NOTE: The Bullit has the 9 litre fuel tank and the Hanway has the 13 litre fuel tank; I got it the wrong way round...sorry!

[@antoniomargallo5317]

I don't think the Bullit has a 9 liter tank ...

[@jackreynolds3122]

Yeahh it definitely doesnt I got a bullit not long ago and can fit a whole 20ltr Jerry can in there lol.

[@jackreynolds3122]

Well nearly about 3 litres leftover.

[@6AlphaMikeCharlie9]

i´d probably kick that rear light off the Hanway HS swinging my leg over to get on it.

[@noelkavanagh3507]

I was going to go for the Honda msx125 now seeing these I have totally changed my mind.Being a total novice I love the sound of the bullit.Great review I've just subbed.

[@nodiggity9472]

I just bought a brand new Hanway, only they're badging them as "Hanley" for some reason. Great little bike, a whole lot better than I ever thought a Chinese import would be. For a little under 2K (Shop around, it pays off) I got a really nice little ride. 80mpg I reckon. Looks nice, sounds nice, rides well, proper sturdy feel to it too.

[@Cronkl_]

This is defo my first motorbike, instantly fell in love with it.

[@MrClean-mr3bt]

Excellent video lads, the only english language review for the bullit hero I could find anywhere, this helped incredibly with me deciding to buy one this week. cheers!

[@motorsforthemasses]

Great! Glad you liked the review. We are keen to hear your views from an owner perspective!

[@ianjohnson4987]

Great video. Thanks. Fuel tank capacity is very important for me and it's a shame that so many bikes have less than 100 mile range. Keep ups the good work

[@joshfrost8803]

I’ve been waiting for this video for ages 👍🏼

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hope it was worth the wait!?

[@DynamoTightstar]

The Hanway is a bit more in keeping with Ducati and Triumph style of bike than the hero. Good video as always guys.

[@michaelperera7142]

I have a bullet hero and i love it, i had Yamaha's in the 70s and 80s a RD250 and haven't had a bike since the 90s got the bullet hero and feel like a teenager again i just love it 😁 can't smile wide enough...

[@tover6057]

I can't believe you guys are actually gonna give away that modial... such an amazing bike. By the way great review guys !!

[@motorsforthemasses]

You ever make a decision that you then feel....should I have done that? That's me right now lol. Just keeping in mind the awesome bike that will be underway soon.

[@gonnahavemesomefun]

Really useful comparison. Newly subscribed, this chap(s) seem to review stuff in a way that I want to see. I have a huge, in comparison, Ducati Monster 1200 and wanting a tiny bike for nipping out. Thanks for the comparison and the other reviews, cheers

[@simonwiggin7824]

Great video I live this new style of video. Keep it up 👍

Great video Guys! First i was thinking of buying the Hanway, but after seeing this review i'm more into the Bullit

[@n1cholasfer]

[@brunodehemptinne1437]

I love your mondial! It's beautiful !

[@nmills87]

That bullit is glorious...

[@ADAMLFC92]

I have the bullit hero myself and I have to say it's a great looking bike, certainly original (where I live you see alot of sinnis apaches and the like) I've got it up to 71mph according to my GPS but it sits comfortably at 65 no problems and I mainly uses it for city commuting for work anyway, and so far no machanical issues to report.

[@scottsound4711]

Adam Burnham Got mine yesterday ☺ have you done any mod's to it ? & do you know if you can Remap them or Cpu Flash thanks.

[@ADAMLFC92]

Scott Sound only mods I've done so far are new tyres, with more tread more scrambler type and I've painted to gas tank and switched the side plates

[@scottsound4711]

Adam Burnham how fast have you had it ? & have you seen the YT video of one with a K&N air filter ??

[@lsalvage3228]

How had the bike been? Any problems?

[@richardcarr6493]

soooo how about now?? Anything to report??

[@stefanglad3583]

Ok, you just mentioned it. Thanks :D

[@colmanorourke5835]

Great video keep it up lads very good information an very entertaining..

[@motorsforthemasses]

Thank you

[@jimmyc9828]

What timing! Looked at both bikes, the Bullit is to lofty for me, i pick up my matt military green Hanway tomorrow :)

[@motorsforthemasses]

Great! Hope you enjoy it. I like the Matt green idea!

[@axeman6560]

Nothing like picking up a new bike. :)

[@gonnahavemesomefun]

Can you show the coiley thing that is used to change the seat height?

[@noelsatterley2996]

Bullit every time. Lovely bike.

[@flormvs8275]

Love you en your bikes 😍😍😍

[@joshfrost8803]

Bullit Hero all the way.

[@alexevans162]

You mentioned that the seat heights for both bikes are set at half way. Does that imply you can adjust the seat height for the Hanway as well? thanks

[@barryjmarling]

Saw a bullet at a show the weekend great looking bike.

i love retro bike new subscriber here sir

[@markJones-yz6ke]

Was gonna buy a BMW 9t till I saw a built!will save myself thousands by buying a built!!👏👍😀

[@antoniomargallo5317]

I just got mine today, and she is all I've expected and much more. The giant front wheel is a bit tricky at curving, but one gets the hang of it. On the other side, that giant front wheel doesn't slides, it's really comfortable on the bumps, and very very safe on the front breaking, and the assisted braking isn't that bad either. It's just pure raw fun and entertainment as you commute amidst those sad sad driver's faces.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Superb! Good to hear! I hope you enjoy owning it

[@denysandrews8598]

António Margalho It doesn’t look like the hero has main stand? Isn’t that an issue parking it up? It could just get pushed over

[@alansmith526]

Hi I have a bullit hero 125 and was wondering how you lower the rear suspension can you help please?

[@MrBarrytommy]

Ah great back to bikes -Like the Hero but probably would have to ride the Hanway due to lack of leg extensions

[@gloczyslaw19]

What do you mean ?

[@MrBarrytommy]

i have testdrive a bullit hero 125 and off road its great very confy and no vibration on handelbars

How does the Hanway fit with a passenger?

[@stefanglad3583]

Gude! Just stumbled over your Channel as i ordered a Pagani 300i 2 days ago. I dont have any idea about the measurement of the bike and wonder, how tall you actually are. Just to know if i look a bit clownish with 1,83m on a presumably small bike. Thank in forward!

[@reinhardheirman7699]

it would be nice to know the make or manufacture of the motor on all your chines bikes

[@bluezsb]

are the tires being so knobbly bad for riding on the street?

[@scottsound4711]

Got my Bullit Hero yesterday.Does anyone know if you can Remap them/flash Cpu ? Or Mod's.Iv seen a YT video with a K&N air filter and open exhaust..Help anyone Thanks.

[@RidingWithOliHD]

I watch alot of your videos. Great work your the only channel that does this! Can you review ktm duke 125 or yamaha mt125? Or maybe even both... Theyre both on the top of the 125 bike market and i wanna see what you say as i cannot find any good reviews anywhere for both of them. Thanks, keep doing what you doing !!!

[@motorsforthemasses]

correct

[@TomPro4]

Where is made Hanway? thx

[@stefanthimm8307]

Can you help me? I like the look of the bullit very much. But I am 1,95m (6,4 feet) tall and I am concerned the bullit hero might be too small for me. Is the bullit big enough for me or would you recommend to select a bigger bike like the KSR TW125 oder Honda Varadero?

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hi, replied to other comment...

[@roythearcher]

Out of the two, the Bullit looks more the part with its higher ground clearence and the high level exhaust. The smaller fuel tank is consistant with competition aspirations but I suspect its all for appearances only, whereas the Hanway looks more like a road bike with the lower seat hight and exhaust down by the rear pegs. The larger fuel tank is more useful on the road too...I'm not too sure about the smoke out of the exhaust though....Hope thats just steam!...

[@alexpeacock6939]

Bullit for me so much so I baught one. Plenty of power even with a routund beer belly. It so much fun to ride a hoot on or off road.

[@motorsforthemasses]

That is good to know; so not just for the paper-thin

[@alexpeacock6939]

Motors for the Masses kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKq1lKKFgJd7ldU

[@motorsforthemasses]

Great roads, looks very comfortable in that environment, any plans to take it offroad?

[@Guilhermesanunes]

What was the top speed?

[@skuoni9441]

i just both me the new bullit. Question did you also had problems in slow curves? i think the tires are not so goot for the normal street?

[@motorsforthemasses]

It is a different ride with those tyres. They can suddenly lean...but I think you will get used to the style of riding.

[@arik9060]

bullit or mash??? which bikes are better??

[@cloggsy1971]

The Bullit Hero looks awesome 😎

[@Khauff1]

Parts are not easily obtainable through other motorcycle parts dealers online unfortunately

[@lorentismailiable]

Quick question, in terms of durability and so on, is the Bullit hero any good ?

[@motorsforthemasses]

It seems pretty sturdy and appears to hold up well offroad. It feels pretty solid and not very feeble.

[@keithmarsh6679]

bullit looks great,just wish you would look at the quality od the discs cables brake pads ect.

[@25ghr]

I have a Royal Enfield Interceptor, and a 250 Skyteam , V raptor ,but I like the look of the Bullit Hero it would be a great fun bike,,, ,

[@DynamoTightstar]

I’m going for the Hanway. Looks like Steve McQueen could jump barbed wire on the Hanway. The Hero is a Sinnis, Lexmoto that’s been modified but it looks odd. The seat gap looks odd, it’s a trail bike really.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hi, yes I see your point with the trail bike comparison; although to be honest; the Hero would be easier for McQueen to jump I feel with that massive swingarm, monoshock and suspension travel...and it encourages a standing position for the launch! lol

[@briantrend1812]

nothing wrong with a trail bike

[@lucasantelia3201]

Top speed bullit hero?

[@renelaplanche7201]

Combien cela prix pour France 125 only game

[@tamirtamir5170]

where is that bullet come from?

[@motorsforthemasses]

China. They are building great bikes now

[@luiszunzunegui7463]

Which one would you consider more beginner friendly?

[@motorsforthemasses]

Good question! I think it depends on style choice and how tall you are. The Hero seemed more stable at slower speeds, although the gear change was further away. Perhaps the Hanway would be more user friendly for a beginner; just be mindful of the balance at slow speeds.

[@richardcarr6493]

BOTH ARE GREAT LOOKERS AND BOTH SOUND GOOD ,but l d go for the bullit ,if l m going to Hooligan around town :)

[@MotorTipsVids]

I tested and testdrive both of these two and i prefer the bulit

[@motorsforthemasses]

I would love to take the Bullit offroad...will try and set that up. I wonder how it would fair?

[@MotorTipsVids]

Off road is great o think better offroad taht onroad hehe

[@MotorTipsVids]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIewZ6h-e66erNU

[@YoShImUrA53]

I actually went across the Pyrenees on a Hanway Scrambler last summer. We did it all basically off-road, or avoiding the tarmac as much as possible, and had an absolute blast. But I'll admit, I would've wanted the extra height (poor Hanway's exhaust...) and what looks like a punchier engine from the Bullit.

[@p.santos6644]

Wouldn't be easy to make the hanway 4 inches higher with some brackets on the rear shocks and front suspension extenders ? 😏

[@discobiscuit6849]

Is that the lowest the mono shock on the Hero will go? Seems like you get a much better bike with the Hero for another £300. But the height could be an issue for many.

[@motorsforthemasses]

That was around mid-height if I remember correctly

[@discobiscuit6849]

Thanks for the very informative review and comparison I am going to try the bullet for size at a local dealer.

[@erikmyklebust5613]

Can you lower the bullit hero?

[@motorsforthemasses]

A little but not a great deal

[@erikmyklebust5613]

Im 6 foot so Would i fit the bullit hero?

[@motorsforthemasses]

More than most I would say

[@johnDukemaster]

Living in DK...not UK, which is OK in many ways...sorry, must be serious! Any dealers in DK or will the next trip go to UK for this Bullit? :-)

[@lukasboger7377]

can two persons sit on the bullit hero

[@motorsforthemasses]

Yes, but it will be slow

[@morini500dave]

The Bullit has what looks like a Supertrap silencer which has removable discs that alter the loudness,

[@axeman6560]

morini500dave you are right , super trapps been around for decades!

[@motorsforthemasses]

Yes, it is quite unique to see them on a modern bike. We were very tempted to take them all off! lol

[@ColemanSpirit]

Thx for the vid, well done. A question, What's your feeling if you should choose between the bullit and the hipster (Mondial)?

[@motorsforthemasses]

I personally prefer the lower Cafe racer style scrambler so it would be the Mondial for me personally. It depends on your style preference.

[@ColemanSpirit]

Thank you so much for your answer!!! It encourage me and it's better for me to hear that because it difficult to buy a bullit in Switzerland.. I am in love with the hispter but the sound of the bullit give something else.. again thank you for taking time for my question. Wish you the best.

[@motorsforthemasses]

No problem. The Bullit feels it may need a little time to get used to ride easily whereas the Mondial feels very much a 'get on and go' bike....no period of getting used to it necessary! Good luck with your choice.

[@TOTk1980]

I however am not keen on the riding position of the Mondial and i would need a period of time to get used to it and if given the choice between the Mondial, Hero or the Hanway would definitely go for the bullit Hero but i would have it as low as it will go.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Fair enough.....

[@axelmuller2732]

Bullit is a nice Tracker 👍👍

[@kasilada7784]

I like the low profile design of the hanway, not the colour of the one shown in this video though.

[@ryanm.191]

Would love to get the bullit but they are very expensive brand new and not many people are selling second hand. When they do, the value is almost the same as new

[@ojonugwaekele4325]

Could you please make a quick comparison between the mondial and hero. I am about to get my second 125 and I want something with a bit more torque, looks good, fast, improves my riding, practical and lastly am about 5 ft 9. Thank you.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hi, I think that would personally be an unfair comparison as they are very different style bikes. One is a tall scrambler whereas the Mondial is more of a lower Cafe style scrambler

[@ojonugwaekele4325]

Motors for the Masses No offence but I can see they are different style bikes and the whole point of this exercise was to get your "opinion" because you have ridden both bikes... Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "compare" but as mentioned earlier based on practicality, torque, looks, height etc which is a better bike?

[@motorsforthemasses]

OK, fair enough. The mondial is easy to ride. 130 kg, you can whip it into corners without any hassle. The tyres hold the road superbly and you feel very confident in the dry and wet. The stance is quite upright although the foot position is more sports bike. The hero is a tall bike, sounds great, feels taller and is a little notchy on the slow turning. The Hero however would give more confidence offroad and the Mondial moreso on road. If I had to choose between the 2; I would have the Mondial for road use and the Hero for fun off road.

[@ojonugwaekele4325]

Motors for the Masses Thank you very much. I went into the shops and sat on the mondial and loved it. My first bike was a leximoto and have made up my mind to get something nice to ride for at least 6 months.. Thank you again!!

[@lucasantelia3201]

Is this hero bullit 50?

[@lucasantelia3201]

Or 125 cc?

[@aaronkerridge]

Witch would u choose between the bullit hero and the spirit

[@motorsforthemasses]

To be honest I would have both. The spirit for road riding, low down, corner hugging fun and the Hero for offroad, country lane fun.

[@aaronkerridge]

Thanks for your reply . What are your thoughts with the hero and the ajs offroader . Sorry to be a pain . Loveing ur KZbin channel keep up the good work . And thanks again .

[@motorsforthemasses]

@@aaronkerridge I assume you mean the AJS Tempest Scrambler? Now that is a tough one. I love both of them. I would say the AJS is better to ride on the road than the Hero, due to its tyres vs centre of gravity balance, although it really just comes down to getting used to the ride style. Off road, they are pretty equal, although the AJS feels more retro whereas the hero is more of a race style scrambler, both pretty equal in terms of fun.

[@motorsforthemasses]

@@aaronkerridge We did a review on the AJS also, have a look through the videos and see what you think...

[@curlytheunacceptable.4298]

You looked to be seated better on the Bullit, it looked more comfortable a riding position in fact the Bullit suited you better.

[@TheHelder1976]

Do you give way your bike already ? If not, what must i do to participate? Well, im from Portugal?

[@billperry1911]

Just been down to my local dealer to view a few of these 125cc bikes , including the mutt mongrel, and the ajs. First viewing of all these bikes , and all so totally different in real life. The bullit hero is truly outstanding though and definately a well made , well designed absolutely cracking bike. A complete no brainer.

[@danscram]

Practicality and style I would prefer the Hero, being 6’4” i think I would be very cramped on the Hanway with that low seat and high pegs I probably would hit my knees every time I’m trying to make a turn

[@tsampadi]

Do they do a bike for a one legged person

[@mikehorton8603]

Hop it!

[@matumbomabeco5085]

the bump in the middle of the Hanway scrambler seat its a safety pin, in case of an accident it comes out and holds you buy your arse hence the name hannnnn noooowayyyy

[@derrenwood-peterson8518]

It took about a week... American here, and I need a commuter for work. Kinda anti-big government, like to keep my needs local, and never needed a license. Wanted to keep it that way, and was looking for a 50cc scooter, or moped. Stumbled on little Chinese Grom clones, and got excited. Then I saw one of these retro scramblers, probably a Hanway, I just went to search "retro scramblers 50cc" as soon as I saw it. Found the Hero, and tried my best to look at all the options, instead of just going with the prettiest one. Which just led me back to the Hero, and now I just gotta have one. So turns out I DO need a moped license for a moped. Okay, fine. Also a moped cannot shift...oh...but a motorcycle can't be 50cc and under... So fuck it, I'm sold, I'll get the damn motorcycle license, and get the racing colors 125, became it's the sexiest thing I'm willing to spend money on. 😁 I'll come back when I decided which arm I wanna keep for shipping. 😝

[@anthonyciantar6015]

Looks like Steve McQueen would look at home on the Bullet! Or is it Bullit?

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

Anyone bought one yet? I love the new Martini paint on the 2018 bike, love to hear from some actual owners reviews now they have been out a while though, cannot find anything on the net, really liked this video.

[@motorsforthemasses]

I have seen just one on the road in our area....yet to catch the guy lol

[@jasonclarke7422]

I have just got myself a Hanway scrambler,I have only put 100 miles on it so far,it rides like a dream for what it is,when I’ve had for a few months I will do a short term review on it,and let you know how it is,but for the price,at this time I have no complaints,it is what it is,a commuter bike with a bit of style,if you want to know about the size of the bike,I am 6ft3 and it fits great,due to the riding position.so it’s a good bike for shorter & taller riders.off road,it is very well planted,mild green lane riding,if there are any questions I can help anyone with,please ask and I will answer as honestly as I can,ride safe and have fun.

[@vejunas1854]

It really fits well on you? Because I am same height as you and I'm interested in hanway. How does it perform on road?

[@jasonclarke7422]

Vejunas it performs really well on road,when I first rode the bike I thought that the front end felt a bit stiff, but after putting just over 400 miles on it,I think I would use the term,more planted and stable,probably due to the large front tyre and wide handlebars,I don’t regret buying the bike,it really is what 125cc are about affordable fun.

[@vejunas1854]

I'd love to sit on it and feel does it fits my height, but I can't because there is no dealerships in my country :/ My biggest doubt is does it fits? I would be more than glad if I get an opportunity to see how bike looks with tall guy.

[@robertjackson3209]

A 250cc Hero would be loads better as a winter hack/second bike. Do they, or are they planning on making one?

[@dbrown555]

Great video on 2 great looking bikes, but think I prefer the Mondial although it's a good bit more expensive. How do they compare to the Mondial to ride?

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hi, a very different riding experience. The Mondial is more feet back, lean forward and as such means you ride it more easily than either of the scrambler which have a traditional 90 degree leg position. The Mondial also feels more easily manoeuvrable and lighter on the front end.

[@dbrown555]

Motors for the Masses Thanks I can't believe you're going to give away your Mondial! I love that bike. I had to watch that part 3 times I thought I'd misheard you! Thanks for the reply and doing these 2 bikes 👍

Yep, on to bigger and better.
