Considering that 125cc are for 16 years old, I think its not expensive or cheap. If it was cheap we would have a LOT of teenagers on roads. And ofc if u r 18+ it makes no sense spending 5k for a 125cc

They take advantage of the fact that you can ride 125cc without extra license in many countries. (More people buy 125cc out of convenience because of this)

What I do need is not a 125 ccm bike, but a really light one. My Honda CB125R weights 130 kg. Perfect. It just runs about 105 km/h with all tricks applied. That’s bad. Now I want to upsize back to around 300-500 ccm but still be light.

@BlokeOnAMotorbike great for you sir. The two I've owned, compared to say yamaha or honda are entirely rubbish in comparison over the years. Wait and see. You'll find out lad.

I bought last year a Zontes 125cc 15 HP.Full Bosch ABS standard,Gel Seat,12.5 L fuel tank,Slipper Clutch,High Compression Ratio,Stainless Steel Exhaust,USB Dual,Keyless,ect. 3000€ and way better looking than all these bikes.Trust me,whenever I went city,people would ask me that is a great bike,they could not believe it is only 125cc,it looked beautiful.I sold to a friend after being used by same 15 slow HP. Matter of fact all these are restricted to 15HP. I do not know what is the point selling these bikes? They are like snails,included my former Zontes. Beginner bike? So just throw some 4500 €,and then you need bigger bike. Some of these 125cc looks very good looking,but they are same path like 2005 Nissan Almera 1.5 dCi with 80 HP,grandma's car.They look good power to weight without driver? A 200cc with 15 HP would be more healthy and reasonable than a 125cc,engine size of a 2L coca cola!

Could be another (parallel) top ten, with the new brands, cos those mainstream are references, since decades. I love my XSR, but i agreee numerous new bikes are looking great.

A list of totally impractical bikes, mostly for boy racers fantasising they are on a more powerful machine, with uncomfortable riding positions, mostly way over-priced and clearly a list made by people who are desperate to appear trendy and with it. If you are new rider and want a practical motorcycle that is also fun, almost none of these are going to be useful and almost all are way over-priced. No mention of Zontes, Voges or other quality Chinese makes that now rival European and Japanese bikes at a fraction of the price.
