guys and girls welcome back to the channel and today is another special one for me because it’s another brand spanking new model to the UK and I’m being the first person in the UK to actually have a ride of it i’m having an amazing run there are so many new bikes coming out and they all seem to be coming to Win Moto First for me to have a go on so let’s have a look what today’s bike [Music] is here it is so this is Moredelli’s allnew F125 and I’ve got to say aggressively priced at that so this bike is it’s priced at £2,499 so it fits in with the very lower end of the market as far as 125s go the difference with this bike is this it’s not an air cooled bike with 10 horsepower this is a liquid cooled bike with just under 15 horsepower so this is a bike with a low price that potentially can compete with the big boys let’s have a look around the bike usual way i’m reserving judgment on that big boys comment until I actually ride it but let’s have a look around i’ll throw some specs at you as we’re going and as always if you want to pass a comment if you want to talk about the bike in the comments we’ll have a chat let’s start with the looks i actually like it now I know I say it probably about most bikes to be fair cuz I genuinely just like being on two wheels but the looks on this yeah I think it’s a nice looking bike i think the front the light is very Benelli yeah I think the light it’s very Benelli slash keyway as far as the light setup goes i like the color scheme as well and shockingly well not shockingly it’s actually well shockingly good let’s say that this bike comes in five different colors five got this white color there is a red there’s a black there’s a blue now the blue I’m I’m sitting on the fence with the blue because the blue looks very much like the Voja 125 that is currently in the shop so yeah very similar in color and I’m not sure about that one um and there’s a gray as well so yeah loads of different color options for everyone’s taste I suppose brakes we’ve got a rear disc on the back with a single piston caliper a two piston caliper on the front disc single shock just sticking out the back some upside down forks on the front the lights on this are all LEDs front and rear nice so the seat feels a bit suedelike but it’s nice you look like there’s a big area there so you can move forward and backwards if you need to but we’ll see rear seat standard for this type of naked sports looking bike only a small seat at the rear but it’s big enough for someone to go in the back there is some decent grab handles and of course the rear pegs are fitted as well i do like the fact that the exhaust is all matte black as well makes it easier to clean the 125cc engine that’s in this it is just shy of 15 horsepower so it’s pretty much on the limit as what you’re allowed in the UK it is a four- stroke single cylinder and it it’s liquid cooled so yeah I’m hoping for some good things as far as the performance goes now what I’ve been instructed to do and this has never happened to me before at In Moto with a brand new bike and a brand new model but the guys at Into Moto Moto GB want me to test this bike out to its full potential which means I am going to do a performance test on it i want to see how good this bike actually is so I want to do the naugh to 60 and see if it can compete with the big boys and the figures suggest that it would so make sure you stay for the test ride i’m looking forward to that and the sun’s just come out yes weight wise this bike is 143 kg which is about right for this type of bike it means it’s really light currently on the side stand very easy to straighten up little to no effort and to walk it around outside to shuffle it around to just to maneuver it around a garage a shed wherever it is you’re storing your bike it’s just easy to do so that is a plus side seat height on this let me jump on now regulars to the channel know that I’m not a big guy i am 5’8 i’ve got a 29 in inseam as well so I’ve got short legs and I’m short but I’m flat foot on this bike and that is down to its 795 mm seat height pretty good if you are on the short side makes it really easy to walk around if you want to be lazy and not get off the bike when you stop that yeah I’ve definitely come under that bracket ah now I’m sat here actually I’ve noticed a bit of a sporty feel my back is not upright like I was expecting it to be certainly an unlike the Vojar125 which is a little bit more expensive than this bike and the Benelli BN125 again a couple of hundred pound more expensive than this bike but they are more sit up bikes this Yeah I’m feeling a little bit of a lean over the tank so I’m already feeling a bit sporty on it it’s not too bad it’s not like a sports bike where I’m going to feel a lot of back pain cuz I do tend to but I am noticing the ling so we’ll see we’ll see how we get on when we take it for a ride i’m actually liking the position of it h let’s carry on it has of course got a chain drive it’s got a sixspeed gearbox with a slipper clutch it does take E5 and E10 let’s talk buttons so pretty much standard but what I’m actually really liking about these normally with a cheap motorcycle you get a cheap plastic type finish especially on the buttons this doesn’t feel or look like a cheap bike it doesn’t as far as these buttons go you’ve got a horn there’s an indicator there is a hazard warning lights here you’ve got your high and low beam and there is a flash there but the buttons don’t feel like that cheap plastic feel they actually feel really wellmade surprised given the price point right hand side just what you would expect you’ve got an engine start and there’s an engine cutff some adjustable levers as well so this has got a USBC and the USB is over this side so you’ve got two charging points there again impressed let’s check the screen out let’s see what we’ve got ah it’s a nice LCD screen very clear i don’t think the camera is doing it justice i can see it perfectly clear and at the moment it is very sunny there’s a lot of sunshine coming down on this and I’m not getting a lot of reflections from it it’s actually really nice and visible just take you through it you do have the nice big speedo there is a rev counter going from left over to right there is a fuel gauge there is a temperature gauge there is a clock there is your total miles there is a gear indicator as well lot of information small screen but everything that you need and yeah they’ve not added a TFT which would have probably added £500 to the cost of the bike and I’m okay with that so that’s the walk around done all I need to do now is talk when no one’s beeping walk around done going to take it for a ride importantly though I mean I’ve never had it before the guys in here want me to do a performance test on it they want to see how this compares to the other bikes that are in there i think the Vog 125 is probably the one that they’re expecting it to be similar to i think the Voge is the one that it’s got to beat but saying that will it and but should you expect it to beat the Voge because this is a couple of hundred pound cheaper than the VO but the specs on this suggest it could actually do it so let’s go and find out let’s go and let’s go and put it through its paces looking forward to that performance test though let’s go okay it’s got a little bit of a rumble to it nothing too aggressive nothing too offensive and for this type of bike I think that’s what you want let’s see what the turning circles like full lock actually doesn’t look like it turns that much not compared to the scooters that I’d usually do this test on oh yeah that I mean it’s not the best turning circle based on where I was there i mean I am very close to that green fence i’m still this side of it now I’m on the cobbles yeah it actually feels more of a sporty feel the suspension actually feels quite firm it’s probably the best way to put it you are feeling all of the lumps and bumps in the road gear changes as you’d expect from a brand new bike very smooth little to no effort with those let’s see how uh pulling out of a junction let’s see need to see how zippy it is from the off yeah it feels quite nippy i am getting a little bit of vibration via me feet not much but enough that it’s noticeable no vibration through the seat nothing through my hands but I am just feeling a little bit of a tingle on my toes but for these normal road speeds it feels quite a light and nimble bike quite agile quite easy to move over from one side of the road to the other let’s just take it up to 40 yeah didn’t even need to downshift for that it did pick up speed quite quickly um the only thing I would mention is again just on that little bit of vibration via the feet was you got a little bit more of it when the revs went a little bit higher it’s all right on the bends yeah I’ve got new rubber on these obviously because it’s a brand new bike so I’m taking it a little bit easy as far as the turns go but I’m just liking the ease of riding it at the moment it seems just a very very I’m going to say learner friendly because it’s easy to ride not that this bike is limited to just learners that is because for a little town bike if you’re looking for a a smaller bike to do the little town journey on yeah I think uh this would suit anyone to be fair does so far certainly more positives than negatives the pegs actually do feel like the set back ever so slightly so they don’t look like your mid controls they feel like they are leaning on more of a sporty feel let’s shift down let’s see national speed limit road going uphill let me see if it can get to 60 mph and it can now not many 125s get to 60 mph going uphill on this stretch i’ve been on quite a few that have done well in the performance test and they’ve got to 60 at a decent point but have not obtained 60 going uphill this has you can tell we’re in the summer the it’s all a bit grown over here so I’m in my usual space so anybody who’s watched the channel before will know when I do a performance test this is my regular stop so there is a grid on the floor there that’s by the front wheel this road in the UK is a 60 mph road it’s a national speed limit road for the UK single lane so 60 mph now from a standing start I am going to give this bike the beans i’m going to try and get to 60 mph as quickly as I possibly can and on that I’ll be able to tell you how this bike fares against other comparable bikes and where it gets to 60 in relation to where other bikes have got to 60 so what I try and aim for the good performance bikes will get to 60 mph before the big white house which is down there which is in the middle of a a sharper left bend now if this bike gets to 60 mph before that point then it joins quite a good list of bikes such as the sport the sporty 125 so Y Suzuki GSXR which has been the fastest 125 down here the CBR125 Yamaha’s YZF FR125 the just just the sporty Japanese 125s there have been a couple of bikes that have surprised me and done 60 mph before that point there’s a lot of expensive bikes is what I’m saying with the odd cheaper bike now the Vogge R125 got to 59 miles an hour by the time I got to that White House down there so that really is the benchmark I’m going for the Vosege is a couple of hundred pound more expensive than this bike however for me it’s still classed as a cheap 125 cuz it is for a new bike this is just slightly cheaper so we’re going to see can this bike compete with the big boys can it even get close to the Voge which the Voge is a good performing 125 certainly for a brand new 125 that’s less than £3,000 so let’s see let’s see how close we get to it let me get ready to rock i’ve got to leave myself enough room as well there’s a lot of cars a lot of traffic today but I’ve got to leave myself a big enough gap to get the speed up everything would suggest though this bike is going to be capable of it it’s done 60 mph uphill so if it can do 60 mph on the uphill going this way on the straight it’s not going to have a problem getting to 60 however it’s where it gets to 60 i think that’s going to do me we are clear to go taking it right to the limiter so the Suzuki GSXR was at 60 now yeah do you know what it’s pretty much on par with the Vge pretty much identical in fact the VO did exactly the same it was 5859 by the time we got to that um the house on the corner i’m going to say it’s a good performer it’s not a brilliant performer not great but good just to give it some context really i mean the Yamaha MT125 yeah those bikes are really good performing bikes they’re renowned for it and this has pretty much equaled the performance of one of those up to 60 mph and price-wise this is about half the price of the MT125 and that’s what you’ve got to let sink in it is literally half the price in fact it might even be less than half the price if you got some extras on your MT125 i’m sure it’s going to be over £5,000 whereas this is just a pound less than 2 1/2 so you’ve got to kind of give it a bit of perspective here that for a bike of this price point to perform as good as a bike twice the price that for me just makes it pretty good pretty good all things considered i do like it i’m in a high gear and when you’re in a high gear and you rev a 125 certainly when you’re only doing about 30 mph you get a lot of noise and not a lot of performance but the noise out of it is actually it’s quite nice let’s do a bit of I’m doing a bit of slow filtering i’m I’m not in a rush today today’s more about the [Music] experience of riding a brand new model now let’s just uh go over something here because there might be a few people who will come out of or come out with a couple of comparisons themselves because Morbidelli is under the umbrella of and under the kind of I won’t say ownership of but they’re part of the keyway group so you could say this looks very similar to something like the the Keyway RKF because it does morbidelli have certainly priced this bike aggressively they obviously want it to sell and based on performance based on looks based on the actual feel of the bike i don’t have anything really to try and convince you not to buy it because it’s a nice bike to ride it’s priced really well the performance is good the looks are good the screen has got everything you need the comfort is good the overall overall riding experience of this bike is good now I know there will be people that again and I’m just trying to cover the bases here that will say well why don’t you just buy a secondhand Japanese bike and that is an option that is available to anyone of course it is but when you buy a new bike you get the warranty and all of that stuff so you’ve got all of that to consider as well if you want the peace of mind of having a new bike and the warranties that come with them if you want to have a bike knowing its history so you know it hasn’t been mistreated it’s been well looked after then new bikes are good because you know it’s only you that’s had it so there are those things to consider as well but yes of course you could go out and buy a used MT125 for instance um that would probably have I don’t know 15,000 miles on the clock something like that that might be around the same price as this bike you could do it if you wanted to or you go out and buy a new bike with zero miles i know there’s other bikes available it’s just the MT125s the one I’ve been talking about so that’s why I’ve mentioned it but um yeah there are other options available of course there are but I just think for a a new bike certainly when you’re pitting it against bikes like uh the Benellis the Voes the Keyways the the Lex Motos the Sinuses the the what I’m going to call the more budget friendly bikes because that’s what they are those bikes are all very much budget friendly bikes that are priced between the two and a half to £3,000 or just over £3,000 in some cases but when you put it against those bikes this bike for me is probably one of the better ones i do I think the riding experience of it does feel certainly equal to the Voja 125 which I’m pr well I’m I’ve got no issues in saying that the Vojar 125 is one of my favorite 125s with the overall package on looks performance price everything I think the Vojar 125 has got to be mentioned bike because of all of those things together actually make it a really good option and I think this bike is definitely I’m going to I’m going to say it it’s pretty much right on par with the Voge now where this bike possibly wins the Voge and it I think it possibly does is because it’s slightly cheaper so I mean it it goes without saying doesn’t it if you’ve got an apple which is £2 and another apple that tastes exactly the same and the same size for £150 you buy the 1 pound50 one don’t you and I know it’s a stupid example but I’m what I’m getting at is if both bikes perform the same which would I choose well I mean I think I would say I would pick the Moradelli and I didn’t expect that today but I think I would just purely because I know I’d save a couple of hundred pound buying a Morbidelli over the Voge now obviously if the VO price come down to the same price as this then that’s a difficult decision because both being equal um yeah I think I’d be happy with either because they both like they both ride very very very they’re just very similar the experience of riding them is very similar they both got this like really screamy shouty noise coming out of them that I like um they’re not like obnoxious or anything they’re just uh very similar experience to ride so I think I would be happy with either if they were the same price but if they’re not the same price I would go for the cheaper one but it’s probably best way to put it if those all of a sudden overnight become cheaper than this I’d pick a Vogue because they’re pretty much similar feeling i would be happy with either of those two bikes they I think have got to be now up there with my favorite budget type bikes now what I’m going to just add to this now I do I really like it and in fact I’m going to just finish on the Morbidellian i’m just going to go on to something else but as a bike that costs less than £25,000 that’s going to go above and beyond 60 mph because I had to rein it in at 60 it would have gone past that i’m sure I wouldn’t be shocked if it went all the way up to 70 m an hour which again puts it in the bracket of a lot of the Japanese type performing 125s which I think at this price point is amazing so for what it is and the price of what it is yeah it comes with my recommendation it’s available at Into Moto they’re selling these bikes brand new i’ve already said five different colors available so should you want one I do have something to say though and I’m gonna just jump off this bike to just because it’s it’s staring at me and it’s the only thing really that I think would would stop me buying one of these bikes and I I don’t know would it I don’t it would make me consider anyway because the bike itself awesome awesome looking bike awesome to ride good performance but and I’ve got to say but because this bike is right outside now this the Keyway RKS in its lovely green paint job is about £600 cheaper than the cheap bike I’ve just been on now yeah there are there’s a obvious like differences with this bike it does feel a little bit cheaper the buttons are a little bit cheaper the horsepower is down the maximum speed is down i think officially it says it’ll do it about 58 59 mph or something top speed so yeah there are sacrifices to make however the price of that is ridiculous like £1,899 or something and that for me is an absolute steal now is it worth paying £500 more or 600 no £500 more 600 more yeah and my maths is my head’s going is it worth paying 600 pound more for I mean it’s still a cheap bike but is it worth paying 600 pound more for a bike that may do 10 m an hour more i don’t know i think it depends doesn’t it on what you’re going to use your bike for if you’re doing a lot of faster roads then yeah I think looking at that it does look a little bit meteier the tank looks meatier i forgot to mention as well 12 and a half liter tank but it does look a little bit wider and meteor and there’s a few little touches like there’s these little wing things going on here and yeah there’s your USB USBC and all these nicer touches on this bike it’s It’s obviously more expensive and a nicer bike it is but if you are looking to save money and you you know this bike is cheap that’s just cheaper yeah i I don’t know i don’t know if it was a town bike for going around town and you never went above 40 m an hour I would buy the RKS but if you’re going out a little bit further and you’re going hitting the twisties and you’re going venturing out a little bit more then yeah I would buy the Morbidelli because it’s going to be more usable it’s quicker it’s got better performance it’s Yeah it is a better bike there’s no question that’s not in dispute that’s a better bike it’s just depends on what you want to use it for does and if you want to save money cuz I’m all about saving money but I do I really like this one i really like that one but there is obvious differences as I’ve just gone on anyway that’s going to do me because I’m just rambling like a madman now if this is the kind of video you like if you’re interested in buying one of these new bikes and to be fair if you’re looking for a new 125 these should be on your radar both of them to be fair because they’re both excellent bikes they are available at Inio Moto brand spanking new that one £1,899 this one £2,499 which is still a cheap bike to be fair but I’ll put a link in the description for Interim Moto and for now I will catch you guys on the next one lers [Music] [Applause] [Music]
