2007 · Minibike-cross
The 2007 Lem RX2 Motard arrived as a spirited entry in the minibike-cross category, a niche focused on compact, agile machines for younger riders or those seeking a unique, lightweight experience. This model, part of Lem's tradition of small-displacement off-road and supermoto-style bikes, carved out its space amongst competitors like the Malaguti XSM 50 and various smaller-capacity Rieju models. It represented a playful approach to motard riding, scaled down for accessibility and pure, unadulterated fun, particularly on tighter courses or in areas where full-sized bikes were impractical.
At the heart of the Lem RX2 Motard was its 49.80 ccm (3.04 cubic inches) engine, a high-revving unit designed to extract maximum power from its small displacement. This powerplant produced 12.60 HP (9.2 kW) at a screaming 13500 RPM, indicating a highly tuned, two-stroke nature common in its class. Weighing in at an incredibly light 41.2 kg (90.9 pounds), the RX2 boasted an impressive power-to-weight ratio, contributing significantly to its zippy acceleration. Fuel capacity was a modest 2.00 litres (0.53 gallons), reflecting its intended use for shorter bursts of activity rather than long-distance treks.
Riding the Lem RX2 Motard offered a distinctive experience. Its featherlight construction and compact dimensions, including a low 605 mm (23.8 inches) seat height (if adjustable, lowest setting), made it exceptionally nimble and easy to handle for a wide range of riders. The motard styling, characterized by its knobby tires and long-travel suspension, hinted at its versatility on various loose surfaces. The upright riding position, typical of minibike-cross machines, allowed for quick weight shifts and responsive steering, essential for navigating tight turns and small jumps.
The Lem RX2 Motard 2007 was clearly aimed at younger enthusiasts graduating from smaller pit bikes, or adults seeking a lightweight, low-maintenance machine for recreational track days or private property riding. Its simplicity, combined with its lively engine and minimal mass, made it an excellent platform for developing riding skills in a controlled environment. While not built for highway cruising, its design excelled in its intended minibike-cross category, offering an engaging and accessible introduction to motard-style riding.
