I literally registered just to comment on this. I have a 2014 lexmoto Arizona. I got it at 7K miles. It needed a new battery and the brakes were seized on the front. It will get to 60 easily enough and hold. The issues I have had so far.. the brakes still haven't been fixed properly, that's on me and I had to change the headlamp when I came off the bugger on my second week riding, oh and the headstock bearing. I am just coming up to two years now and this bike has been nothing but reliable. It's stored in a garage. I generally keep on top of maintenance. I have had to change the back tyre a few weeks ago because the seal broke and it went down... after 13k miles and 6 years of running though. This bike cost me 250 quid and has been my daily commute. It has cost me in total including mots has cost me maybe 400 quid. It will do 300 miles on a tank, insurance is a tenner a month, 16 quid a year road tax. As a daily commute that I have ran through two winters. I can't complain at all. There was a time when people used to shit on the Jap bikes, things have come a long way. If you want something, cheap, fun, reliable and bloody easy to source parts for and work on. Get a lexmoto. I will be doing my test this year and getting something a bit bigger but for my first bike... it has been golden. You can slate away with your deep pockets. I don't care. I know what I know.
