Depends on the model, some are worse than others as with other manufactures (or companies than import and re-brand with a different badge). Arrow is as slow as anything (i own one) and reports are that the XTRS is the worst model, no experience so you'd have to wait for the input of others on that.

In for a penny out for half a penny you'd loose less money on the vixen or arrow as they're both £900-1000 OTR depending on dealership and warrenty offered etc than any other model, don't be fooled by the shiny plastics and useless gizmos such as the MP3 player on the Venom although upon viewing one in person it does look like a nice bike, in the showroom Rolling Eyes

I'd go with the Vixen > Arrow based on obtainable speed and value for money, both use the same engine but vixen owners generally seem to have been able or wanted to keep them for longer than I've seen any Arrow owner do.

What models you looking at?

Bought my 17 year old daughter a lexmoto dart 125 scooter 2014 model. £1000 including a helmet.

Great price but local dealer absolute waste of space for afterservice. South wales area.

All in all good value compared to piaggio 125 scooter at more than double the price.

Shes come off it twice, bent the mirrors and scratched the plastics etc.

So far the horn stopped working and the two tyres failed and had to have inertubes fitted. Both done on warranty though after pesistant knagging and had to pay for pick up and return of the bike.

If she gets 2 years out of it id be happy enough. Parts are plentifull etc from CMPO.CO.UK. I have used them too lol.

A mate of mine had the Lexmoto Vixen, their 125 cruiser-style bike. It had more problems than I've ever known for 1 motorbike to have... Including completely sheering off the exhaust bolts after rust setting in pretty much overnight. Felt really cheap too - Wouldn't trust them myself.

Well... they are really cheap.

The sum total of the (non self inflicted) problems on my 3 year old 7000 mile Vixen was a blown indicator bulb. Low mileage, garaged, ACF-50'd early and often, but ridden in all weathers. There are some shocking examples out there, mind, but you could pay £1600 more for a CBF125 that's rusting from new if you value a badge. That's a lot of fork gaiters and ACF-50.
