No road? No problem! |
Looks - It wouldn't win any beauty contests. Lots of people hates the headlight assembly. I like it! Or on second thought, I'm someone who never really cared what an offroader should look like. Well it was glossy when it first rolled off the production lines, then again who would want that kind of bike un-dirty? Thus dirtbike!
The side profile is ok. The seatheight is lower than that of the XR200 so, anyone with shorter legs will be jumping with joy with this feature, The seat is remarkable comfy! Wide cushy, perfect for long distance-riding. The headlight beam is just ok but can do better. As for mine, I put two auxillary lights I got from a friend worth P500 each. The result is amazing! Overkill even! If you don't want angry motorists coming at you, on/off switch is highly recommended. Or just ride it with the highbeam switch.
The dual tires are ok. Good enough for the roads, and still perfect for non-asphalts. Grip is commendable considering they are dual-purpose tires. I appreciate it most offroads. Rocky and sandy beds are no match for it. I also appreciate the hard compound, lasted me 20,000 kilometers of riding! I just replaced mine now!
Power is expected of a 125cc engine. Just enough for city riding. As for trails, yeah, i'd wish for a slightly bigger piston. But the XR125l's lack of bigger punch more than makes up for it's very light weight. Dropping and picking up the bike? I can do it all day long!
