New Lexmoto Adrenaline

[iginge]

Hi all,

The best thing about a new year is new and improved motorbikes after recently looking at the Pulse Adrenaline 250 I wasn't amazed but felt like it fitted the budget, I'm not comparing the 250 v 125 engine power here but the reason I mention it is that I felt the design needed a little spruce along side small adjustments here and there and after keeping an eye on the lexmoto website I noticed the upload of the "Lexmoto Adrenaline" initially thinking it was a new pulse on the wrong website, after some research and time the pictures have finally been released.

So a new 125cc supermoto comes to the market at only £100 more (not including registration fee) than the Pulse Adrenaline 125.. with a bunch of new features, could this be the new go to supermoto?

Lets start with the looks;

Colour Options;

Black / Red
Black / Orange
Black / Green
White / Blue
White / Yellow

Improved Features;

- New and improved plastics
- Change of styling
- Comes with stainless steel bolts (where possible, help decrease rust)
- LED Indicators
- Lithium Ion Battery
- Stainless steel exhaust
- Double walled rims
- Adjustable front and rear suspension
- Powered by a "Suzuki Licensed GS125" engine
- Better stock tyres

The websites picture demonstrate the bike with both the £99.99 lextek custom slip on exhaust and the stock can.. my money goes to the design of the lextek exhaust, makes the bike look that little bit nicer.

As the models only just been added to the website parts are still all over the place and not all there.. sure soon to be added, but going of all other models should be cheap enough for near enough everything.

So.. opinions?

I honestly thought this was spam until I checked your other posts. Still...

It'll be another rusty chinese piece of shit in 12 months. In 3 years it'll be so far gone that I doubt it'll go through an MOT without having to spend the value of the bike on replacement parts or bodging it beyond belief.

I've seen a few modern Lexmoto's and they always strike me as crap. Could it be the new go to supermoto? Only if everybody has lost their freaking minds. It even looks like crappy build quality in the photos.

My main question is, why the hell would anybody spend £2k on this POS when you could spend £700 on a CG or £1300 on a YBR, ride it around until you're 19, sell it, spend the extra £700 on doing your A2 then sell it and spend the £1300 on a Bandit 6 or similar. Or in that time save up more money and getting an A2 legal supermoto if thats your thing.

I just don't see the point in spending £2k on a pile of chinese scrap.

It's just another variant of a 125gy-2b. To be exact this one is xflm125gy-2b, disregard the lm part that lexmoto have added and it's a pioneer made one...... so it is a pulse adrenaline just with different bolt on tat.

Same old $hit

Sorry that's my honest opinion.

Really don't see the point in restricting a Bandit. You'll have a 220kg bike with 46bhp, when there are much better/lighter bikes out there.

Depends on the commute... I wouldn't have one if I had to do a lot of urban riding, they're too top heavy and dimwitted below 30mph.

Urban commuting is like 99% of my riding, until recently where I've had to go from on multiple long distance trips, think riding through the city centre has taught me the art of filtering.

Anyhow.. is their a like a list of commuter bikes £1,000 - £,2,000, I'm aware common ones are like Kawasaki ER5, Suzuki Bandit, GPZ 500 etc.

If I had cash to spend, I'd get a GSXR1000 for the best commuting experience with that budget.

If I wanted to save money, I'd consider a GPZ500s.

Doubt it would match up to my mighty Varadero 434.3 miles since Monday the week isn't over yet.

It is going to be difficult finding a replacement worthy it will have very big boots to fill I am considering buying another for work and a sports bike for sunny days.

Looking at them brakes I'd say you would have to be nuts going over 20mph. Would love to see one do an emergency stop, believe my old CG with drum brakes were better.

As mentioned, build quality looks awful even in the marketing pictures.

That front brake disc looks like its been made of cheese and is desperately trying to restrain from going mouldy while the picture is taken.

Same old crap that will rust to bits in no time.

It would make much more sense to spend less on a used, looked after bike that will retain its value until you can buy the bike you really want.
Am sure it will appeal to many a new buyer though as it's styled similar to its bigger / well known brothers and has a 'features' list that sounds cool.
