2022 Sinnis GPX125 Review

[@lovegar]

Is it my imagination or is biking becoming very popular? There's a FB club up here in Scotland called Glasgow SLOW RIDERZ, loads of them and mostly on 125s a young peeps. It's great to see

[@LeytonC]

I am a member of it! Over in Fife we also have Fife Bikers 125 as well :D

[@RichyVida]

It is great to see! The thing is, these cheaper models are helping getting new riders on the road. Fantastic!

[@hayyoujimmy8560]

Graham just in proceed getting full das got 125 wrx fcking love scotland b roads excellent

[@hayyoujimmy8560]

I'm young in heart turning 40 this year wish I done it sooner

[@LeytonC]

@@hayyoujimmy8560 40 is young! I am way closer to 50 than 40... did my CBT last October. I think events of the last 2 years have focused people to do things they have always been promising to do.

[@NBMoto547]

Great little bike, the way fuel prices are going at the moment everyone will be riding 125s soon.

[@mikehorton8603]

Looks decent quality, however I think it will struggle against its zontes and lexmoto competition. Their latest bikes are liquid cooled and up to the 15hp limit more or less and better kitted out!

[@JDMz]

The most powerful lexmoto is the lsn that's only 13.7bhp. The lxr is 12.5bhp..

[@stevecambers3190]

Sinnis are great bikes, for the money & very reliable. The only issue I've seen, is that the age group who tend to own them, sometimes fail to look after them. E.g. Leaving them covered in road salt, allowing the drive chain to become unadjusted & solid with rust & falling off them quite a lot. This then leads to the common misconception of poor quality by those who fail to consider that if a BMW 1000RR was subjected to the life of the average Sinnis 125, it too might have its build quality brought into question...

[@RichyVida]

Totally understand that, Steve. I guess as a very first bike, you wouldn’t necessarily know how important that bit is, yet. 👍

[@jamesweber4938]

@@RichyVida I blame it on not passing on the knowledge. We have babied our kids and shown them how to do very little. Another reason is it has become a throw away world. Use something till it breaks then buy another one. Kids today are a very different breed than those that were brought up when money was scarce.

[@michaelinkster4977]

@@jamesweber4938 That’s true - we used to oil, polish and apply Vaseline to our chromed areas on our bicycles when young and we always dried them off when wet. A bicycle was a big ticket item then.

[@donaldhall428]

Richy get the guys back together and another weekend away on small cc motorcycle

[@michaelpowsey]

only if we can all ride with you on 125s lol

[@bobholley6202]

Nice little bike! From a 1290 Super Adventure to the 125. That’s covering the entire spectrum brother!

[@dalewintle9969]

Nice review Rich love the look and colour 👍🏻

[@bogusmyleene6989]

It will make somebody proud to own it I’m sure!

[@sparkatron9334]

Funny isn't it. A bike made for beginners (predominantly) has no rider aids. But a 600cc / 1000cc/ 1200cc etc tech filled bike built for a more experienced rider is full of modes to help him/her to control it. Great video. Sometimes i think i'm missing a trick when it comes to commuting, i should be looking at these bikes and similar a lot more. Especially with today's fuel prices.

[@RichyVida]

Never thought of it like that! Should be the other way around, hey!

[@sjhoover41]

Nice lookin’ bike. Thanks for reviewing all kinds of bikes.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thats a cracking little bike for any A1 licence holder to own:)

[@ianjames3218]

Mr V, as always, a bloody great review of a nice looking bike. Any false neutrals in it??? My Orcal Astor I keep in France has same 'safety' feature with the stand. Annoying cos I always forget every year when go back to it 🤭🤭. I have absolutely loads of yours to catch up on, which I will do. For all NCIS fans, 'on it boss'.

[@bikerbuddy3166]

Just finished a bit of testing on a 125 and I must admit I did have fun 🤩 plenty of SPH (SMILES PER HOUR ) another good watch keep up the good work 😎🙏🏍🇬🇧🏍

[@RichyVida]

Cheers mate. Defo have a meet up. Could listen to your testing stories all day!

[@bikerbuddy3166]

@@RichyVida lol remind me to tell you about the time I had to dress a naked Gary Johnson 😂😂 it would most definitely be my pleasure to meet up , was hoping to get to your wildbad weekend this year but unfortunately can’t make it fingers crossed 🤞 for next year 🙏

[@highlandriders9696]

Sinnis bikes are great and their newest designs are definitely turning heads. For the first time riders or those who have short in town commutes what more do you need.

[@KeithHodgkinson]

Great vid, this would be a great commuter.Cheers.

[@pinball2002]

Would love to see a review on the Honda NT1100.

[@uonlyliveonce]

My first bike at 16 was a blue & white brand new Suzuki RG80. i felt like the bees knees. It was clocked for 120kph and on a good day would do it. After coming from a push bike it was amazing. Unfortunatly after 3 months I crashed it and sold it for half what I had paid. Had to keep paying back the banck loan and was relegated back to the push bike. But that experience over 30yrs ago got me into biking and have enjoyed eevery moment since. Have to admit it was easier to get your licence back then, wherther that was a good or bad thing?

[@jamesweber4938]

A huge improvement in styling from the 125's of the 70's.

[@terrynicholson9273]

Perhaps, but in the 1980's we had RG125 Gammas and Yamaha RD125LC's

[@Andyc1300]

Good little vid richhy, we all had to start somewhere might be a good bike for the wife 😂😂😂

[@stephenpotts8170]

Looks like a cracking little first bike. See you was not tempted to do a Teapot and do a Scotland and back run on it ???

[@RichyVida]

I’m not mental! Not a chance ha

[@randomrides]

I think the bike looks good and would make most teenagers smile 🙂 well done riding it...I find it hard to go from a 1200 to a 125. They feel light and I'm wobbly 😂

[@RichyVida]

Yes there’s definitely a contrast!

[@robertdenton7897]

I think these modern 125s are fantastic compared with the BSA bantams and Frances Barnet’s of my youth!

[@debbieclegg2485]

👍 sounds likexa lad pleaser ! ... good small bike info review RV (NO POOP!😁!)

[@Wats1984]

Nice looking 125. Not seen any on the road as of yet.

[@JasonJohnson-yu8zf]

Looks nice but it's definitely lacking in speed, my mt125 hits 70 with my 16stone sat on it

[@ianpizey586]

Obviously it's carborated, how do you let it warm up if you can't put the side stand down ? Are you sure there's not a fault on it, because that doesn't make sense for a manufacturer to design it like that. Wouldn't be a problem if it was fuel injected, but I can't imagine it is for a cheapy like that.

[@bigkev8949]

Possibly one of the most ``exciting`` vibey bikes you`ve ridden for a while lol

[@bren106]

When people have the idea of getting a bike I'd imagine a lot will go on youtube to find out more. Good that you, and other big channels, are putting this stuff out. Is the tingly bollocks thing in with the price or an optional extra?

[@RichyVida]

Something you’ll need to check upon purchase “tell me, does this come with the special tingles?” Haha

[@ride2survive335]

What a looker

[@nealharris2574]

Always wondered why 125s don't use the 15BHP learner limit? They've been 10-12 bhp for donkey's years!

[@5tevieb954]

I’ve got an XSR 125 that his 14.8 I think

[@JasonJohnson-yu8zf]

Mt125 is around the limit

[@5tevieb954]

@@JasonJohnson-yu8zf yeah you’re right- same engine as mine

[@ernieschatz3783]

A tingler bike!

[@willwye410]

A Sinnis 125 with good brakes? I'll believe that when Bruce Smart says it! And advocating using only the rear linked brakes is potentially dangerous. It only operates one of the 3 front calliper pistons so does not give best braking performance.......and best braking performance is not something to be ignored, especially for a new CBT rider. And what happens if they've learned this bad habit and then progress to a bigger bike with conventional unlinked brakes?

[@RichyVida]

🤦‍♂️

[@n0rthernl1ght18]

Sorry Mum.

[@andrewpitt621]

@@RichyVida defo advocated it, i obvs clearly heard you say i reccomend only using the rear brake (sarcasm for those who cant not tell), something tells me they didnt really listen or watch,

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I’m a bit gutted I’m 6’2” and 15 stone! Pretty sure I’d just look like Ruben Xaus!

[@JasonJohnson-yu8zf]

Try an mt125, it's taller than the street triple I have and will still hit 70+ with my 16st

[@bigwill4423]

Cool lookin' little bike though I personally wasn't keen on the colour of the one you were testing (I'd deffo go for the black alternative but that's just me personally). Exhaust note sounds quite "fruity" which will no doubt please all those potential young boy racers . The linked brakes are definitely a bonus for the novice rider and not something you expect to see on a bike at that price point. Hope your "bits" have recovered from the "massaging" at high revs.......if not, you can always get a job as a boy soparano with the Vienna boys choir! lol Great vid, keep em coming and here's to the next one! P.S. Did you manage to avoid that dog turd?😲😲😲

[@RichyVida]

Haha luckily! 😂

[@WheelsNotHeels]

You can make any bike look appealing. Not my cup of tea, although you did mention the good vibrations? LMAO..."my balls are tingling" Anyway, omg, the dog turd comment just about made me spew my coffee. hahahaha! But what a gorgeous countryside you live in; that was so pretty. Didn't really watch this to hear about the bike; I watched because I knew I'd get a good belly laugh, and I did! Thanks, Richy!!!

[@RichyVida]

Haha thanks for that, Wheels! Nice that some people notice these little things! That’s why I put ‘em in! 👍👍😍

[@apox5308]

Nice bike, still faster than an M3

[@kot2460]

have this as my first bike, carbon black one tho

[@RichyVida]

Great bikes! Enjoy it 👍

[@JackkClarke]

Do you still own it? I'm eyeing the GPX 125 up but can't decide! Being told to avoid Chinese based bikes but the 7 year parts warranty is tempting

Thanks for the reply! I'm tempted to order it! Currently can't decide between this, a Sinnis GPX 125 or KTM RC 125 GP (as its currently £1700 off)@@kot2460 didn't expect it to be so hard to decide ha.

[@RichyVida]

Which bit?

[@Ravan_Caw]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@waynedl99]

FAR too expensive for a 125 and a Sinnis one at that :o And, 'linked brakes' should only work from the front brake lever, not the rear, that's a poor design considering you're taught to use the rear brake on your 'turn in the road' etc during training, not your front brake lol.

[@roadracer42]

Can't help but feel linked brakes are a bad way to learn how to ride, teaches no feel for braking at all.....wouldn't be legal in NZ as now all new bikes must have ABS.......hello fuse.....yoink 🤣

That’s why I went for an XSR125- it has ABS instead
