Lexmoto LXR SE 2019
About me
I’m a 49 year old male, 5’8” tall and weigh about 15 stone 5. I only started riding bikes again in 2015 and this is my second 125 as my last bike was totalled in a crash.
Why did you choose it?
I loved the colour and the overall look of the bike.
What is good about it?
As a package it's great and to be fair there aren't any really bad points.
What could be improved?
The only thing I would say to improve the bike would be better tyres on a new bike like this.
What is the economy like?
The furthest I have ridden without filling up is about 345 miles.
Any mods or upgrades?
The only upgrade I have done is to replace the tyres with Dunlop Sport.
How is the engine?
I've never had a problem with the engine.
How does it handle?
The LXR SE handles great in all weathers.
What are the brakes like?
The brakes are perfect.
Is it comfortable?
I ride to my parents when I can, which is about 100 miles away from me and so yes I find it very comfortable.
How reliable have you found it?
Very reliable.
What's the servicing frequency and cost like?
I’m due my 3rd service at 2,500 miles and it’s not expensive to get a service done.
To sum up
Overall I love the bike and wouldn’t change it for any other 125.
