BULLIT Bluroc 125 REVIEW & TEST

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

That's a lot of fun for the money. And Bullit makes some very high quality bikes using Japanese engines. Two thumbs up from me.

[@Alexmaystudio]

I must say, it had been a while since I rode a 125... I ride a 1200 right now but recently bought the wife a Hanway Raw 125 and I’ve taken it out a few times and it’s so much fun. So manoeuvrable and light. Just right for town and country lanes. Not a patch on the 1200’s speed but it gets more smiles per hour, and that’s what it’s about really for some of us.

[@keithbill310]

does the wife like it ????

Loved the video as this is one bike I am really I interested in. But I was wondering if you have any plans for a full road test in near future. Wish you all well and safe.

We will do a head to head road ride before long.

[@Mark-uo1oo]

Great review as always! These bikes from overseas are getting better and better 👍

[@MrJmawiseman]

Nice bike. Talking of value, I bought a brand new brixton from a dealer a month ago for 1499 on the road (cafe racer version). Cheap doesn't always mean cack 👍.

[@grahamebradford1028]

I saw one one in my local dealers today and was impressed, so I bought it. I hope it lives up to expectations when its ready for collection.

[@alex-E7WHU]

How is it going mate, all good..?

[@grahamebradford1028]

Hi Alex. I bought the bluroc without having a test ride. It looked good and the lights and brakes were good however it didn't live up to expectations so after 600 miles I sold it. Build quality poor with shocking welds, fuel tank badly fitted headlight not fitted correctly, rear wheel spokes becoming corroded, gearbox whined in 3rd and 4th gears, wheels out of alignment etc. I bought it purely for pleasure but it didn't live up to expectations so it had to go. I have since bought a Mash Roadstar 500 which I am very happy with.

[@alex-E7WHU]

@@grahamebradford1028 thanks Grahame, excellent review.👍

[@lokilape]

I am so excited to finally have my own on Saturday. It wasn't my first choice as I really loved the Herald Brat 125 more. Hope I will love it eventually. ❤❤❤

[@BrunoOliveira-cj7sh]

I'm a big fan of the scrambler type that bullit made with the hero, never too fond of the hunt but man, that sounds good! Would love to see bullit go full dirt track model with those colors!

[@ARSVivendiEnterprisesMemmingen]

keep up these 125 reviews, really interesting. Been taking more of an interest, because I would like to get one of these retro 125 scrambler bikes for my wife, plus a nice change for my commute to work (only 20kms each way). Lack of dealers here in Southern Germany will probably decide what we get. Mash Black Seven and Brixton BX125 seem to be available nearby here in Southern Germany. Please compare these if you get the chance. I wish Bullitt had some German dealers, but there are absolutely none :(

[@youriyimmek7767]

I would stay away from mash, brixton seems more reliable.

[@motorsforthemasses]

@@youriyimmek7767 rarely get issues with Mash...apart from them having no importer at this moment in time...

Still undecided been this one, a year old Mutt or even the Sinnis Bomber. Really enjoyed your honest review.

[@williamthomas5223]

I looked at all those bikes too the bomber looks nice but the riding position dose not suit me and the one I looked at the weld on the frame was a bit naff the mutt is over priced so went for the bullit

[@GO-fd6rm]

I’d love to see some more videos on the Bluroc, now that you can ride around with it!

[@frasermcqueen6406]

Why they stop putting kickstarts on these?? I reckon this could be up there with AJS Tempest Scrambler if it did... great vid as usual 👍🏻

[@Reinemachefrau]

The only other bike I can think of in a similar vein is the Herald Rambler at £2700+OTR. Will you boys be reviewing that in a 3-way scrap with the AJS and Bullit? What a video that would be!

[@mathikumar3204]

Great review

[@fabyanarridwan1109]

I like this simple and small enggine

[@ar3fali]

that yellow-golden with black stripes looks great. my issue with such bikes is the mechanical reliability. i have extensively driven a bike that has a Suzuki GS 150 replica air-cooled engine and after half an hour of riding, the gearbox starts acting up (hard shifting and neutral disappears). so in that copy/pasting, something gets lost and you can feel that after few weeks/months of ownership. maybe this particular bike doesnt have any such problem, but it has been noticed in some of these replica engines at least where i live (Pakistan).

[@charleskay1663]

i was impressed by its looks but i am so much more impressed by its price was thinking just short of 3k but 2n abit thats a very good price for a proper looking small motorcycle

[@CZ350tuner]

Between the 1970 and 1990 there were only 7 motorcycle manufacturers producing 125cc bikes: Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, CZ, Bennelli and MZ, all of which UK bikers recognised as household names. In the 1990's this briefly increased to 8 with Cagiva, who took over CZ, went bust and sold CZ to MV Augusta. Then came the 21st Century's Chinese 125cc motorcycle industry explosion!! Now there are innumerable motorcycle manufacturers producing 125cc bikes, most of which nobody has heard of.

[@andrewmillard5326]

Nice colour on this bike the yellow/ goldie really pops. Hope Malcolm is ok 😋

[@philsguitars9508]

I've had a Bullit Hunt S for just over 3years and only done 1500 miles. Within the first week the there was no electric power, requiring upgrading to a decent fuse holder for £3. The speedo packed up and had to be replaced. The rear brake reservoir leaked and was replaced. One side of the front dampers is leaking. It's very difficult to select neutral and, sometimes jumps out of neutral into gear. A screw has come out of the new speedo face and, can't be accessed to put back, as it is a sealed unit. And now the ignition switch has packed up so, no power and, will need to be replaced. I love the look of the bike and, when it's working, it's good to ride but, as for reliability, it's very poor. Luckily I don't rely on the bike for transport - I bought it purely for 'pleasure'. I've also got a 60 year old BSA BANTAM - never gives me trouble.

[@-wiggy6197]

Great videos really helpful. But now a dilemma! My first motorbike at 57, but which. AJS Tempest Scrambler 125 or the Bullit Bluroc 125 and save a couple of £100. How to decide? Any further pointers and which is most comfy for a longer ride (I'm nearly 6ft & 13.5 st). This would be my fun hobby bike but will need to have good road manners more on than off road...then again it is for fun and I do live in the South Downs... cannot even go and sit on any Agrrgh.

[@ericdenau2223]

A very cool bike! But the engine squeels and I hate that sound, some engines do and some engines do not. My own experience is that those squeeling ones they have less perfomance and it will stay that way, on a hot summer day a "squeeler" will squeel worse than ever. Before you buy one run thru some bikes and lissen to the engine, some minor squeeling belongs but a consistent turbin wining that is not good.

[@andrewbreslin273]

Is there enough room for a passenger or will it be a tight squeeze? Quite fancy the bike in the military green/tan myself

[@motorsforthemasses]

That very much depends on the size of the rider and passenger. Yes, but to be comfortable, you should not be rotund lol

[@davidjones535]

The sad thing is that bikes like Bullit , Mutt ,and some of the other you mentioned are hard as hell to find here in the States and that's if there here at all .

[@motorsforthemasses]

That is because the rules on age are so soft in USA you lucky gits. 125 on a car license and full test means you can pretty much ride what you like so I imagine the demand for 125 is just not big enough as people serious about bike will go for min 600

Could you help? Today my bluroc started losing power. It started off mild but got worse over 30 mins. It then started cutting out. It would start OK but power would come and go. Got worse while riding home and was cutting out every time I stopped and struggled to go 10mph. Now it cuts off soon after starting up, throttle barely revs. Seems like fuel issue. Could this be the fuel injector? Only done 500 miles and recently been serviced

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hard to diagnose without seeing it. Could be a kink in the fuel line, blocked filter, injector, ECU error? Take it back to the dealer you bought it from.

[@mocochoco]

@@motorsforthemasses thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I'm the second owner and the dealer is very far away. The bike won't stay running for more than a few seconds now anyway. I've heard the injector needs cleaning and apparently it's a common fault early on. I'm going to have to try and do it myself but the manual is atrocious and there's little to no information out there. I guess this is the risk when buying unknown bikes.
