awful junk
a local dealer took one in px, 2021 with 6000 miles, it would only bump start but it did turn over well on the starter, checked valve clearances found they were all over the place so rectified and would still only bump start, checked compression and it was well down, checked lexmoto feedback and sold it at auction

I’m 5 foot 11 with a 35 inch inside leg and I’m quite interested in a Lexmoto LXS 125. I’ve heard mixed things about the bike but the main thing I’m undecided on is the riding position. I’ve heard it’s quite sporty but also neutral, but then I’ve also heard that it’s sporty and you have to hunch over the tank to be comfortable which doesn’t sound ideal for a first bike.
If what people are saying about the riding position being sporty but neutral where you can lean forward but can also sit more upright that sounds good but just wanted to get some anecdotal experience really.
I do plan on sitting on one but I’d need to get someone to drive me down to the dealer which is about 2 hours so would rather be confident before taking the plunge.
Thanks for any advice! Josh |
Chink bikes get blasted on here by the ones who've never owned a Chink bike, but generally get decent reviews by the ones who have.
I had a Zontes and I honestly loved it. Had some small issues but overall it served me well for three years and thousands of miles through all weather and all seasons as a daily rider/ commuter.
Lexmoto, I've had to stop and help a couple guys on Lexmotos, nothing serious, one time all that was needed was a jubilee clip on a hose to get them going again.
So, it will probably see you alright if you treat it right. Don't expect to get anything back out of it in re-sale at the end of the day. You're going to get half the money you spent on it back.
Just go try sitting on one, you might like it, you might hate it. Don't know till you try. No need to be shy, just go to the dealer, they expect people to just come have a look and a shot. Probably won't get to test ride a Lexmoto first, they normally get built to order and punted out the door but ask anyway you don't know till they tell you. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

Welcome to the world of biking. Nice looking bike that LXS.
....although I think you should buy my CBR 400 and get a restrictor fitted |
