Hi! I'm Chris I have been working as a mechanic for cheap bikes for 6 years already. I have created this channel to share my experience and give you valuable insider advice. I can help you choose a perfect bike on a budget.
I know from my experience you could go and pay £4000 for a lovely Japanese bike or you could pay £2000 for something of similar quality.
What people don't know that most small-capacity Japanese bikes are actually made in China. You can check it out for yourself.

Excellent video Chris. Most detailed one I’ve seen for this bike yet. Covered everything and really good that you have mentioned the safety issue with the tyres. Most new riders may not even realise that

[@Ridingreviews]

This is why i do them on myself if i do them in so i can say if i have concerns i do try to help as best as i can

[@mancunianboy2576]

Great video on this bike, I appreciate your honesty and the safety advice, keep going with the channel it's great

[@Ridingreviews]

viewers support makes it worth wile

[@MoroMagrew]

A sharp looking bike, which I think is the main attraction of this bike. I wonder if that issue you mentioned about the tank shape varies from person to person depending on leg length or body type? Just goes to prove your advice, potential buyers should go have a sit on it. Thanks for the lowdown on the details!

[@Ridingreviews]

I'm sure it is me and my body shape i used to compete in east midlands strongest man so muscular it could be that it is my opinion and people can chose weather or not to Liston but i would always recommend sitting on one before you buy

[@rodintoulouse3054]

Loved the little hand held camera!

[@Ridingreviews]

Working on it getting better all the time

[@Ridingreviews]

I think it is a change of cdi on that

[@Fleetstreetbestone]

Hi there, great video very informational and I like your honesty. I’m thinking of buying this bike when I turn 17 as I am saving up with my job, but I’m more leaning towards using it as a commuting bike. Is this ok or should I opt for another bike?

[@Ridingreviews]

It is fine for that the main difference between a commuter and a non comuter is the riding position

[@UndisclosedGamer1]

Good video just could do with better editing. A lot of dead spots and times when your trying to think of what to say next. It would improve your video quality massively I think.

[@Ridingreviews]

Im still learning aparNtly the most recent one is my best on the zontes zt125g1

[@mxbx307]

I'm thinking about taking up motorcycling and this looks like a good starter bike for someone like me once I reach the licence requirements. I'd actually never heard of Lexmoto before. Have seen a couple parked up around here and they do look awesome, particularly the sharp lines. Also love the colour schemes. If this one is too tall (I'm 5ft8) then I'd consider one of the smaller rmodels they seem to do.

[@Ridingreviews]

I am 5ft 9 I can ride them fine I'm sure you will be the same

[@JS-vr4wo]

Great video, Turning 17 in September and looking into getting this bike, unfortunately I’m 6’6 do you recon I will fit on the lxr comfortably 😂

[@Ridingreviews]

The only problem you may mave is getting your legs under the tank i think you need to go and sit on one but these are big bikes

[@darrenwoollard1592]

Hi, I have a lXR 125cc black and gold and I’m having problems with getting it to start. It’s turning over but won’t fire up. Any ideas? Thanks

[@Ridingreviews]

Side stand or kill switch

[@superbob4058]

what 10w40 motor oil do you recommend for it?

[@Ridingreviews]

Liqid moly is good

[@ak47miah]

Great video! Does anyone know why this bike is listed at around £3100 everywhere. Has there been major updates or something. As this video states £2699

[@Ridingreviews]

Sadly prices have gone up now due to inflation

[@taiocane2634]

How tall are you, because I don't know if I'll be able to reach the floor, and is it worth the extra £400 or should I get the euro 4?

[@JDMz]

Get the lxs. It's smaller than the euro 4 and 5 lxr. Plus the lxs has more power and less weight.

[@SlickMotoMike]

Anyone know of any mods like sliders, tail tidy, full exhaust system, etc

[@Ridingreviews]

there is some after market exhausts and some accessorise on www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwijst3OneHzAhXyDIsKHV5oA9wYABAAGgJlZg&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQOD242vpSbAxFxbzuvefHahceZX2dYP536oOIGfjtBCrhLyBZlJhzl5_koLItY_LQkiAmf-RM7HI15LohZ-GQkg&sig=AOD64_0fOAeFxNEvv2SlxPdmK5MWHuymGw&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwjW9NPOneHzAhULwAIHHQhzDzoQ0Qx6BAgCEAE other than that ebay

[@neilcrisp3513]

thanks for the heads up regarding the greasy film on the tyres, but I'm concerned that you'd let a bike leave your dealership in a potentially dangerous state. surely cheapbikerus could wash it off and not leave it for the customer to have an accident on the way home. I would think twice about buying from a dealer who left a bike in a potentially dangerous state when they are fully aware of it. you could also find yourself in a sticky position legally if the worse was to happen.

[@Ridingreviews]

we do clean the film off on the bikes from cheapbikesrus but I don't know whether other dealers do that is why i mentioned it i found out after a test ride so now we clean it off with break cleaner

[@jamieclark4955]

What does the storage look like under the back seat?

[@Ridingreviews]

In the euro 5 version there isnt any it is full of a carbon canister

[@exonic5898]

I’m turning 17 soon and saved up a decent amount of money. Do you think it’s a bad idea to have a motorcycle as a first time driver?

[@Ridingreviews]

Lots of people are doing it this way now because it is alot cheaper than a car

[@exonic5898]

@@Ridingreviews yeah that’s one of the reasons I was considering it more

[@samabrams5822]

Thats what I did and I dont regret it at all, about to turn 18 and had 4 bikes, now just bought the lxr

[@JDMM92]

How tall are you?

[@Ridingreviews]

@@JDMM92 5ft9in

[@mikelacross]

You mentioned no one does test rides on 125's because of the insurance issues, but surely they could work on somewhere like an old airodrome. We have Dunsfold in Surrey, they film Top Gear there, there's cycle racing & all sorts of test days as well. Come on... I wana test a bike before I buy it

[@Ridingreviews]

You could try and go to a lexmoto news day

[@yusuff8483]

Hi Mate is there any backwheel stands that have wheels to move side to side. If you do please let me know where I can get one as it would significantly help me bring my bike inside the house instead of leaving it in my garden.

[@Ridingreviews]

I have never seen anything like that

[@shainexxxsescrimshaw7605]

Hi all, I've snapped my stock lxr 125 euro 5 chain, can anyone recommend a good replacement chain that will fit my bike please, thanks

[@Ridingreviews]

I dont know the size but you need to get a o ring chain or a x ring chain

[@shainexxxsescrimshaw7605]

That's great thanks mate, that's what I was confused about, think I'm going for a D.I.D or a Kobura one, thanks anyway mate

[@Ridingreviews]

@@shainexxxsescrimshaw7605 all good no problem

[@JDMz]

The euro 4 also has 2 valves. The euro 5 has 4 valves.

[@Ridingreviews]

It doesnt state that on there website and i havent ajusted the valves on one yet but thanks for the info

[@shainexxxsescrimshaw7605]

Just out of curiosity does anyone know were I'd get a piston kit for the 185ml engine, can't find any information on this engine at all, thanks

[@Ridingreviews]

the only place I know is cmpo or Chinese motorcycle parts online

[@bobwhitton678]

Would you say this would be a better bike than the cb125f

[@Ridingreviews]

In spec the lxr is better looks better but cb125f has the reliability of a honda at a simuler price are looks more inportant than reliability

[@qaisasghar4152]

Would you recommend this over the lxs 125?

[@Ridingreviews]

no I would say the lxs on spec is better but I haven't seen the lxs

[@Weathal]

Would this bike be suitable for someone that's 6 foot 1? (me)

[@Ridingreviews]

Yes this is a tall bike and the euro 5 vertion is taller than the euro 4 one

[@Weathal]

Which time to come in India

[@Ridingreviews]

If they are in india they would be under a different name

[@bashlites]

Well the insurance statement you made was absolute bs cos I got quoted 4k 😂

[@Ridingreviews]

So because you got a quote for £4000 the thausends of people who got it for 350 are rong maybe you should look a bit harder try ringing bikesure or lexham

[@JDMz]

Depends on age. If youre young expect to pay high price especially in a area with high crime rate.

[@armandex0574]

Hey can i buy it in italy?

lexmoto are trying to get dealers in Europe but as of yet I don't think there are any
