Lexmoto Tempest GT 125

run it until it goes wrong then bin it.
At this price point its basically a disposable item.

By then you will be able to ride a bigger bike.

Rear disc, FI, SS exhaust and linked braking on a Chinese 125...impressive. I want one.

 

Tnx man

 

What sort of end user QA/QC checks should be done with that... go over everything with a torque wrench?

 

My nephew bought one (against my recommendations)
He rode it for 2 years and covered 8 thousand miles on a cbt license until he took his big boy test.
Never missed a beat but corroded on fasteners and trim a lot quicker than a jap bike.

Dont get me wrong they are cheap disposable bikes but are put together a lot better nowadays. Lexmoto are pretty common in Europe now and the build quality has massively improved in recent years.

If i was 17 and needed a new bike for a year before I could ride a real bike i actually wouldn't discount it now.

There's a thread of a member on here that bought a Chinese bike and everyone said it wouldn't last a month.
His last updates were of him doing loads of miles on it.

 

I'm just approaching it the way I would approach a Ural... which is exponentially more expensive, but terrible quality control

 

"ural" is rooski for something to pee on
