I Went Around the UK on a 125cc
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 08. 2021
- The new 2021 Sinnis Terrain 125 is a learner-legal adventure bike with a liquid cooled 12.7BHP, over 66 litres of luggage capacity, and a 14 litre tank giving you well in excess of 160 mile range.
For this Sinnis Terrain 125 review I decided to do something different and attempted the Iron Butt 'Full Monty' ride where you ride around the UK in under 48 hours - there's no way you can do that on a Sinnis Terrain 125cc motorcycle, but I wanted to try and do it in under 72 hours.

Was thinking while watching this what's the point putting yourself through that but I suppose it's like any other endurance challenge. You give yourself a target and finish and that's it. I might try something similar here in Ireland. Great video's 🤟
Cheers Chris.
It always amuses me when I do these type of rides and get people commenting the same old stuff - Why? What’s the point? Etc etc etc
As you rightly say it’s just a challenge I set myself, because most people won’t, or can’t do these type of rides. I can, and I like to push myself in them each time to try something different in my riding and life.
I’m chuffed you get it bud, and even more chuffed that you sound like you’re going to give a challenge a go yourself.
Whatever it is, go for it and see it through bud 👏👍
@@teapotone cheers Bruce you've definitely planted the seed. 💪
@@chrissandy9935 making yourself uncomfortable is good for you, be it on the bike walking or anything really, step outside the comfort zone and try, you will be amazed what changes
100% 👏👍
Its also proof at 17 when you pass your cbt that the country is there, you have the freedom to go explore it and not stay inside the bubble you know.
My family at the time lived near Falkirk, we had the camper van ready to go to the western isles and i said i wanted to take my 125cc motorbike and ride it there, so they booked a spot on the ferry and my step dad said not to worry if something goes wrong, we will be behind you as he use to ride bikes when younger.
It was great, i did forget to fill up at Tyndrum so in the middle of Glen Coe I had to flag them down to fill the tank but i loved it.
The video shows a 125 can go anywhere just a bit slower than a mid range or 1000cc plus bike lol
I have to admit that my old 125 commuter was brilliant. And saved me loads when I wasn't as well off. From a guy with a Panigale in the garage, 125's are brilliant!
I'm really proud of that little 125. I mean, less than £3k for all that bike, and the fun and adventure. Well done Sinnis Motorcycles. And well done Bruce! Epic effort. I just popped into the garage and took another look at my T125, with a renewed appreciation. "Well done," I said. "Well done."
Bruce, you are an absolute legend 👏
All that way in 2 and a half days!! Brilliant, on a 125??!
Complete legend........and loony🤣
Well done mate, keep up the great work.
Grumps
Thanks Grumps 👍
Best video you've done bang on who'd of thought chinese 125 more reliable than a 1250 gs great work.
As a small capacity rider myself ( Vespa 300) l really appreciated this set of videos. I had big bikes for years and occasionally miss the sheer power but it’s amazing what you can do very cheaply and l will say, with more sense of fulfillment, on a smaller machine.
Recognised the Inverness road immediately!
Superb effort sir! 👍
100% why I subscribe and enjoy your vids matey. Put yourself through the paces and still find time and energy for banter. Well done. 👍👍👍
Great couple of videos Bruce, you're an absolute nutter but good for you for challenging yourself. Love the enthusiasm right up until the end. Top man.
I can't fathom staying on the A9. Credit to you Bruce, the challenge was more important than the scenery, I appreciate that. Bravo!
I enjoyed your review and tour very much. Brought back a lot of memories of my little Honda Cub when I was a kid. Well done!
Well done Bruce. the things you do for us CZcams folk and we love you for it too
Great job Bruce! Nothing like a challenge to “live your life”! Keep up the good work mate.
Great video, I’ve got the 2021 terrain and love it. I’m only 5’7” and this wee bike is perfect for me. I’m ready to upgrade and passing the sinnis down to my son. 👍🏼
Made it to John o groats in June by bike and when we were there met a couple of lads one of whom, on a Suzuki GSX - F, said he had hit a deer at 70 on the way up. He said he’d literally chopped it in half and we laughed thinking yeah right. Then he shows us the photos of half a deer. Quite a tale to tell. Stay safe kids.
Aye my mate Jimbo hit a deer on his R6 and chopped it in half!
A epic ride Bruce, just shows that you don't need a big bike to do a big trip! Thanks for posting this :)
Well done Bruce, an epic journey on a little bike. Oh, and you looked absolutely wrecked......Chapeau!!
125s are brilliant I have a full license and own 2 125cc scooters the Yamaha majesty s and the Xmax, both 4 valve liquid cooled, both are capable of long motorway trips, with all the speed limits dropping and fuel prices rising I’ll be sticking with my 125s,
Great video and adventure well done 👍
Hi TeapotOne.. Classic videos really enjoyed them... Last year at the start of the covid I bought myself a Sym NHT 125 to get to work and back. Earlier this year I decided to take a adventure on it, I bought some cheap throwovers and stuffer bag, small tent and sleeping bag. I went from West Yorkshire up to Northern Scotland on the A & B roads as I have not yet passed my test, I first headed to Arran, Oban, Via Fort William to the Isle of Skye then followed the coast up to Durness, including the infamos pass over to Applecross then back home Via Inverness, Edingburgh, Northumberland and the Yorkshire Dales. Just over 1300 miles in total. Had a craking time even the weather was good. I did it over 10 days. Most people thought I was some kind of nutter for doing a trip like this on a 125. Like you I am just under 6 feet tall and 19 stones, I am already planning my 2022 adventure, with a friend this time round. Hopefully I will have passed my test by then. If not I might give the Sinnus Terrain a go..
That's one journey on a bigger bike,but on a 125 it is outstanding. Great job big fella....liked and thanks as always.....🏴
Amazing trip fella. Too hardcore for me. Love watching you do it. You excel at this type of content. Its your niche in the market fella
nice to see a proper review
love all your vids
Thanks Rick 👍
Looks like you had all the fun! Great job Bruce
Great effort Bruce 👏...as I rode from Pembroke Dock to Chichester yesterday on my T7, Wales was driving wind and rain and the endless M4 was gridlocked...but every time i felt it was a bit of a grind I just smiled and thought of Teapot on the little Sinnis 125...! Cheers, Steve
Ha Ha, good work 👏👍
Did a 1000miles non stop except fuel and ferry, once, back from continent on very comfy fjr1300. It killed me. Never again. Youre a soldier
Well done. Tough ride! Broxden services was the staging area for our Sunday blasts back in the day good to see it again
Just getting into the world of motorbikes ive always wanted one but always got told too dangerous ect. So just this week decided enoughs enough and im doing it CBT is booked for Wednesday and the New Sym 125cc was bought this morning and waiting to be registered. So seeing what can be done on a 125cc is truly inspiring and im already wanting to plan long distance trips to get the most from the bike. Congratulations on this trip and hope to see more in future
Really enjoyed watching these videos
Well done Bruce - epic ride! 😁👍🏴
Great vid, Bruce. I travel up and down the A823 glendevon-gleneagles road every day to work. It’s one of the reasons I got my bike licence.
A great test & good little bike for the money. You are also extremely brave for doing this ride...
That's some serious adventure 😲..... I don't know how you did it, but I take my hat off to you 👍👍👍......All the best 🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺
Bruce you are an absolute legend. Well done and thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Cheers Scotty 👍👏
This is now top of my lads list for his first bike. He wants to go on adventures with me and he gone beyond being pillion with the camping gear. Looks like a good prospect, but I believe the service intervals are quite short. Great video and 10/10 for your effort, I was knackered just watching you!
Cheers Paul 👍
Respect to you for doing that trip on a 125, you must be insane, but fun to watch.
Brilliant vids might inspire me to try it...might🤔 keep up the great work Bruce
Well, I rather enjoyed this. After looking at many 125's myself ( having only big bikes for 15 Years) I ended up with the Zontes G1 125 Scrambler, and put the SR38 Shad cafe racer saddle bags on it, absolutely love it!! Sure the power is not like my Ducati 906 Paso but at least this time around I can actually see the scenery and wonderful places... before I went too fast to see anything! Taking it easy and enjoying a ride is really what it's all about...
Plenty of adventures up ahead riding my 125cc G1 Scrambler!!!
I've only just reached the 1.000 kilometers mark and just got the 1st. Service done ✅. Now I can do a nice longish trip👍
A bit shorter than your marathon though, I would be completely broken after what you just did!!!
Thx for sharing 👍
Bloody hell ! there is no way I could have done that , not even on a big bike , and I would have had a nights kip or 2 , your crazy , but you proved a point , the Sinnis 125 held up well .
Well done you nutcase LOL
Been Looking at this bike for a something to play on and maybe ride to work in the summer time(64mile round trip) . To see a grown man built like me on it has definitely sold it to me. I don’t have a bike license so a larger 125 is perfect for me. Enjoyed watching this video 👍🏼👍🏼
Hats off to you, good test for that bike. Glad you made home safe, I've found that pre-dawn stretch the most dangerous when you're sleep deprived. I would have slept like a log for 12+ hrs after that trip.
By now I hope your eye and your arse have recovered well! What an insane way to spend some time on a 125, I think if anything this video can dispell any reliability issues with a small Chinese bike considering the mileage done in such a short space of time. You mad man 😂 Great stuff mate, thoroughly enjoyed both parts. Also that road you were on that took you to the Clackmannanshire bridge is a belter, if I have to travel to Glasgow I come off at Kinross services then head west from there, brilliant road with a great bit of variety in riding!
Sinister rain. Great vid. I was thinking of doing the round Britain trip - now I don’t have to, so thanks.
Great videos, I'm laughing all the time. I thought I was the only one who moved my bum around like it was on fire. Got an Air hawk seat cushion for my Royal Enfield Himalayan. Now I can ride as long as I want and only be uncomfortable as opposed to excruciating pain. I'll have to tell my wife I'm not the only one who sleeps on the ground and picnic tables. Keep it up great stuff.
Brilliant stuff! Not quite this league but just done a 157 mile ride out yesterday on my little Xena, and have another 180+mile ride planned for this coming weekend.
I can praise 125's all day long, they're great little machines.
Absolutely brilliant mate what a great little bike 👍
I’m sure that was much easier to watch than to do! But what a great video and adventure, well done sir.
Thanks you Paul 👍
Glad you enjoyed riding part of my pre covid commute (clacks Bridge to Perth). Tired just watching you though, that was like an ultra marathon.
Brave soul...or complete nutter! Great vid. My 2021 T125 has the same fuel sensor issue. Even when its been flasshing for miles, I can only get 10litres in. The seat was killing my bum until I fitted an air cushion. Now its almost bliss. I have to say that once I got used to it, I quite appreciate the er, more gentle speeds. For a bike built in China, it is a cracking bike.
Maaaan you're crazy for taking this on, strong will that's for sure. I less than a week ago did London to Berwick Upon Tweed on a big bike and was kinda smug about it lol.
Been thinking for the last month I'd like to get back on a bike, it's been 20 years or so. Think you're vids might be that last bit of inspiration I've needed to do so and that sinnis might be the bike for me to get reacquainted. Thanks v much
Awesome, welcome back to the fold bud 👍
Big deer..... wasn't followed by Santa on his sleigh :) Loving the tour. Amazing where these little bikes will take you to.
That's some sacrifice to make to bring us a video, thank you Bruce 👏👏👏
Ha Ha cheers Mike - but I kind of weirdly enjoy this type of thing 😬😂🤦♂️👍
I can't believe you just kip on the ground somewhere, you're a braver man than I. 👍
Hi Bruce, having watched your review on the terrain I bought a brand new one some 11 months ago. I have to say I absolutely love it. I've got my mod 1 test in a couple of weeks and hope to eventually progress to a triumph tiger. I've been a hgv abnormal loads specialist driver for some years now (there is a vid attached to this channel) but never got the chance to do this before. The kids have gone I'm middle aged and ready to go. I definitely bought my sinnis on the backside of your videos. Thank you so much. Wayne
What a journey... you are amazing... Well done !
Thanks bud
Amazing achievement Bruce 👍
Brilliant couple of Videos - great advert for Sinnis and the ability of small bikes - You have officially earned an "I'm a nutter"" T-shirt - Respect!
Good timing, just got in from work.....brew time👍
Fit like en? You Sir are fekn insane min, some challenge that!! It certainly makes me want to get out on my 125 and go further though, depression has a way of making me not go out or just go a wee distance so I'm definitely inspired. Just found the channel, love it. Keep it up.
Cheers min, ach nae bad chiel, foo’s yer doo’s?
Aye I find that I do sometimes need a bit of a shove to get out on the bike when I’m not in a good frame of mind, but I never regret going for a blat somewhere once I’m out.
Stay safe loon 👍
Cracking series bruce, can't say I'd want to do that ride on a 125, am planning a 'teapot esk' jaunt of around 700 miles in a day, just waiting for some nice weather, want to get some more miles piled on my street triple, only done about 2.5k this year,
i probably congratulated you on this epic trip . way back when you did it but i just watched it again and still take a Hat off to you for Determination
Ha Ha cheers bud 👍
This reminds me of being 17yrs old and all the trips I did on my 125, through London, Stonehenge, Folkestone, Liverpool, Chelsea Bridge meets, Cornwall. Never have I had so much fun as that first taste of freedom. My 125 was the fastest road legal Honda 125 at Performance Bikes first Frenzy and was in the April 1987 edition. Happy days.
Awesome, that’s what it’s all about isn’t it - smiles in the miles 👍
Blimey!! Sinnis 125 carrying 20st and planning overtakes.........not sure whether to be in awe or very worried, which pretty much sums up my feelings about your trip! Very enjoyable content though. Phew, glad you're still in one piece and well done Sinnis Terrain, as that bike was challenged just as much as you were.
Thanks Quentin 👍
R E S P E C T! What an outstanding ride review.... best / most insane ever.
Ha Ha cheers Neil 👍
I'm in awe ! But what a feeling of accomplishment....and exhaustion 🤨 👍👍
Cheers Nick
As a resident of “the famous” most easterly point of Britain I laughed my socks off at your reaction when you got here😂 well done on that most epic ride for some of us Bruce.
Ha Ha Peter please have a word with your local council, they need to do a better job than that! 😬🤷♂️😂👍
Absolutely love these challenges, last year I did London to lands end and back in a day, currently planning lands end to John o groats in a day run, looking to pump 1000 miles in a day just for the mileage,
Keep doing it teapot 🤪
From the west coast of Portugal to the eastern tip of Siberia would be a good run lol.
Some of these people commenting aren’t aware of your previous adventures lol, nice one Bruce maybe an airhawk or wild ass would’ve taken some of the pain but absolute respect looked brutal at times👍👍👍
Cracking vid Bruce loved it
hahahhahaha epic challenge and no I would not ever think this up lol the 21 days seems more up my alley lol. Cheers Bruce !
I saw you going the opposite direction just outside Dornoch Bruce. You’ve got some grit doing this, fair play lad!
Ha Ha cheers Ewan, I was fairly ‘focussed’ by that stage of the ride! 😳😬😂👍
Love from India bro 🔥 you are awesome because I'm following you from past few years 👍
Thank you Sandesh 👍
@@teapotone wow 🙏
Brucie all I can say is that you must be off your trolley dolly ! Love the Enduro Adventure up Norfff and then Soufff ! As a suggestion take a sleeping mat with you and keep the cold ground off you ! Great bike review and sure to pop down to Sinnis Brighton , Great vid TP1 ,Take care
The plucky Sinnis was amazing. So many miles ridden with its throttle against the stop carrying a mature adult rider for 24 hours per day yet it did not bat an eyelid. I am seriously impressed. That has to be some sort of record for a "mere" 125cc.
I like the grinding Bruce (if on the right bike). You should take a look at the Iron Butt scatter rallies - they are varying lengths (from 8hours upwards). It’s a different kind of challenge to the endurance rides - much more thinking/re-assessing routes as you ride whilst visiting some interesting places.
WOW👏 👏 👏 you are a TROOPER Bruce😂 not sure that many of your CZcams compatriots would take on such a challange👍you are fast becoming a LIVING LEGEND in my book buddy😉 you ROCK🎸
Ha Ha cheers Dwayne…. Did I ever tell you about the time I rode around the world?…. 😉😂👍
@@teapotone NOO😯did you🤣😉
Recently rode Inverness - JoG - Lands End, via the east coast to pull in 1021 miles in 22 hours.
Slept on a picnic table too, at Ralia Cafe at 08:00, and at 14:00 in a Sainsbury’s cafe.
Beyond tired by 18:00. Ran on Adrenilin until 23:00 to get to lands end.
One day of that was enough.
Well done bud crazy Scotsman 💪🏻👌🏻
Bruce, you’re a proper nutter… just brilliant. Hot cuppa and cake always on offer if you need it on one of your adventures and you’re passing. Pleasure to meet you a couple of weekends back at Wildbad. Keep em comin. Cheers 👍👍
The thing is, you've proved that you don't need to go all out booking time off, making reservations, saving cash for hotels etc...all you need to do is get on the bike, start riding and stop making excuses. Thanks for this Bruce, I need to start following your example a bit more I think! 👍
Mate, I just head north to Scotland whenever the weather breaks. My wife tracks me on her phone. She knows me so well, that as I'm getting tired. A choice of 3 pubs/B&B pop up on my phone. I just select the one I want and she sorts it. Top girl.
Ha Ha that’s brilliant! 👏👍
Cheers Matt, aye this type of thing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it can certainly be done 👍
Well done Bro, the wee Sinnis is a nice look’n bike to start off on.
I find it amazing the number of guys who say they don’t rate that run from Inverness to J o G it’s one I really enjoy especially when it’s quite 😉
Cheers Norrie, aye it’s not a bad wee bike, certainly for the price 👍
Aye the Inverness to JoG run is great fun
Hopefully your vision came back. Well done! 😎👍🍻
Thanks Garth,
Aye it cleared up a few days later ta 👍
Well done Bruce, proving that anything is possible even on a small bike.
Now you need to do it on the Honda Cub!
The Cub is faster than the Sinnis actually, we found that out in the Big Little Adventure series 👍
Very good. When I go touring on my 125 Super Cub, I don’t find I’m holding all the traffic up on A and B roads. I Have more fun on the small bike than on my litre plus tourer. That’s why I don’t have it any more. Reckon one of those Sinnis things might be in my future.
Good job that man!
Brilliant , you are a star sir!
Cheers David 👍
I'm inspired. My Varadero 125 is going to Scotland next year, you mark my words.
Excellent stuff, I love going to places on wee bikes, it gives you more time to appreciate the surroundings whilst at the same time giving me the feeling of progress and movement which I need on a trip 👍
Thats a great looking bike to be fair, great video.
Great video, 🏍️👍.
Great video. I live not far from Lowestoft and believe me you found the most attractive point.
Ha Ha love it!
You came to my home town! Lowestoft ! Wish I knew I'd love to have met you. I agree ness point is quite disappointing, the local council is looking at improving this location, you can check the website out at ness point and put a suggestion in! Great video Bruce, ride safe.
Well done on a 125 that was tough.🏴
Hats off to you Bruce I couldn't do it your a better man than me.
Ha Ha thanks Neil, I just have a VERY stubborn streak at times bud 😬🤷♂️🤦♂️👍
Congratulations! I have the 2018 model and this Saturday did 800km in 13 hrs from Brittany to Toulouse. My first proper long distance run. Found it surprisingly comfortable and I agree that the fuel gauge is very inaccurate, but at least in the right direction. I am still getting to know the bike, but I start looking for petrol when i hit 300km. That means refilling with about 10 lt of petrol. never had a chance to run the tank dry, so I don’t know if it really fits 14 litres. I am only 5’6 and the screen throws the wind right onto my helmet. Add to that the turbulence of lorries you don’t have the speed to overtake and you end up with serious buffeting and noise. Bought and aftermarket extension, plugs and a neck tube and it is now more manageable. This is only my second bike so I don’t have a good comparison point, but i found it spacious, not bad on the vibration, good gear ratios and nimble in tight traffic. I bought mine used for 1700 euros and 5000 and it was a steal. I just love it. Because of the speed i wouldn’t recommend it if you want to gain on distance, but if time is not an issue and you want to take it easy, then this is a cheap and cheerful way to do it
ABSOLUTE HERO! To all of us here! Just wish we could get passed the men in white coats to join you 🤪❤
Legend 🤟.
I've honestly got no idea how you managed to do that in such a short space of time... I rode from Manchester to Monmouth last weekend, and I was knackered after 150 miles of A & B roads!
He is a superhuman mile-crunching machine! I would be wrecked after the first leg I think... Probably need a week to recover too lol.
Ha Ha thanks folks - it’s just what you’re used to. I’ve always done big miles and spent long times on the bike, plus I’m a very stubborn person so when I set my mind on something, I make it happen, no matter how uncomfortable 😬🤦♂️🤣👍
I did a 750 mile ride in a day on a 125 once. Even did the sleeping anywhere with my lid on. At one point plod woke me up to check I hadn't somehow fallen off and left the bike stood on its stand. One sleep was very cold so I curled up to the hit engine.
To be fair I was 18 back then though!
Well done a mini epic !
Bruce you would get people to join you.
1) Cause of the challenge, absolutely mental and good crack.
2) Because it's with you and you are hilarious.
Great vid ...... Keep them coming. I think you should do one on those electric scooter like we had as kids...... Again hilarious
Cheers Scott 👍
