Rev Bomb - Royal Alloy GT125 Test Ride & Vlog

[@pauliesk.7102]

I'm taking delivery later this week of a Royal Alloy 125 GT. If someone of your experience approves: I know I've made the right choice! Beautiful machine.

[@RevBombUK]

thanks for your comments, much appreciated be well and ride safe 👍👍👍

Looks beautiful

Great review. This will be my second scooter as of next year when my daily rider is paid out. I'll have to clear out the shed though as this beauty will NOT be left out in the rain!! I can't wait.

[@RevBombUK]

Have fun!

I have had a Royal Alloy for 2 years now, I didn't have a problem until around 4500 miles then it has had problem after problem. I have had it serviced 4 times since I have had it, so it is not due to neglect. I have had a new chrome exhaust, front pads changed twice, back once, new battery, 2 new tyres and now the starter motor is knackered, on my last service I asked if they could look at my indicator switch because it also wasn't working correctly. When they tried to fix it the speedo fell apart and they are on back order with no available delivery date. I have had to call Green Flag twice as it wouldn't start. So it is stuck in the shed doing nothing. Hardly any mechanics will touch any Chinese scooters because all the parts are of a poor quality and hard to obtain. Plus the linked braking system is very awkward service, on the plus side, they do look good.

[@RevBombUK]

The royal alloy range has been one of the better brands to come out of china Parts are hard to obtain due to covid and deliveries. Motogb know the clocks are an issue and are sorting this. As for the linked brakes being an issue they are really easy to do if your mechanic knows what he is doing correctly, loads of videos on here about bleeding or changing fluid in linked brakes. Hopefully you get it sorted and out on it soon, be well and ride safe

[@johnginniver4220]

I am no mechanic so I cannot really comment on the intricacies of how to actually service the brake system. I do know that the mechanic that works on my bike is very adept and knowledgeable. I can totally understand your stance and why you would be trying to maintain the reputation of this bike. The fact is it is a very new bike with a number of teething issues that may eventually be ironed out. The supply issues were prevalent before the COVID outbreaks unfortunately, it seems they have mainly focused on the cosmetic side with a range of flashings, seat covers, chrome crash bars etc. I cannot comment on the GP or the TG as I have never owned one, hopefully they are made more robustly. I don't mean to throw a spanner in the works its just a shame that it seems that after such a space of time that it has just become a money pit, all the best, hope these problems are rectified.

[@johnginniver4220]

Oh I forgot, the accelerator cable totally rusted through and snapped aswell, the mechanic said he had never seen that before in a bike that was 2 years old.

@@RevBombUK got my lambretta v 125 stolen other week thinking of getting royal alloy GT E5 model has the more up to date GT have all these problems with speedometer having to change brake pads too often and all the other list of issues or have royal alloy sorted it all out

[@RevBombUK]

@Michael Burke still ongoing that's why we dropped the royal alloy brand

[@MrKdl1969]

Service is 6 months intervals, it does tell you in the manual. I have gt, love it. A few common niggles are 1 speedo sensor breaks, 2 head steering bearing can tighten up, feels jerky to turn. Its a quick fix. All under warranty. Battery can be poor, most change to a better quality battery.

[@RevBombUK]

Spot on with the comments thank you

[@Coaster_Crazy]

I’ve only just come across these and I like them, I think they look so much nicer then the modern Lambretta !! Oh and as soon as I saw Dobbies I thought you was in Milton Keynes 👌🏻

[@Coaster_Crazy]

@@RevBombUK cool thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheBikerDodge]

I really like the look of these scooters, and I've heard great things about them, however, I'm curious to know where they got the name from.

[@RevBombUK]

They are Asian based, have a look at a few of the owners clubs They were originally scomadi

[@Tcoldsteel]

Thanks for the review. I have the GP version but I have to disagree about the mirrors. They are completely inadequate.

[@RevBombUK]

👍👍👍

[@peterryan7827]

I have to ask is the engine actually a vespa,brilliant video thanks ,

[@RevBombUK]

As to the engine I dont think so but loads of info on the scooter labs forum google it

[@joshsilk1680]

Do these have under seat storage like the lambretta v125?

[@RevBombUK]

No storage at all petrol tank takes up the seat

[@neilfordham5790]

Thank you for the review. I am seriously thinking about a Royal Alloy 125 but it’s pretty hilly where I live and I wondered how it would cope with hills, would I get in everyone’s way?

[@RevBombUK]

The royal alloy has a lot more hp than most 125's and is so much better a scooter only issues we found were with the speedos not working correctly or the speedo sender. But warranty covers it if it does play up

[@neilfordham5790]

@@RevBombUK Thank you, I had a look at them at the weekend and I am impressed by the build quality. I think I will go for the LC model with better performance.

[@zackwebster3163]

I have had to give up motorcycles due to a bad back, so I'm swapping my CBR 500R for a Royal Alloy GT 300, they haven't got any Azure blue but they have a back order of +25 and won't be here until January, so I am going to get it for march 23 plate👍🇬🇧

look so great doe

Thanks

[@Tom-bi5ln]

Was the Speedo not working as it looked like it was reading 0 throughout the journey?

[@RevBombUK]

Yes was picked up on the ride. customer had already been informed pre ride and warranty parts had already been orderred Purpose of the ride was to show him bike otherwise run ok This is why we do long test rides to pick up on faults

[@Tom-bi5ln]

@@RevBombUK That's good as it seems to be a common on going fault with these new Royal Alloys having Speedo issues.

[@seanwightman9611]

Quite weird you saying absolutely no problems with it when you can clearly see the speedo doesn’t work for the entire ride.

[@RevBombUK]

@@seanwightman9611 Customer already new about it and was informed prior to ride, he wanted to see his bike being ridden

Can you do a review on the TG range

[@leemarshall9501]

i have just bought a gt 125 new still breaking it in so its a bore at the moment i bought it so i can go out with the wife on rides and she only rides a 125 the only grrr i have so far is the price and the fuel gauge plus the no under-seat storage

[@RevBombUK]

They suffer badly with the clocks playing up and getting motogb to actually stock any spare parts We stopped selling then as the back up from motogb was awful lots of dealers are now coming away from them

[@leemarshall9501]

Hi I received my new bike at the weekend it hasn't had a road test what should I check for when first ride it please as I'k u do really gd test rides

[@jamesflear7850]

@Biker Steve700 lexmoto titan

[@RevBombUK]

Check it pulls through the gear ok or if a twist and go it gets up to speed, check the brake operations, it holds a straight line. Sit it at a steady 40mph if a new bike and make sure it doesnt have any running issues, Always make sure if its a new bike first 311 miles at 40mph get a service done then ride at 50mph up to 932 miles second service and then your good to go. thats the service and running in for Lexmoto bikes and scooters that are 125cc most bikes will be about the same. Be well ride safe and go easy if your on new tyres for at least 50 miles also make sure you do a weekly bolt check and check your chain tension and oil levels

[@jamesflear7850]

@@RevBombUK thank you. For the service do I have take it to the dealer I bought it from as there in Stockport or can I use a local one as I'm a 2hr car drive away from the dealers

Nice video, but the mirrors are rubbish, too short. Everyone who has royal alloy, gt, gp, tg, even scomadi, has changed mirrors.
