Lem CX 2
2006
2006
The 2006 Lem CX 2 is a small, two-stroke motorcycle designed for younger riders or those seeking an entry-level off-road experience. While not directly comparable to larger displacement machines, it aimed to capture the same market as models like the Yamaha PW50 and Suzuki JR50. This mini-moto offers a simple and accessible introduction to the world of motorcycling, prioritizing ease of use and manageability over outright power.
Powering the Lem CX 2 is a 49.8 ccm (3.04 cubic inches) single-cylinder, two-stroke engine. This engine produces a modest 1.6 Nm (0.2 kgf-m or 1.2 ft.lbs) of torque, which is sufficient for its intended purpose. With a dry weight of just 34.0 kg (75.0 pounds), the CX 2 is incredibly lightweight and easy to handle. The fuel tank capacity is 2.00 litres (0.53 US gallons), meaning frequent stops may be necessary for longer rides, but it keeps the overall size compact.
Given its small stature and low weight, the Lem CX 2 offers nimble handling. The seat height is 605 mm (23.8 inches), even at its lowest setting, making it suitable for smaller riders. The suspension is basic, designed for absorbing bumps on relatively smooth surfaces rather than tackling challenging off-road terrain. Its design emphasizes accessibility and ease of control for beginner riders.
The Lem CX 2 from 2006 is primarily targeted towards young riders learning the fundamentals of motorcycle control or adults seeking a very lightweight and manageable machine for recreational use. While not a powerhouse, its simplicity, low weight, and easy-to-manage engine make it a reasonable entry point into motorcycling. It's a practical choice for controlled environments where speed is not a priority, and ease of use is paramount.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Lightweight and nimble handling makes it easy to maneuver, particularly for younger or smaller riders learning the basics of off-road riding. • Simple, air-cooled 2-stroke engine is relatively easy to maintain and repair, a plus for owners with limited mechanical experience. • Low seat height inspires confidence for beginner riders, allowing them to easily reach the ground and maintain balance. • Affordable price point makes it an accessible entry-level option for families looking to introduce their children to motorcycling. • Decent power for its size allows for tackling mild off-road terrain, providing an enjoyable learning experience for new riders. • Compact dimensions make it easy to transport in a truck bed or on a small trailer, increasing its versatility.⚠️ Things to consider
• Limited top speed and overall power make it unsuitable for experienced riders or challenging off-road conditions. • The 2-stroke engine requires premixing oil with fuel, which can be inconvenient and requires careful attention to avoid engine damage. • Basic suspension components provide limited adjustability and may struggle to absorb larger bumps and jumps effectively. • Parts availability for older models like the 2006 CX2 can be challenging, requiring more effort to source replacement components. • Reliability can be a concern with older 2-stroke engines, particularly if not properly maintained, requiring frequent checks.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
