Peugeot Looxor 125 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Looxor 125 was Peugeot's attempt at a sporty-looking twist-and-go during the early 2000s scooter boom, and honestly? It's not terrible. The Piaggio-derived engine is reasonably tractable for city work, and parts availability isn't the nightmare you'd expect given the French branding — many components cross-reference with common Italian stuff. That said, don't let the aggressive bodywork fool you into thinking this thing is quick. It's pedestrian at best. Used examples are getting old now, and that's where the headaches live. Carb issues, tired variators, and cracked plastic are basically guaranteed at this point. The build quality never matched the styling ambition — thin panels, average finish. CVT maintenance gets ignored by most previous owners, so budget for a full belt and roller service immediately. Electrics can be flaky too, particularly the dash and indicators on higher-mileage bikes. If the price is right — under $800 — and it runs cleanly, it'll serve a commuter well enough. Pay more than that and you're just buying someone else's neglect.
