I had the LXR SE for my first bike before passing my test it was a perfect bike to learn on. The size gives you a big bike feel and gives you the confidence. Had it for a year and no problems with it. Definitely glad I had it
@@KyranGreen-qo7jqTo be honest mate if you want something fast right now the fastest you can get brand new is the YZF R 125 but obviously it is much more expensive to get brand new. The LXR isn’t bad in terms of speed but given that they’re all 125s they’re all in a similar range but the YZF comes out at the top of the speed range
G'day Mark on first impressions it looks like a much bigger engined bike, 125 is two small for Australia road conditions except City use, great reviews as always, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Reminds me of a baby blade, love the colour although the black white and blue 💙 is nice too.. not that I'm a track person but I'd like a go on this around the track 😅. Great alternative to the usual sit up 125.. great review Mark ❣️ thanks xx
I learnt on a chinese bike (Sinnis Terrain) I did actually want a Lexmoto, New ones were out of my price level for the time,but the second hand Lexmotos were cheaper but were not in very good order - the issue with a lot of 125 cc owners is that they don't really either know how to maintain their bikes, or fail to want to as they see it as a gateway to the next bike or bigger bike after their test. This is a nioce bike though Mark and If I had the money at the time would have bought one....the only negative I can see with this very smart sleek looking bike is that it looks a lot like a Suzuki GSXR - which possibly could make drivers think you are on a faster bike and creep up your backside...just my opinion. Good review mate..as always
People still moan about the “Chinese Bike” thing, but I think they are a great bike for the money. I have had my Lexmoto for 4 years and had no issues with it, and now done 12k miles. Have always liked the LXR, but do like the exhaust on the LXS a bit better. Great review Mark. Cheers.
Great review Mark. I’m a new rider 53 years old love the look of this bike. Would you recommend it for someone? Has never rode a bike before? I’m doing my CBT with my 16 year old son in a couple of weeks what would you recommend? I’m 6 foot two keep up the great videos.
Hi yes these are great bikes for the money ....quite tall so would suit you at 6,2 ...also look at the naked style rss ? Etc they are easier to control for a complete beginner rather than a sports position Best wishes Mark
Hi mate amazing video as always wanted to ask a question im a new rider looking for a 125 bike i cant choose between the new sinnis smr supermoto 125 or the lexmoto lxr se just wanted to hear your thoughts and what you would personally have cheers ..
Hi many thanks:) I've actually just bought a lxr125se for myself !!! As a cheap run about I was that impressed with it ....the sinnis is nice but I'm not into the bolt upright position with no fairing plus it's very tall .....both are great...but I much prefer the riding of the lxr Good luck with your biking career Best wishes mark
I'm getting my first bike soon and love how large this bike looks as it doesn't seem like a 125, but unfortunately i'm 5'3. Do you have any other suggestions?
shame it isnt as powerful as the yamaha yzr125r. which will outperform this easily. but this does look really nice and i prefer the higher handlebars than the much more sitting forward yzr
Hi the tnt is great fun but limited performance about 55 mph flat out ....the lxr is a full size bike .... good performance and looks I prefer the lxr Cheers
As an American this bike confuses me. I understand that its appeal is for the UK and other countries but still, the bike has 600cc height ninja 400 weight but grom power?😂 whats the point?
Haha 😆 yes I get your point ....it's so that 17:year old learner riders in the UK can think they are Rossi lol This is all the power that is allowed at 17 in the UK Best wishes mark
For something that looks like a full sized bike its a shame they didn't try and give the full HP. I can understand why they chose not too its a shame nonetheless.
@@markpulling12 I said this on different video so having both bikes would you recommend someone going for a new lxs/lxr or a second hand Yamaha the one you got or the mt125
@@cbates2410 hi most 125 s are in reality about 65 mph ....ish ...the speedo will read ,alot more lol 😂 A good used yzf125 r or mt125 would give you the max speed I'd say for your 14 hp Cheers mark
Fr, my 2019 model keeps having people pulling over to the side to let me pass on A roads where I don't have the power to overtake comfortably lol. Even after riding it for 2 years I enjoy the bike. Shame that an A2 licence is pointless waste of money for me when I'm 24 in a year.

Thanks for that feedback...that's good to hear cheers mark
Is the lxr se faster than the lxr
@@KyranGreen-qo7jq hi no they both share the same engine and speed is the same:)
Cheers mark
I'm seriously thinking of getting an lxr for a first 125cc. But I want something that goes fairly fast. Would this be the right bike for me?

Excellent review, very clear and certainly convinced me to go and try and get one of these.
Many thanks

Thanks Martine ... really enjoyed riding a sports 125 for a change x
A nice looking 125. great video 👍
Mant thanks william :)
Lovely bike thinking of getting one got the lxs 23 plate but like the bigger look on the lxr probably will get one in 2025
love the rims
Great review, as always. If i heard correctly , for an extra £300 you get upside downs and tft screen, that has to be a bargin for those extras.
Yes £400 extra gives you TFT ...USD forks and alloy swingarm
I'd go for that one cheers mark
Very nice 125 for price.good as a winter blast.🤜🤛👍

Thanks Paul appreciate that 😊
Looks like a cracking motorbike for the price 👍
If you are a sportsbike fan, this is a neat 125cc one. There are some great Chinese bikes around now. Nick
Thanks nick ...yes lexmoto have definitely improved over recent years

Yes I think they are fine ...the key is to keep on top of the servicing..take care of them .. cleaning etc
Cheers mark
Great intro music 🤩
Yes I love it very funky 😁
Cheers mark
Great looker for the money 😎👌
They're sold in 🇰🇪 under the factory name TARO, pretty decent beginner bike.

Can you try do a review on a Kymco VSR 125?
Cheers!
nice sport bike look without the sport bike power.
Can imagine this would be great for younger/newer riders who wanna look cool without the deathwish.
Yes ...looks really cool...oh to be 17 again...there are some really nice 125s about at the moment
Cheers mark
I'm stuck between the LXR and the R125? Not sure on what 1 for a first bike?

@@markpulling12 cheers mate thanks for the reply will sure be going for the lxr se ride safe buddy.
@@markpulling12 also could you do a video on your lxr se would love to see a video on it
I'm getting my first bike soon and love how large this bike looks as it doesn't seem like a 125, but unfortunately i'm 5'3. Do you have any other suggestions?
Have a look at the lexmoto range like the RSS etc ...more naked street style they may suit better
Or zontes G1
Best wishes mark
shame it isnt as powerful as the yamaha yzr125r. which will outperform this easily. but this does look really nice and i prefer the higher handlebars than the much more sitting forward yzr
If these came with ABS they'd be awesome, my LXS crashed cause of front wheel lock but it was either that or having a shit driver smash into me
Can you get this in Norway?
Hi Mark. When you doing a triumph 400x and speed review??
In ten minutes time !!!!!
Best wishes mark
Can't see a reply fir some reason .love you reviews by the way .top man
@@roadrunner5555 doing the review now on the speed 400 :)
150-200 cc needed.
Am i the only one who feel it looks like a mini CBR1000RRR SP especially in that shade and rims
Hi Mark,
What would you say is a better bike:
Lexomoto LXR 125 or Benelli TNT 125?
Hi the tnt is great fun but limited performance about 55 mph flat out ....the lxr is a full size bike .... good performance and looks
I prefer the lxr
Cheers
@@markpulling12 thanks a lot! That’s super helpful. 🙏🏻
my friend's LXR just died with 11 miles on the clock, riding from dealership LOL
I see a commuter bike coming😂
Im only 5'5 so i dont recon ill be able to get this one as my first bike... anyone got any other 125cc suggestions?
These are very tall....have a look at cruiser or scrambler style bikes ....best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 thanks mate ill look into it hopefully i grow a little bit in my early twenties but if not I guess I'm stuck 😅

*Hi. DO i have to give theory test to ride this bike?*
Hi. No just a basic CBT training which is about a day
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 thanks mark.. and i have a car driving licence. i don't need provisional licence right?
@@mugstore99 yes correct....just do a CBT and I'm sure you are good to go :)
For something that looks like a full sized bike its a shame they didn't try and give the full HP. I can understand why they chose not too its a shame nonetheless.
Yes another 2 hp or so would give it an easy 70 mph performance cheers mark
@@markpulling12 I could imagine getting one at 16 year old and loving it.
*All show ..... No go* I agree 15bhp would have been a better bet.
Can the height be lowered?
Most bikes can have a simple lowering kit fitted to lower 30 mm or so ;)
Cheers mark
What top speed can this do I need something that can sit at 70 easy
70 mph absolutely flat out
60/65 is more likely
It's 12 hp go for 14 hp if you need a true gps 70 mph

Now, if Lexmoto put the engine and ABS of their RSS machine into this... They might just have a package that could spank the Yamaha R125...
Yes definitely hopefully they will at some point...that RSS is very good 👍
Never seen a 10 year old Lexmoto. Wonder why?
Looool
Believe it or not i have seen one
Shockingly tall for a bike with "superbike" aspirations, Voge 525 (a adventure bike) has a lower seat than this
