    The 'look but don't touch ' sign would definitely put me off buying a bike there 🤔. One of the reasons you go to a bike shop is too have a sit on them and try out the riding position,and sometimes in the past I've bought a completely different bike than what I was originally thinking, purely because of how it felt. I'm not a fan of this company as I also dislike when your looking at one of there advert descriptions online they tell you everything you don't want to know,and nothing about the bike itself!!!

If you slip theres not much give as in "go with the slide" Every time I ride it motorcycle boots (+ofc gloves, helmet, sturdy trousers) well worth the money! Dont blame you for staying clear of Lexmoto. Two Lexmoto I have had required CONSTANT daily checking nuts and bolts are tight. Long distance things can easily drop off... even with lockthread! 😅

    Hi Tommy, glad you have bought a larger Honda, the same as my second bike in 2019. I really loved my 2019 CB500f, but found an annoying buzz at around 65mph. I then went to a privately sourced 2019 Yamaha Tracer 700, and the differences were substantial. 3 more kg and 25 more HP makes a big difference! Worth considering if you trade up again. But, the Honda is a great bike, and returned my about 92 mpg! Yamaha about 67MPG. All best for your journey, Robert

    A cautionary tale. A couple of months ago I bought a black CB750 Hornet. In less than 6 weeks and 1,300 miles the tank had many, easily visible, wear marks from my clothing. My warranty claim was rejected as it was deemed as normal wear. So it would appear Honda's paintwork normal wear is under 1,300 miles. I also have wear marks on the frame from changing gear. I had none of these issues on my previous 2008 Honda which I covered 128,000 miles on. I've therefore come to the conclusion the quality of the Honda paintwork these days is not what it used to be. However, the bike is excellent!!!
