Guys....another great unprejudicial review. I admire the way you judge a bike in the real world without preconceptions of who and where it was made. Great viewing on this late winter wet weekend👍👍
Pike Bobstar Thanks Pike! You’ve pretty much summed is up! We aim to take every bike for what it is and put ourselves in the shoes of the 99% of people who would buy that bike. And we loved the Sinnis Hoodlum!
Nice bike solid good buy I would like to have one
I got one in January bloddy love it my first bike at 38 years old 👍
Excellent! Yes we loved it too! Way way better than expected (and we were expecting it to be good!).
How's it holding up?
I've just bought mine this morning. Being delivered tonight. First bike at 36. Excited much 😂
Thanks so much for the review. I've been doing a lot of research and was first looking at a keeway superlight but this review has swerved me into buying the hoodlum!
Get it it’s really nice! 👍🏼
Thanks for this informative review! I'm aiming to do my CBT in a months time and was thinking of getting the Hoodlum as my first bike. My dad was a little worried about the quality of these Chinese/British bikes, but your review won him over! :)
13GoldenSun Excellent! It’s a great bike actually and we’re pleased to hear that you’re becoming a biker 👊🏼
Great review, very positive. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the bike with features like the foot boards, and rubber mounted indicators. Amazing for the price!
Well said! Thanks for the support! Make sure to subscribe to see the bikes we're reviewing this week!
Flippin heck chaps, after months of researching had chosen a Lexmoto Michigan as my 1st bike @ 60 years old, now after watching your Hoodlum vid I'm back to trying to make my mind up, but non the less a brilliant, pragmatic, sensible, and VERY helpful review, many thanks, Paul
Sorry to put a spanner in the works! Yes the Hoodlum is great! 👍🏼
Great review. Just put down a deposit on a brand new Hoodlum in black with a Toro exhaust at Sinnis HQ in Brighton today. Can’t wait for it to be delivered. Cheers guys. Ride safe.
Awesome! And Thanks! One of the best 125’s out there 👍🏼
I really like your reviews, they are very well thought out, edited and presented. I particularly like the idea of the two perspectives. I feel from watching this I could buy one of these for my daughter and granddaughter (both 5ft 6) as their first bike and still have a bit of fun on it myself as a 6ft 3 owner of a 1200, 500 and 250. The two year warranty is reassuring and the price is very inviting.
Thanks my friend. We’re glad it is helpful 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for another nice review chaps, nice to see reviews for learner legal bikes. Also great adventures to be had on small bikes.
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Love the review I'm 20 years old and about to go for my CBT and I was dead set on the Keeway for my first bike but I have a mate who owned one and it packed up after a few months of ownership but this seems like a good alternative, liked and subscribed
Ausirias Thanks buddy! Welcome aboard! The Sinnis Hoodlum is awesome!
I am planning to get me CBT and I am 34 years old 6 foot tall. I am definitely going to get this bike after seeing the older gentlemen fine quite comfortable on the bike. Thanks a billion.
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
Did you get it? What is it like to ride as a taller rider? I’m 6ft 1 and absolutely love the thought of having one, but I’m put off by the slightly smaller frame. Does it feel like your knees are tucked to your ears?
@@yestynmullan1553 Hello I ended getting the Keeway superlight. The bike has plenty of power to full me large arse (21 stones 6 feet) up any incline. And it looks wonderful.
Although I wish it was a Harley though.
Superb reveiw guys watched lots your videos on 125cc bikes this 1 ticks every box sounds superb!! When lockdown over be taking my CBT and getting my 1st Bike 👍🏼👍🏼
George Harkins Thanks George! Yes the Hoodlum is a superb 125!
excellent review with both presenters being clear in their comments.
Thankyou for the informative video, I am sold on getting one of these in the near future. I had an accident on a bike about 10 years ago and my wife wouldn't let me get another bike. I have been mentioning this one to her as a starter bike to get back on the road and eventually build up to a higher cc of bike.
Thanks buddy. It’s a great bike and not fast enough to get yourself into situations
Great review video, very honest and quite nicely detailed. Surprisingly nice bike. Ride safe and stay safe guys. Cheers!
Tony Thanks bro! We really enjoyed riding this bike, and its so inexpensive!
This review was absolutely spot on, lovely bike, I'll be the proud owner of one of these within the next couple of months.
Ultra TV Awesome! We hope you love it!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Maybe you could answer me a quick question mate, I weigh 21 stone and I'm wanting a 125cc, I also live in a very hilly town in England. Would this bike pull such weight up a steep hill? Or maybe you know a bike that could? thanks mate.
Ultra TV All 125’s are pretty gutless because of having to meet bhp restrictions. You will probably end up in first gear at low speed. For future reference, go for a Harley Davidson or BmW R 18 which have masses of torque snd are more roomy
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks for the quick reply mate, I'll have a look around.
A great review from a proper biker! You speak da real stuff, Nice one mate.
Thanks very much!
Bloody brilliant review 👌. Good job chaps
Thanks 😊 Nice of you to say 👊🏼
Picking my one up tomorrow. Thanks for the review ✌🏼
awesome! Let us know how you get on with it !
@Matthew Connolly How is it in hindsight?
@@pododododoehoh3550 great bike, still loving it. Have almost rode 1000 miles on it already and had first service no issues at all. Would definitely recommend if getting a 125 and want cruiser style
About to purchase this, Thanks for the video and help!
Glad I could help!
Great review made up my mind, 1st bike pick one up tomorrow. Cheers 🤙
Great! Let us know how you get on! Really nice bike, and it handles so well
Love it handles a treat 😁 not to bad sound for 125 stock exhaust too.
Oh my days, that bike sounds like a 600cc and yet you’re a tall guy like me, you’re fitting on it just right 👌🏼
Yes it’s surprisingly good
what a surprise ;;; a 125 that sounds good , looks good , and cheap. and no - you do not look silly on it, probably the most informative review yet.
simon gilbert Thanks Simon. Actually a really nice bike, we enjoyed it
My son is getting this bike in 2 weeks brand new, first bike 🏍 loved the review
Oh wow great! Let us know how he gets on with it 👍🏼👍🏼
How did he get on with it?
Wow, Im glad you did a review of this bike. My trainer told me he wants me to practise on the road for a few months before I do the practical parts for the A licence, so Im now looking at a 125. A guy in the area is selling me his for a very good price. Only 2 yrs old and besides some tiny rust in perfect condition. Looks awesome too and from your review seems to be a good bike to have. Im especially glad about the gear indicator. Sometimes I was thinking about other stuff during the CBT and forgot which gear I was in lol.
Haha 👍🏼 It’s a great bike 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I saw it earlier to have a look in person. It really looks great too. Btw, Im at your Sycamore dealership tomorrow. Want to spend a few hours going through the bikes Im interested in. Hope they have them all in stock.
@@drsparwaga Pop upstairs to say hi to Darcy 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Will do.
Only good review on this bike! Keep it up, your videos are great 🤘🏻🔥
Thanks buddy! Check out tonight’s review!
Great video i couldn't decide between the keeway superlight or the sinnis hoodlum and after watching this video im getting the sinnis hoodlum you talked about it on a rider point of view instead of a sales point of view which i really like
Ahh that’s awesome Dale! We think you’ll be very pleased with your decision. Glad the video helped 👊🏼
Awesome review! Just bought this bike
Great to hear enjoy your new bike 👍🏼
Just bought one as passed my Cbt last week, first ride out yesterday, so responsive and as a first bike really easy to ride, gear change smooth and so far I can’t fault it, beautiful looking bike too, many thanks for this review, watching made me realise I made the right choice!
Excellent! Thanks buddy
Is it still running well?
@@imamshamil5185 I’ve had mine for a while nd put 5k km on it and it hasn’t broke down on me yet
As long as you keep it good conditions it’s reliable
@@willy3169 did you buy the bike new?
@@imamshamil5185 no had 500miles on it already
I bought the Hoodlum a few months ago, to get comfortable on a bike before jumping to a HD Iron1200. Funny, you guys reviewing this bike, as the first video I saw when looking at Harley Davidson bikes on CZcams was you guys too! The 883 video with the grenade exhaust, always great to see your content!
That’s great to hear Thomas! Thats a good progression too 👊🏼
MrDarcy & the Ol'Man oh and I fitted the Toro exhaust yesterday in Matte black, sounds so nice.
Thomas Clark yes it certainly does! Also you’ll probably find it’s a bit quicker
Another great review guys...never even heard of these bikes. But it's a smasher in the looks department. Some really nice design touches on this bike with such a basic budget. I reckon this bike could do well.
Thanks buddy. Yes it’s a sweet little bike! Great fun
Great review! Helped me make a decision on which to start out with before getting to a Harley 👌🏽
Scott Lindsay That’s great! You’ll love the Hoodlum!
I'm moving to the Lake District soon. I will do my cbt, buy a Hoodlum and I'll be riding through this world all alone.
Sounds like a perfect plan!
On the devil's path
, Until you die?
@@roymorrishx This life is short. That's a fact.
Great review man 👍, got myself a sinnis apache and installed a toro exhaust system to it, sounds great, sinnis bikes are brilliant 125cc bikes
Thanks buddy! Sounds awesome 👊🏼
For a 125 cc it's not bad , it looks quite cool 😎 and sounds bigger than it is , 11 b h p seems above the normal for a 125 , price wise cheap what 17 year old love that , wish they'd have been around when I was 17 , another good video, keep them coming 🏍👍 also be good if your getting older and need to notch down .
Yes good points bro 💯
I used to have an LXR 125cc but my bike was stolen while I was ill with covid its taken 2 months now and its affected my relationship, my family life, my work life and my mental health, the insurance paid nothing out. I'm hoping I get accepted for finance on this exact bike but in black as this review has made me seriously want one 😅 excellent review guys! Fingers crossed 🤞 I get accepted!
Ahh that sucks! I had a motocross bike stolen some years ago. Not insured, it took years to save up for another one
Great for young and old alike...I'm 60 and co love it...£20 a year road tax,£10 a month insurance, 100 mpg,£10 oil change,free parking,ride in bus lanes...you tell me what's not to like..
Paul Cowell Yes 💯 % 👍
Wonderful review!
At the moment I drive the 50cc Hanway Raw50 Cafe Racer and am considering switching to this model in 2 years. With us in the Netherlands, the current car driver's license is due for an upgrade that will soon make it possible to drive a 125cc. Furthermore, I hope to be able to purchase a Hoodlum in the Netherlands by then. It remains to be seen how all developments will go, but this will definitely be my dream bike!
Thanks very much! That’s a great plan!
Just discovered your channel and I'm impressed - as a seasoned rider I really come to enjoy even a review of this so far unknown 125cc - as a 16-year old back in the days I'd probably had sold a kidney for one of these :)
lamilumag Thats great! We’ve got some incredible bikes lined up very soon! Please subscribe if you haven’t already 👊🏼
MrDarcy & the Ol'Man I of course already have!
lamilumag Awesome thank you 👊🏼
Thanks guys, I am 54 and looking to get back on two wheels, leaning towards the Hoodlum.
Great! Nice bike 💯
Did you get it? If so, how is it?
Thanks, amazing review!
Good review! One of the likes so far came from me.
Thanks Thomas 👊🏼
Wow; not heard of this till I saw your video. Very nice and the price!!!
Biceps&Bikinis Really OK well that’s good because it’s a great bike and we’re glad you now know about it 👊🏼
I love me a good small bike! Dailied a rebel 250 for years.. and many scooters and mopeds before that.. only ride a 500 now because im bike only and needed something that could handle highway speeds comfortably.. 84 vt500 ascot. 500cc water cooled shaft driven six speed! awesome commuter thats still relatively small for parking on sidewalks and stuff.
I've got the Lexmoto Michigan, the same bike different badge, and love it. I think the Michigan has higher bars and a little less HP but still massively fun to ride.
OK cool. Isn't it a lovely bike!
I never ever heard of this manufacturer before; i think it is not available here in germany - what is very unfortunate.
Another cool bike for young people who are looking for an alternative style to KTM etc. with fewer plastic parts.
And the price is more than only all right.
By the way: the soundtrack fits much better than the one i complained about last time 😉🤘
Thx for that
Michi Schalusenbach Yes what a bike! Back to the Heavy Metal! Funny though, somebody else complained about Heavy Metal on another video!
hey you can buy the bike also in germany. it is selled as explorer inverro 125 at atu (Same bike, its the Zongshen RA1 Euro 4 which is selled with few different names)
Michael Pinjusic Thanks.
I have this bike. Love it
That was a great review but I can’t forgive the white socks…. 10:55 😮
Good work guys 👍
Lol 😂
Looks nice. I mean if i was 18 and starting on a A1 lisence i'd buy this.
Borrowed it's looks from a sportster. Looks cool. And must have amazing milage on a 125cc engine. Perfect student motorcycle.
Yes 💯👍🏼
Very good review
Thank you! 👍💯
Mine's same just called Lexmoto Michigan and I'm over the moon as I've just got mine in a lovely battalion green matt colour :D
Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
How’s the bike long term?
Hi
Thank you for all your videos, yoi guys are doing a great service to us all.
I've just got the my CBT and about to get a 125cc.. I'm just not sure if I should get a hoodlum or a old Honda or something cheaper...
Do you have a recommendation for any cruiser... would be great help...
Thanks buddy.
The Hoodlum is a nice bike.
Hondas are THE most reliable.
125 cruisers are virtually non existent .
👍🏼👍🏼
Hi guys loving the channel as a new viewer, Im 19 and hopefully doing my cbt next month ive been looking at some bikes and love the cruiser style. However ive been torn between the sinnis hoodlum and the keeway superlight what would you recommend! keep up the good content very informative for people stepping into the motorbike world!
We haven’t reviewed the keeway so can’t comment but I reckon they’re similar in quality. Go for the one you like the look of best
This could be the one! Thank you
Awesome
Hey guys great video your both really likable keep it up could you get your hands on a keeway superlight 125??
Thanks buddy. Maybe one day
Hey guys, great video. I'm getting back on the road via my CBT and I'm stuck between this and the UM Renegade Vegas. So this video helps a lot. One thing, where would you suggest to put the L plates? Obviously I don't want to be sticking the adhesive ones on the the body work, but the positioning of the number plate has thrown me a little bit.
You could have it lower down on the rear mudguard 👍🏼thanks buddy
Excellent reviews guys! Out of interest which do you prefer out of this and the previously reviewed hyosung aquila 125?
Seating looks a bit more cramped on the aquila but it has the v twin,liquid cooled with 14bhp...although 30kgs heavier than the hoodlum.
To be honest the Sinnis is better. It's more alive and it is fun to ride. The hyosung is very nice too, but it has to rev its nuts off to get anywhere! The weight makes a BIG difference!
Loving the backing music 🎶 🤣
Ahh ok thanks. We don’t use music anymore 👍🏼
For only £220 for that exhaust, I think I may be getting one of these and putting that exhaust on myself!
Good idea. It’s an easy job
Fantastic, honest, down to earth review. You guys are great. I'm looking to do my CBT although I'm a little late to the party (48). I've been looking at Keeway Superlight & Lexmoto Michigan until I saw this review. Now I'm really torn. You say it is restricted, how easy would it be to derestrict and what would the real world benefits be once a rider had moved on past the CBT stage of riding. Many thanks.
Thanks buddy, great to see a new person getting into riding. We actually realised it’s not restricted that’s just how much power it produces. You could do your cbt and ride one around for a few months before moving onto your full license if that’s what you’re looking at doing. Once you’ve done your full license there’s many many options out there
What did you end up going with?
Had to put a hold on it due to health issues. Decided to go straight to full license when I'm able.
Good video 👌👍😀
Thanks Blondie 👊🏼
Love the sound of the exhaust and the bike looks very nice to. Great video guys 👍
Jo Jo Yes it’s really deep and Hoodlum is an apt name!
Got one of these as my first bike at the age of 45, 80 mpg is a lot less than I'm getting, I'm seeing over 200 miles out of £11 of fuel and I'm not going that slow 😁
Brilliant! We’re glad it’s going well
I'm an older gent and considering this as a first bike... how long have you had it?
@@NefariousOaf I've had it a couple of months now, I just didn't feel ready to direct access my way to a bigger bike, I have a lot to learn and the hoodlum is doing a good job helping me so far.
Was looking at old Yamahas and Suzukis, but for £2,200 brand new, I might look at getting one of these. Im 5'9", and so if its big enough for you at 6'3", I reckon it could be okay for me! Need to go and get another CBT now. I got one a few years back and then things got in the way and I never ended up getting a bike or taking my test
That's just it; old Japanese bikes are at least this much! It's a great bike for the money!
Did your toro exhaust have a baffle in ? And how easy is it to remove the baffle, nice video mate
Hi, we’re not sure. This was a press bike. We review all kinds of motorcycles so we get given them for a week or two.
Looks good.. Tempted to get one.. Only wish they had an old school rev and speedometer.. Not a huge fan on the digital stuff..
That’s the same on many bikes tbh. I wouldn’t worry about that
For sure..
Just watched your review of the hyosung 125..good stuff 👍🏻
Watched a CZcams vid of a guy who took one from France to the Ukraine during lockdown to see his gf....
I'm 47 and as part of my midlife crisis I got my CBT last year 😂, want to get the full 125 licence ASAP and then seriously thinking of going from London to Vienna (back roads, 1000km) to see an old flame.. Just for the hell of it 🤟🏻...
Which of the two bikes, or any other, would you recommend for such a journey? Might take panniers and a backpack, travelling light.. Can't see myself camping these days, more of the dodgy motel stuff..😂
Appreciate your advice and vids 👍🏻
@@chrisbrown4396 it’s a long way for any 125 tbh, but either one. Perhaps Hoodlum more comfortable and it felt more powerful
I have one of these, I’ve had it for about 6 months now, passed my CBT with it only one problem it’s not powerful enough but you can’t blame it as it’s a 125
Edit: I was hit by a car a few days after I left this comment
Hope you’re doing well mate
@@joshual-jones9664 I’ve gone mad, I actually think I’ve got an addiction to bikes
I broke my thumb and can’t ride
@@thartiustheslayerofthots7088 noooooo. That is such a shame, but you’ll be back! I am going to do my CBT soon and have recently grown a love and addiction for motorcycles, the sinnis hoodlum is the bike I am looking at! Hope you get better soon though mate.
@@joshual-jones9664 I have 4 more weeks of not riding, my cbt took me three tries so be patient with it youll get it eventually
Did you have the db killer removed in this video? Got the Hoodlum on pre-order and the toro exhaust at 31! Just love the ratty aesthetic
Darreign Clark I think so: it came that way so guessing. Sounds awesome
What would you say is the better all round option when deciding between the keeway super light and this, great vid 👍🏼
The Sinnis is the better option in our opinion, and they want to have happy customers; not just make money
You should take a look at the mutt mongrel
Thx for the review guys, will be getting one in the next couple of weeks, one question, when you said it's restricted, what exactly did you mean ? And can it get unrestricted :)
All 125's sold in the EU have to have their power restricted to under 14bhp. Usually this can be 'undone' by a few modifications (not legal for insurance/age unless you are over 19 and have passed A2 licence, then it's ok as long as you tell insurers).
No, you can't de restrict an air cooled, 4 stroke 125. Why do you think all the air cooled 125s make considerably less than the legally allowed 15hp. Mr Darcy or the old man are deeply misinformed on this one.
Fab review, as usual. Could someone go from one of these to a Fat Bob or Fat Boy Harley?
LeftyOtool Thanks! It’s a big jump but yes in theory, although the difference in torque especially, is like rowing boat to Titanic!
MrDarcy & the Ol'Man thanks! Ultimately I want one of the fatties but I’m not very patient. It probably makes sense to get something like a 48 special after the Hoodlum and then one of the bigger Harleys. We shall see!
Well done! If you had to choose between this one or Aquila??
We would go go for this one because it rides really nicely, is lighter and at an unbeatable price
I like it nice bike 👍
Yes Paul it really is very good!
Hey guys great review! Love love love this bike! I'm a cruiser style girl through and through, so this ticks all of my boxes, i do have a question though, i dont know how i feel about floor boards... Do you think it would be possible to change to pegs? And if so would it be cheap/easy?
How do you feel about floor boards? Do you think it's easier or harder compared to pegs?
Thanks Jessica. We love cruiser style girls! Actually I prefer boards; they are comfortable and also allow a bit of extra room for foot placement. You could very easily swap them out for pegs I’m sure. I don’t know which ones but there’s bound to be some that fit. Have you subscribed? We need more female subs 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan hey guys thanks for the reply! And i sure am! I subscribed after watching the first video I saw of you guys, which was the UK licensing process, that video was very helpful! And now i know exactly what i have to do to get my license!
@@jessicasoffe2530 Awesome! Thank you!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan no problem guys! Looking forward to future videos! 👍
Hi. Speaking about boards/plates/pegs(if decide to replace) are they so low so can't really lean and keep you as straigh as possible? Do you touch the road on roundabout /corners etc? I love the look and rider position. Leaning is my only concern. Cheers
Oh my gosh the noise is amazing. I wonder if the Toro exhaust can be fit on the Aquila and add a little more power on that
They may do one for the Hyosung
Knowing there is a possibility I'm going to check out a store today. All I somehow want is the Hyosung to have that extra power or even derestrict them, As I just love the look. But there isn't much Hyosung Stores in Manchester to really have a feel for it. Thank you for these videos. They have been really insightful.
Great review guys. How does it compare to the Keeway Superlight? Which would you get given the choice and why? Thanks!
Thanks Ryan! The Hoodlum would be our preference because it’s aesthetically more pleasing, it has a narrower front wheel which makes the handling much more responsive, and it’s riding position with the tall wide bars is way better
MrDarcy & the Ol'Man Thanks guys. Earned a sub here 🤟🏻 All the best.
Just one thing... is it true that Lexmoto Michigan is the same bike or ... ? Appreciate your help. Apologies for all the questions 😂
Ryan Smith It looks like it shares some common parts, but not entirely the same.
Ryan Smith Thanks Ryan! Much appreciated 👊🏼
Mr Darcy hi, thanx for the review of the Hoodlum... Both you & OL man also performed a review on the SINNIS Terrain Jul 17, 2020.
Can you help?! as i can't make up my mind. Hoodlum? Terrain? Terrain? Hoodlum? it's just for 6 months while i complete my combined
i have a lot of bike experience 50's to 1000's... [ i was a bike-shop repair man] both on and of the road.
My recent [1st ever] CBT instructor says, I just need to lose the bad habits
Can you guys help at all? I WILL NOT hold you guys to any 'You said's' Please advise. Here's To A Better 2021 .roly
No problem buddy! Hoodlum! 💯👍🏼
This bike looks amazing! Can you compare it to keeway superlight 125cc regarding the space on the bike. Specificially legs positioning. I'm also 6'3 but there are no sinnis hoodlom available in my country, and the keeway is closest thing to hoodlom available.
Thanks yes! We can’t get any Keeways at the moment
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks anyway!
Wow it looks beautiful! I am soon making A1 license, I am not the naked bike or supersport guy, I like Cruisers and Choppers more! I think this is the bike I will go for!
Edit: I have a question, do they ship? And if yes all around Europe?
Yes we agree. If you go to Sinnis UK website you can send them a message about your question.
MrDarcy & the Ol'Man Thank you I just contacted them👍 I will inform you what they said when I get an E-Mail back!
ProfessionalGamerPhil 🤞
@@MrDarcy-OlMan They still havent answered me, I think I will go for a yamaha Virago instead🙁
ProfessionalGamerPhil They will I’m sure. I know they are still on reduced staff because of Covid-19.
Hi good vid, the HOODLUM is exactly the same bike as the Lexmoto Michigan, and cheeper.
Yes there seem to be lots of ‘stock’ bikes from China which companies put their own stamp on.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Hi once again, there are just three differences twin horns on the sinnis bars lower and adjustable shocks, other than that TWO GREAT BIKES.
@@malcolmgillam5910 Yes absolutely
Hey Chaps, great video that led to me making an order for this bike. Can you confirm if it is restricted or not?
It’s within the legal power limit so in that sense it’s restricted because a 125 could make more.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks
What type of torro exhaust have you got on the sinnis?
As far as I know, it's specially made by Toro for this bike.
Wish we could have these out in California.
Fire different pump on it
Hi. Great review 👍 I am 6ft 5 and 17 stone, would this bike be suitable? Don't want to look ridiculous on my first bike! 37 years old, cbt next week and plan to ride 125cc for this season to get experience before das next year and a big bike. Cheers
There aren’t any ‘big’ 125’s but this is bigger than most, and it’s really good too 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan cheers for the reply 👍 capable of hauling my ass along at a comfortable 60mph?
Honda Varadero is a big 125
I'm 38 and just decided to start on my motorbike journey so did the CBT but due the fact I've never driven motorbike aside the CBT training I'm thinking to ride a 125 for a while before I go for full licence. Would you guys recommend this one to someone like me?
Yes definitely 👍🏼👍🏼
@ 0:54 what bike is in the background? great vid! thanks
It’s a Triumph Bobber 👍🏼
Hi there, just curious what the difference between this bike and the lexmoto michigan? they look very similar with similar specs...but this is almost twice the price and im curious as to why. Is it just for the name?
GingerDeadMan I know that some factories in China produce a base bike from which companies like Sinnis or Lexmoto put on their stamp. It does look mighty similar though. I’ll ask my contacts next time I see them and see what they say.
So regarding 4:07, does the bike not start at all with the side stand down even in neutral? Thanks (Yes = It will start, No = It won't start, just to avoid confusion)
No it won’t start with the stand down at all, it’s designed to do this. It’s not a fault, it’s to remind the rider that the stand is still down so they don’t ride off with it down
Brilliant video, not sure whether I'd prefer this or the Michigan though
James Curley Thanks James! 👊🏼 Decisions decisions!
I have never heard of a Sinnis.
Looks like a lot of motorbike for the money.
But the Ol'Man will remember the MZ is the 70's that looked like a lot of motorbike for the money but we wouldn't buy.
Is this the same scenario?
Maybe a good second hand buy.
Yes I remember the MZ and agree! The Sinnis is pretty good really
looking for a 125cc to obviously drive until i'm more confident to go with anything more powerful. get my CBT, practice on a 125cc for a year, then go for my full licence since i'm 25yo. Need my freedom, and don't feel confident enough to drive a car so a bike is more suitable. only problem is, i'm 24 stone, trying to lose weight, working out daily. But, will this be ok for me to ride? problem is, I live in a town called Airdrie in scotland, and if you know airdrie, you know just hot large the hills are here, I think i'd have to push it up the hill every time XD
With the pipe this bike had, it’s more pokey than other 125’s we’ve ridden. You should be ok. The guy who used to service our 50cc used to ride that round the block to test it and he was about your weight.
It won’t power up the hills but should get you there 👍🏼
Got mine yesterday. My first bike and I couldn't be chufter.
Awesome! 👍🏼👍🏼
How did it have good quality long term?
@davidb1892 unfortunately I was ran off the road n had it stolen. I did get a new one, which I've had a year now, but it's currently locked in my ex's garage
Would this be a viable alternative to the more expensive keeway k light?
Yes certainly.
I've been debating between the Sinnis Hoodlum and the Outlaw for a while now and I'm so torn; how would you say they compare to each other?
They are similar but also different in a few ways. The hoodlum has a more stretched out riding position due to the mini apes and forward controls. The outlaw is a more upright position with mid controls. Personally I prefer the outlaws riding position but that’s down to preference. Other than that they are extremely similar.
Aqui no Brasil ela se chama Dafra Horizon 150cc
Tenho uma 👊✌
Ok, realmente! Isso é ótimo
Would you recommend this bike for someone over 24 who’s learning to ride through direct access or would a more powerful bike be better?
Might as well get something a little more powerful. We like the offerings from Royal Enfield 👍🏼
Do you know any 50cc cruisers? I'm nearly 16 and I love the cruiser style
Alex Eynon I can’t think of any tbh. The UK used to have more 50cc’s but so few young people ride now, that there isn’t much choice
@@MrDarcy-OlMan that's ok thanks for the help anyway
Hi ya lads do you think the handlebars on this bike could be swapped out for something with a lower rise?? I'm new to bikes so I don't really know
Yes for sure 👍🏼👍🏼
i wanted one of these still too expensive unfortunately luckily for me i found an old 1999 suzuki gz 125 that someone turned into a bobber on facebook marketplace for £650 got that down to £550
Result! Great!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan yeah I'm really happy with it only thing I dont like is since it's old I have a hard job getting it started up in the cold gotta run it on the choke for a while
@@bigb5681 I remember that happening.
What's better this or the lemoto Michigan? Which bike has better wheels ?
All about the same quality 👍🏼
