[@exeterrider]

🙏👍🍻

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Great review ER. It sounds like Sinnis have pretty much nailed it with the Akuma. I agree it looks better than the Honda Grom.

[@exeterrider]

Yeap, I think it's pretty damn good. Is happily own one for bombing around Exeter. Thanks 👍🍻

[@TheRhythmicBiker]

Always sunny? We’ll see about that in a couple weeks 😅 Personally I think it looks a great bike to learn on, get on it young, learn the trade, it’s not perfect but to me that’s the point, it’ll help the rider appreciate the more refined bigger bikes when they move up the engine sizes. I still love the look of the exhausts, bloody awesome 🤘 There’s a lot of 125’s on the market nowadays, bloody hard to choose from, but I’m sure these reviews are definitely helping those in the market. Another great review buddy, keep up the good work 🤘 Stay safe mate

[@exeterrider]

Your right it did rain back in 1985 once. Thanks RB, I have just as much fun on the littlens as I do on the biggens, but a lot cheaper to fill up!. Cheers dude🙏👍🍺

[@RhegedRideOuts]

Wow mate, remember that area very well, that footbridge before the commando training centre, I must’ve been over that fully loaded, so many times, I can’t count.

[@exeterrider]

Brill, I will go shower next time so you can soak it up. My mate Jamie Walker trained there too in 96 I think it was till he fell off the rope ladder and broke his back. Poor bugger

[@warrenr4]

I’m noticing the cost of these budget Chinese bikes are starting to creep up. The price difference between them and the Japanese is narrowing. Taking into account the overall ownership experience Japanese bikes still make more sense to me. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed the content 🙂👍🏻

[@exeterrider]

Thanks, yes they are creeping up but I don't noticing the gap closing myself. I just feel they are going up together tbh👍🍻

[@ccooper8785]

I would not mind a shot on one of these; partly to see if it would make a good 2nd bike but mostly to see if my 6'4'' would fit. 👍👍👍

[@exeterrider]

It would fit OK I think looking from the outside but you may feel a bit silly on it. 👍

[@Tinatime532]

I'll put him on the rack C Cooper! Give it a few turns and stretch him a bit 😜😉🤣 Might be able to see then! 😂

[@ccooper8785]

@@exeterrider TBH I look pretty stupid on (or off) any bike. You should have seen me when I owned a Fiat 126 and a Mini 1000....

[@exeterrider]

I would have liked to have seen that 😂👍

[@cm1_g766]

@@exeterrider probably a bit late for this comment but my mate is 6ft 8 and he rode mine and he said it feels great and he doesn’t look stupid on it at all.

[@AndyGSATractor]

Great review as always sir

[@exeterrider]

Thanks Andy👍🍻

[@1990-t1j]

Nice-looking bike, but as I've said so may times, if it was a 150/160, it would be so much better. And with 15'' wheels.

[@exeterrider]

👍🙏🍻

[@clangerbasher]

When you are filtering can you go the other side of traffic islands if there is nothing on the other carriage way? Don't know why just wondering.

[@exeterrider]

Ask away anytime. No you can't pass a "keep left" arrow sign. In practice, the cars normally see you and hold back so you can get past them and the island.

[@clangerbasher]

@@exeterrider I am having to relearn all this Highway Code business. I have discovered my knowledge of 'road law' is distinctly thread bear since I have started two wheeling. I am driving around more through habit than by knowledge. Thank you for replying.

[@exeterrider]

@@clangerbasher I am in the same boat...I recently got myself a speeding ticket due to not knowing the speed limit when I was in my van on the Dual carrigeway . Video coming!

[@clangerbasher]

@@exeterrider It is hard work out there on the roads.

[@exeterrider]

@@clangerbasher Often overcomplicated liek they are trying to trip people up it feels sometimes!

[@Leon-Jordan]

I've managed to get my akuma to 70 but i do weigh 13 stone (70 is where is bangs on the rev limiter in 5th for me)

[@exeterrider]

Thats good going. Well done : )

[@lilynorthover8378]

It sounds like a good little bike but it's not really my cup of tea. However, I've been told March 2023 for a Honda Monkey 2022.😩 I have some other bikes to enquire about but I may have to revise what I want.

[@exeterrider]

Yes I think its the same for many bikes and brands at the moment Lilly.... Was it October you were doing your CBT? If you have time to meet then a 10 minute coffee is on me ,but I know time may be tight and you will have a lot on your mind.....

[@lilynorthover8378]

Yes it's October. I could meet up on the 26 th September preferably but any day that week bar Sunday. If our " I don't like talking on the phone" phone call is anything to go by, I doubt it'll be 10 minutes 😂 I value your input.

[@exeterrider]

@@lilynorthover8378 pencil in the 26th and see how we're both fixed at the time 👍

[@lilynorthover8378]

Will do ✏️

[@exeterrider]

Lilly do you still have my number ? drop me a text if you do....if not drop me a mail exeterrider@hotmail .com for meeting if your still down this way. cheers
