Another Little Bike - 2020 Lexmoto Isca

[LoneWally]

So I took this out a couple of days ago. Which was handy cause i needed to go up the shop and it saved getting the Honda out. Very back to basic and cheap. But as a first bike you could do worse. I’ve got to admit I do enjoy jumping of 125’s now that I don’t have to daily one.

Not edited it yet, so if you've seen it your good . Its been mainly test rides. The CBR125R was a friends.The Royal Enfield's where at demo days, so group rides (I still have the Interceptor to put up). The Sinnis was a test ride at The Overland Event though they wereletting you go out by yourself. In all the cases so far its just been hour rides. Hense why I call them first rides.

The styling of the new 125s is coming along and I feel that with the increased costs and problems with employment security we could be looking at a period of boom for them.

Back in the '90s they knew how to make a good looking 125cc motorcycle.... they had decent engines back then too!

I like the Honda RC35. The Yamaha TZR wheels and tail you have there in the picture Hippo Drone reminds of the RC.

I thought the RC35 had a single sided swingarm and 8 spoke wheels? Stunning bike though, I wish we had the 400cc pocket-rockets back again!

Yes, the V4s were insane, 13,000 RPM with about 60HP out of a little 400cc engine.

But yes, I guess the swing arm was different. But I guess the edgy squared off design was popular for the time.

But maybe I was thinking of the RC-30 (VFR750R) for the tail design.

But then again here is the RC-35 too.
