Lem CX 2 Motard
2006
2006
The 2006 Lem CX 2 Motard is a small-displacement motorcycle designed for younger riders or those seeking an entry-level experience in the motard style. This model aimed to capture a segment similar to that targeted by the Malaguti Drakon 50, offering a scaled-down supermoto aesthetic and a focus on accessibility. It provided an alternative for riders not yet ready for larger, more powerful machines.
Powering the Lem CX 2 Motard is a 49.8 ccm (3.04 cubic inches) single-cylinder engine. This engine produces a modest 7.0 HP (5.1 kW) and 1.6 Nm (0.2 kgf-m or 1.2 ft.lbs) of torque. The lightweight design, with a dry weight of just 34.0 kg (75.0 pounds), helps to maximize the available power. With a fuel capacity of 2.00 litres (0.53 US gallons), frequent refueling may be necessary, especially during longer rides. The small engine is adequate for its intended purpose, providing enough power for learning the basics of motorcycle control.
The Lem CX 2 Motard's riding position is typical of the supermoto style, offering an upright stance and good visibility. The seat height is 610 mm (24.0 inches), which, even at the lowest setting if adjustable, may still be a factor for very short riders. Its light weight makes it exceptionally maneuverable, allowing riders to build confidence in handling and cornering. Suspension components, while basic, are adequate for absorbing minor road imperfections at lower speeds.
The 2006 Lem CX 2 Motard is suited for very young or beginner riders. Its small engine and lightweight design make it easy to manage, and the motard styling adds a touch of sporty flair. While not a powerhouse, it serves as a good starting point for developing fundamental riding skills. For those looking for a step up in performance or features, exploring larger displacement options would be advisable, but as a first motorcycle, the CX 2 Motard provides a budget-friendly and manageable entry point.
