Yes, but personally I don’t like it. It’s really easy to manueveur but I thought the whole bike felt flimsy, the tires are the skinniest I’ve ever seen, the engine is really under-powered and the engine-braking is extreme. I also didn’t like the riding position, it was like you were sitting on top of the handlebars. It’s a good bike for beginners but it’s no way near fun to drive. Suzuki DR125SM, Kawasaki KMX125 and Yamaha DT125R are heaps better (and faster). Supermotos/Offroads are the way to go when getting a 125cc - you won’t be disappointed.
Thanks for the info
Agreed 100%
as a small supermoto owner, i tottaly agree, small sport bike are not my kind (except the aprilia)
I have one cbr with those skinny tires (can’t understand so much hate from people) and I can turn faster than my friends in DTR’s, and in 125 4-stroke the cbr is the fastest, at least I never seen a wr or yzfr overtaking me
if you are able to (depending on your budget and your countries laws) i would recommend a 250, its not too bad to learn on i have taught people to ride 250’s and they did great. but for that extra bit of money you get a much more usable amount of power. if your just going to be riding in the city it wont be a big deal so much though.
Sadly i can only get an 125 because im 16
If you want 125cc sportsbike 2-stroke is the only way to go.
Or if you want supermoto/enduro 4-stroke might be okay. Although 2-stroke would be better still imo :)
4strokes are cheaper to run;) but two strokes rock, indeed
If it’s for everyday use then don’t go 2 stroke.
Well for me it was perfect and you cant really go wrong with bike like that.

It looks dumb imo. Never liked that bike. Way too small. Makes you look like a poser.
What would be a good bike?
The Honda PCX is great for a beginner, or a Sachs V5 Motozax
I would rather recommend an Aprilia rs125 2-stroke (super important that it’s a 2 stroke, not the newer 4-strokes called rs4 125). These bikes, especially 2006-2012 are beautiful, really powerful and great riding experience. If you are very tall, they might feel a little bit small but so will the CBR 125 with it’s skinny tires and weird looks
Another choice is Cagiva Mito. Especially the oldet ones were badass. Both the Aprilia and Cagiva require lot of maintenance and aren’t that reliable though
Sounds interesting
No power, terrible top speed. Ninja 250 is perfect for beginners.
