HANWAY SCRAMBLER 125 REVIEW | Best Budget Scrambler?

[@rosslevitates]

Cheap as chips! I reckon you could sell them by the handful to your local school. Funny, but it has a Steampunk look about it! Just the ticket for your next Steampunk Parade…..

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha yeah mate! Thatd be good! Theyd fit right in!

[@johnmartin7158]

The 1st bike I ever rode on the road in the early 70s was a Honda 125. Was fun. So I agree with you that there is nothing wrong with small displacement bikes. How are you enjoying your new venture in life, Vinny.

[@roadblastmedia]

Thats awesome John too right little bikes are great fun! And loving it down here more and more every day!

[@rabfergy7155]

Good these bikes exist to allow young riders to start and older rider to possibly get a bike again just to bimble on country roads or get to work while saving on fuel. Cheap yes but I guess none of the dubious bits are so bad and can be replaced. Giving the owner a bit of personal touches. I guess as long as owners remember to not skimp on maintenance it will serve them well.

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah mate it feels like a very universal bike alot of the bits would be interchanged with other chinese models so parts would probably be plentiful and generic easy to work on and maintain, for the price point its a great little bike and perfect for a learner as if it gets dropped its not the end of the world plus very forgiving power

[@julianperry5141]

Cool little gravel road scratcher.

[@roadblastmedia]

Hard out! Haha lots of fun for the money

[@5ebra1]

Great bike for getting people into motorcycling. Love your enthusiasm. If I was 16 again instead of over 60 I would consider buying one.

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah mate perfect little learner bike!

[@ruahinesrider]

Hanway Scrambler be great for me up in the Rangers & rivers near me with lots of shingle roads.👍

[@ruahinesrider]

Farm Rego let's you go 50km from farm & I live on farm & is only $30-50 a year for farm vehicle rego.

[@roadblastmedia]

I think youve cracked the system bro! Its alot of bike for the money plus cheap rego and gas means mega savings in the long term for a commuter vehicle

[@ruahinesrider]

@@roadblastmedia Not as though I'm gana ride 75km to Hastings on Highway 🤣.

[@roadblastmedia]

@@ruahinesrider haha exactly bust out the 650 for that

[@daintree2455]

@@ruahinesrider and when u come over to auzzi nice and light so just put it in your carry on luggage. Perfect for Oz as well we only have tar seal roads around the edge and they are full of potholes, the rest goats tracks (no sheep) so nobbly tyres perfect.

[@melfzs]

Bought one for my missus to learn on ,she loves it , it's a great laugh on the English B roads, we'll probably keep it even after she's passed her test, I've fitted Avon roadrider tyres on it , it handles way better on the tarmac !👌 It always gets looked at at traffic lights and when ever we're parked up somewhere, it looks like a proper bike , it gets as much attention as my Interceptor!😂😂

[@roadblastmedia]

Thats awesome mate! Cheers for the comment!

[@melfzs]

You're welcome mate, we enjoy your lively channel and commentary 👍

[@YOLOSWAG420EZ]

​@@melfzsthinking of getting one, how has it held up after a few months?

[@melfzs]

@@YOLOSWAG420EZ it's been fine and reliable appart from the ignition switch, the contacts inside the switch got a bit corroded , so I had to dismantle the switch and clean the contacts and spray it with WD40 problem solved . As for the rest of the bike just keep it clean and apply a decent aerosol protectant on it after washing it , Servicing is easy just tappets and oil change to keep it running sweet . Oh also if you don't use it regularly keep the battery charged up 👍 Hope this is helpful Cheers 🍻

[@YOLOSWAG420EZ]

​@@melfzsthanks for the quick reply! Ill definitely take a look as I'm loving the look of these little scramblers and Id want something cheap and cheerful for first bike

[@strollbaby]

Cool, like the styling: is very old school. Looking for something cheap, and light, just to ride to the shops and maybe the beach, that I won't be too gutted about wrecking, lol. Just to ride till I feel like something bigger, while going through learners and restricted. Looks great - small power and weight upgrade from mountain biking - an easy to handle and forgiving starter.

[@mfpun-nz]

Cool video dude. Been looking forward to seeing your workshop

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate!

[@roadblastmedia]

Did a bit of a walk around in the shop on the himalayan video before this one

[@mfpun-nz]

@@roadblastmedia Awesome. Watching it now 😁

[@PineyRider]

Never heard of Hanway in the US and I'm not 100%, but I think linked brakes on two wheelers are not legal here. Definitely wouldn't want that off road!!😬 $3,500 NZD Google says is about $2,200 USD, so yeah, the price is right. I'd say it's a good scooter alternative or 1st bike for someone young, small or maybe a little timid. Delete the linked brakes and probably be a great stowaway campground bike too. On another note, I registered to get the opportunity to buy one of the 30 120th Anniversary Special Edition Interceptors being sent to the US. It happens 1:20 PM 25th August. 30 Interceptors and 30 Continental GTs. So wish me luck. I'll keep you informed.

[@roadblastmedia]

Well said tom! Yeah cant complain with a couple grand, and nice one!! Youll be sitting on a gold mine if you get it!

[@PineyRider]

@@roadblastmedia If I get one I'll be sitting on it having a wank!!!🤣

Only a few days away Tom I hope you win.Be good to see a mate with one.

Good little bike fer the money Vinnie ideal runaround and some good fun off road ideal for a learner for sure like it mate 👌👍

[@MauriceTarantulas]

My Zontes G1 can off road as well! That Hanway looks v nice though.

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate

[@colinclyde3819]

Certainly a nice looking little bike

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers Colin a cool little ride for the money!

[@Beanerds]

Great looking little bike , pity its not 250-300cc , 32 - 40 hp ? Again , cool video mate .

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah mate! I guess cf moto are the ones with the cheap as chips 300cc bikes this one would be so cool with a little twin in it or something but then the price would go up too high i think it sits nicely in the affordable but cool bracket

[@ericshepherd5672]

Hanway? is Andy out of the Big K brand now.. I saw you took the Triumph to work yesterday, I saw it sitting outside when I took a load of stuff out to the tip..

[@roadblastmedia]

He doesnt sell Kawasaki anymore this bike is just a one off the road bikes hes selling now are Cf moto another chinese brand but have merged with KTM so quality is very high

[@roadblastmedia]

Youll needa stop in some time mate

[@daintree2455]

Perfect kids first bike and it's green. Probably what I should have easy to pick up when I drop it. Ha ha.

[@roadblastmedia]

Ihard out i reckon its one of the best bikes to learn on cheap and light so it doesnt matter about a drop plus big knobbly tyres so they can practice on the grass! Cheers

[@daintree2455]

@@roadblastmedia agree then kids can ride them to school and when the police chase them the nobbly tires will allow kids to take to the bush and elude capture ha ha....probably much safer than mums,some pissed allegedly ,turning up in massive numbers in giant SUVs to pick kids up when school day finished. Bet u sell heaps of those little bikes.

[@britishseagull.6423]

That looks and sounds perfect do you have any 2023 stock for $3500 Vinnie?

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate no they upped the price we have a base model raw 125 for $3600 including on roads and the new model scrambler 125s are $4400 including on road costs

[@britishseagull.6423]

Is the RAW similar power output and style or entirely different? Are they 2022 models brand new? Thanks 😊

[@roadblastmedia]

@@britishseagull.6423 raw is a 23 model same power output but more basic tacho and cheaper suspension other than that theyre the same bike

[@birdman9102]

That’s the most traffic I have seen in any of your Oamaru videos. {Mama-bird}

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah was a busy day that day 😄

[@ccooper8785]

Wonder how it will stand up over time and how good the spares supply will be. I would not mind one as a back-up bike, but it appears to be the equivalent of 6000nzd in the UK !!!!!

[@roadblastmedia]

It would probably do alright as long as you looked after it seems like a solid little bike plus i wouldnt pay 6000 for it though its good value at 3500

[@ruahinesrider]

$3500nz is only about £1850-£1900. For £6000 buy a Royal Enfield.

[@onecookieboy]

I don't know, I love your enthusiasm for this oddball bike, but my thoughts are that you would have to be prepared to keep it and ride it into the ground, almost a disposable bike if you like, because it wouldn't have much resale value, then you have to ask yourself how long is it going to last for. IMHO, save a bit more money and get a Honda.

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah it is a bit of an odd ball and would be hard to resell as it is so cheap brand new anyway, parts are cheap and its very easy to maintain and work on being so bare bones id say if you looked after it well itd last a long while but yes saving a bit more and going for one of the big 4 would be the best idea in saying that this is perfect for someone who just wants a cool little cheap runner

[@pap0669]

I've been thinking of getting the 50cc version of the bike here in the netherlands. However, i am concerned about the seat and I'm wondering if it's possible to fit a passenger on it?

[@roadblastmedia]

You could fit two people on if you were both small but yes its a pretty small seat

[@JohnSmith-xw5qe]

I like the sound that's about it! ok ok the colour nice too! I bought a Honda CBF 125 FOR £2,300 UK! Far superior all round I use it for work Brilliant & cheap to run!

[@roadblastmedia]

That hondas great buying at 2300 this bike is only £1800 conversion from 3500 nzd so is very good value plus you get the big chunky tyres for some offroad madness! The honda will last longer though but i dont doubt with proper maintenence these little 125s would last a long while seems very solid for what it is

[@ruahinesrider]

£500 is $900nz so a bit more & $4400nz get a decent second hand 350-400cc on/off road bike but is great value & in NZ I'd say parts probably not to difficult to get being in the Asia Pacific trade region.

[@小海小]

Riders, I have a question to ask, how is the quality of this bike? Are there many small problems?

[@roadblastmedia]

The quality is good for a bike so cheap but there could be some small problems along the way if you dont look after it well

[@LifetimeBiker]

Looks like a great round town hack 👍🏻or Farm Bike except as mentioned below , Totally useless front mudguard !! , Definitely needs something better to stop the "Splatter Factor"🤣

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha too right mate! And ohwell it may be useless but it looks the part on this little ripper!

[@LifetimeBiker]

@@roadblastmedia Certainly does .... , Nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of home grown ingenuity. 👍🏻seems like a good deal for the $$ , I remember that you could get a Kawasaki KE250 out of Betts Motors in Westport for a little over $2K , Mind you that was 1980 !! 😂

Honda cb300r 6000 included on road cost， I just ordered one last week

@@roadblastmedia true， was going to get the meteor， but Honda's price nailed

@@roadblastmedia I really like the RE, hope I will get one before 45

[@christopher480]

you really should stop excusing things by saying its cheap what do you expect.....cuz honestly there are plenty of economically priced bikes that are not a piece of you know what......take a look at re's scram 411......miles better then that 1 and only a cpl dollars more........but hey since you are selling bikes, we already know not to trust you. good video though :)

[@roadblastmedia]

Damn bro thats harsh haha Ive reviewed tons of bikes and have had heaps of good things to say about the Himalayan. This bike is $4500nzd cheaper than a scram 411 so theres no comparison. This is the cheapest 125cc on the market in my country and its quite a good little bike for being the cheapest. Im all honesty with all my videos have a look at the other 100 ive made before you say you dont trust me 🤣

[@ggcckkkjjnhjikyyik3627]

Dude stop saying only 3500£, you said it like 20 time in a 13 minute video. Show the full speed and other important aspects of it instead of saying "you cant expect more its only 3500£". 3500£ is still alot of money for a 125cc.

[@roadblastmedia]

The price is the biggest selling point on this bike $3500 nzd is the cheapest new 125cc on the market here not a bad wee bike but obviously also nothing to write home about its good fun for the money thats it top speed is 100kmph

[@BB-zi5wi]

Nice design but I wouldn't spend more than 1.5k for this cheap built chinese...product even if money grew on trees

[@roadblastmedia]

They may be chinese but ive seen a couple with nearly 50,000kms on the clock and still going strong so i wouldnt say theyre unreliable by any means very simple engine to work on, parts are cheap and easy to get. Cant really go wrong. Mind if i ask what country youre from?
