Hyosung XRX 125cc Sept '07 (57)

Review
Very reliable, very easy to get used to, and very cost efficient. This bike starts up first time every time, never had any problems, heard lots of good things about this bike, and read many great reviews about it too.

Fuel tank holds 8 litres and the bike does 90mpg. Being a 4 stroke engine means it doesn't eat up the petrol. It's a fairly quick bike off the spot, reached 50ph in 4 seconds, and done 71mph top speed. Could get 75mph if going downhill. So speedwise it's not amazing, but it's great for a run around and a lot better than some 4 stroke 125 bikes.

Has a nice beasty sound to it for a 125, being a 4 stroke gives it that "bigger bike" feel, not the lawn mower feeling you get with 2 strokes.

Handles really well around tight corners, nice to ride, comfortable to sit on. Been off road a few times, handles like a charm on dirt, but never tried slope climbing.

Cheap to run, pretty nippy for a 4 stroke 125, really reliable, nice appearance, looks and feels big, proper full size bike that doesn't make you feel like a child.

All in all it has to be one of the best 125 bike's in my opinion, it may lack in top speed, but it sure does deliver, performance wise, i'm very happy, done some long trips on this bike, never caused me trouble.

If you want a trails bike with a 125 engine, then this is is the bike to go for.

If you have any questions at all, anything about the bike whatsoever, feel free to just drop me an email at milkybarkiddo@hotmail.co.uk

Hope this helps

Hyosung XRX 125cc Sept '02 (52)

These bikes are all too often thrown in with the same group as the horrible £500 Chinese bikes (GY and the like), where in reality they are nothing alike. This is a proper bike costing £2250 - £2450 in its standard form (i.e. without the supermoto wheels, etc) and gives the main players a run for their money.

I just bought my RX (XRX) as a stop gap between bigger bikes, but by god i've been surprised with the quality of this 'not-so-little' run around.

The first thing that struck me was the size of the forks; nice oversized USD forks like you'd expect to see on a YZ or similar. Then i looked at all the cosmetic bits (as you do) and the plastics are of the same quality as you'd expect on Yamaha, Kawasaki or Suzuki.

After the cosmetic aspect i dove deeper into the mechanical side. The frame is solid and sturdy; more than i can say for some of the other bikes (main brands) i've had over the past few years. It even offers a drop down section for easy access when working on the engine; so handy.

The engine itself SOHC / 4V (or DOHC / 5V on the new models) is as bulletproof as they come. Starts first time - every time from the button and from the kick too. Although i'm not going to claim that its a powerhouse of rippling performance - it's a 125cc after all, the RX125 engine is easily the equivalent to that of the popular Varadero, but in this case is pulling far less weight.

Ride & performance wise this will not disappoint; a cracking performer, nippy off the mark, smooth acceleration through the gears with no lag or wait and a mind blistering 75+mph around the top end.

The one thing i do love about this bike is the scale; full size wheels, full size frame. It's a nice big bike (the way they used to make them, not this namby pamby XT nonesense that looks like a kids scooter). You sit on this bike and you know you're on a bike; you're on the balls of your feet and you have a full sized moto-x style bike under you.

So if you are considering a 125cc bike, be it a long term investment or like me as a stop gap to something else, you could do FAR WORSE than a Hyosung RX/XRX.

In Summary: A good sized bike, better than average performance, effortless to maintain (easy access to spares) and the running costs are almost non existent (£15 tax, almost nothing for insurance and round the world for only a thimble full of fuel)

Well worth a look and they hold their value too.
