The 2016 Lexmoto ZSB 125 represents a popular entry point into motorcycling for many new riders. As an "Allround" category motorcycle, it's designed to be a versatile and accessible option, often chosen by those looking for their first geared bike. In the competitive 125cc commuter segment, it faced rivals such as the Honda CB125F and the Yamaha YBR125, offering a budget-friendly alternative for daily transportation and learner-legal riding. This model continued Lexmoto's tradition of providing affordable and practical motorcycles to the UK market.
Powering the ZSB 125 is a 125.00 ccm (7.63 cubic inches) engine, delivering 10.59 HP (7.7 kW) at 9000 RPM. Torque figures stand at 9.50 Nm (1.0 kgf-m or 7.0 ft.lbs) at 7000 RPM, providing sufficient grunt for urban environments. The ZSB 125 achieves a top speed of 90.0 km/h (55.9 mph), making it suitable for navigating city speed limits and occasional stretches of faster roads, though it's not designed for sustained high-speed cruising. Its 13.00-litre (3.43 gallons) fuel tank offers a respectable range for daily commuting, minimizing frequent stops at the pump.
With a dry weight of 124.5 kg (274.5 pounds), the ZSB 125 is a lightweight and manageable machine, particularly beneficial for new riders or those with a smaller stature. The low seat height of 740 mm (29.1 inches) (if adjustable, lowest setting) allows most riders to comfortably flat-foot, instilling confidence at stops and during low-speed maneuvers. Its "Allround" classification suggests a neutral, upright riding stance, which is conducive to comfortable commuting and general riding without aggressive ergonomics. The light handling characteristics make it easy to weave through traffic.
The Lexmoto ZSB 125 2016 is primarily aimed at new riders, commuters, and those seeking an economical and straightforward mode of transport. Its learner-legal status and accessible nature make it a common choice for individuals completing their CBT (Compulsory Basic Training). While it may not offer the premium features or refined performance of some higher-priced competitors, its affordability and ease of use present a compelling package for its intended audience. It serves as a reliable and cost-effective workhorse for everyday riding.
