Thank you adam, it's comments like this that keep me going and striving to do better with each video. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! Cheers, Scott

I have to say, you have taken every research prospect into consideration while making this video, I have a height of 1,72 m and wondered if this bike (which will be my first) will be ideal for my height. You sir have answered my question, thank you and stay safe!

Great review! Keep up the good work! PS: Just got this bike today and already love it. It's awesome to ride and sounds quite good for a 125cc bike. It really is a great bike.

Your channel is great, thanks for all your videos

Seems like a great little bike for commuting or weekend country rides.

Thank you for an excellent review. I have one coming early February and am just getting into biking and feel a good choice has been made. Excited to develop my skills and abilities with this excellent machine. Love your detailed analysis and delivery :)

You are the first person on youtube that I have found that actually takes every country in consideration while doing a review. Planning on buying my first bike next month and this one is probably going to be it. Thank you for the different shots and close up of the dash. Great job on the review! Is it doable on the motorway aswell? Greetings from Belgium. :)

Hi Dylan, thank you for the compliment, it is greatly appreciated. Yes, you can take it on the motorway but I would only do so in rare (short) occasions cause when I pushed the bike, the fastest I got it to go was 104 kph, indicated, so that is probably an actual speed of around 95 kph. But I'm kind of big for this bike, especially with my backpack on, camera gear...etc. it was more weight than the bike was designed for...probably around 95kg in total weight. Greetings from Germany!

First, let me just say that your review is the best and most detailed on this bike that I have found so far; grateful for that! Keep up the great work! I am a total beginner, looking for my first 125cc bike. I am 185cm tall and weigh around 70kg, do you think this rather small bike could still work for me? Thanks again for the great video!

Hi Jack, first of all thank you for the comment! Now let me address your size for a "starter" bike. The problem with "starter" bikes, especially in the 125cc size, is that they are all pretty much the same in that I mean small. And you being 185cm tall will be an issue on any 125cc bike. But because of your size, I would suggest that you take a look at the KTM 125 Duke, this would fit your size a little better with a seat height of 830mm vs. 816 on the Honda. And is on par with the Honda as far as quality, fit and finish. Ok, now I need to do a review on the KTM 125 Duke...lol. But you may also want to try the 390 Duke, I did a review on that already, check it out. The CB300R is pretty much the same size as the CB125R it's just a step up in weight and power.

I'll have to step in here. I am 184cm tall and sat on both the Duke and the CB125R. My leg angle felt way better on the CB125R, which may be because the tank fits my knees perfectly on the Honda. What I'm saying is that you can indeed ride 125cc's at our height comfortably. It's not like these bikes are made for midgets :) (the MSX Grom may be haha)

I'm 177cm tall and about 95Kg (I'm fat and OLD !) . I didn't find this bike "small" as compared to other 125cc bikes. What I did find is that the Mod 1 UK test (that I believe is similar around Europe) moving this bike around the cones for practice was easier on this than the 180Kg big bike that I took my test on. Maybe the heavier KTM Duke 125 and Yamaha MT125 being nearer 147Kg are better for practicing the cone manoeuvres . I don't know this for sure, it is just a guess. It's a nice bike , good brakes (anti lock too !), looks good, my only complaint is I found getting into first gear sometimes hard, but I'm a new rider , so I'm not sure my skill level is good enough to really comment on this !

Momentum Yes and seat is slightly higher in cb125r vs cb300r

How this compares to a 125cc motoroller/moped? Is riding dynamic any different to a 125cc motoroller? Price-wise they are about the same. What are pros/cons of each? Thank you in advance!

Good review.

Awesome video..... Thank you so much.... 😍

I've got tested the cb125r sports café 2021model and I am 1.8 meters(europe) (5.9 feet?) high, and it fits me perfectlyt!! So I don't know why it should be too small for people with this length. By the way, I am 43 and I'm considering bying this bike. Maximum speed is more then enough for me for going on a ride. Now I also try to avoid monotonous highways with my car anyway.

as a person who is 5'7 and bike height has always been a problem, you have persuaded me to buy this bike

Hi thibo, buying a motorcycle is an emotional decision more so than a logical decision. Yes, there is some reasoning involved, specs, weight, cost...etc. but ultimately one should let the heart decide. Sit on them, take them for a spin and listen to what the bike says to you, if one speaks to you, that's it! You will not regret it.

If I'm correct the KTM Duke 125 and Yamaha MT-125 are about 147 Kg . The CB125R is only 126 Kg. The Duke and MT-125 get maximum of 14.7 BHP (11KW) for their weight. Maybe practising the cone slalom on the UK mod 1 test is a bit more realistic on a an MT-125 and Duke 125 because they're a bit heavier than the CB125R. I found it a bit of a jump from my CB125R going up to the riding school's Honda CB600 bike that weighed about 180Kg. You might get a slightly higher top speed on the MT-125 and KTM Duke 125 because at speed its more wind resistance than weight that slows a 125 down. I have managed to get a maximum of 68 MPH (108 KM/H) out of my CB125R on a 70 MPH (112 KM/H) road in the UK . Like all 125s , it took quite a while to get to its maximum speed.

Well in the UK , and if I'm correct the rest of the EU, you have to learn on something like this. Its all your allowed ! ( unless you want to pay a riding school to follow you on a big bike for all your training before you take your test ) The Yamaha MT-125 and KTM Duke have a little bit more power ( they're 14.7 BHP instead of just over the 13BHP on this one ) but they're both about 20Kg heavier.

I have one of these, done around 1400 miles ( 2240 Km ) They're a nice bike . They look awesome, especially in Honda "Red" ( All Hondas should be RED ! ). If I have one moan , it is that sometimes getting into first gear is hard. Yes, I realise I'm a newbie rider, but I don't remember the training school bikes being quite as difficult (could be senility !). I often have to slightly release the clutch whilst pressing on the peddle with the front brake on. Quickly dip the clutch again to stop the stall. So its not too hard. Otherwise I really like it , apart from a lack of power , but that's ALL 125 cc learner bikes ! To NothingToProve, I've a different opinion on the mirrors, I found I had to buy some extenders and raisers to get them in a position where I could see much behind me. I'm probably a bit "fatter" ! The downside is the mirrors now don't look as good . Oh hum ! I'm 5 foot 10 inches ( 177cm tall ) and about 15 Stone ( 95Kg ) (I'm fat and OLD !) . I didn't find this bike "small" as compared to other 125cc bikes. It felt a lot bigger than my riding schools Honda CG125s (from around 2008 ish ) It has quite a high seat. I've sat on Triumph with a 900cc engine (The machine of my DREAMS) where the seat was a fair bit lower. I'd say this bike would suit a taller rider. Personally I found the seat height perfect. What I did find is that the Mod 1 UK test (that I believe is similar around Europe) moving this bike around the cones for practice was easier on this than the 180 Kg Honda CB600 "big bike" that I took my test on. Now maybe this is a bad thing if you want to practice balancing a heavier bike at slow speeds. Maybe premature Alzheimers means I have a lack of balance, and for most learners this isn't a problem ! The KTM Duke and MT-125 are both around 147 Kg, so maybe practising the cone slalom and figure of 8 on the UK Mod 1 test is a bit more realistic on these bikes because they're just a little bit heavier than the CB125R. You might get a slightly higher top speed on the MT-125 and KTM Duke 125 because at speed its more wind resistance than weight that slows any 125 down, and they both have the maximum of 14.7 BHP instead of the 13BHP of the CB125R. I have managed to get a maximum of 68 MPH (108 KM/H) out of my CB125R on a 70 MPH (112 KM/H) road in the UK . Like all 125s , it took quite a while to get to its maximum speed. I don't think any 14.7BHP 125cc bike is really suitable for reasonable 70MPH (112KM/H) dual carriageway riding, the powers that be should really allow a small increase in power, say to about 20 BHP with say a 150cc engine, and possibly a restricted top speed of 75MPH to allow overtaking on dual carriageways. I was often stuck behind a lorry at 55 MPH because I didn't have the power to move out into the overtaking lane. I found this bike went slower in sixth gear at speed than it was in 5th gear. Sixth gear seems to be a bit more of an "overdrive" . Probably better fuel economy, but then this thing does 100 or more Miles to the Gallon (35 KM/Litre) . So sixth gear seems a bit pointless to me ! It would be better if they sorted out the stickiness in some of the gears (but that could be me) . I guess the issue is "an extra pointless gear sells the bike on statistics !" I like the brakes, anti lock is what sold me on this one over the cheaper ( and less powerful ) Honda CB125F that I nearly bought. As I understand it, you can get anti lock brakes on the MT-125 and Duke 125. Don't know if I can comment on the handling, my skill level and experience of other bikes almost certainly means I'm not "qualifed" . This bike handled fine to me, better than the riding school's Honda CG125 from 2008 ish (although they seemed okay). Would I get this again or an MT-125 or KTM Duke 125 ? I don't know , I haven't ridden them. I do prefer the look of the Honda, and I think the Honda is still a bit cheaper. After passing my test, I'm unlikely to be looking at other 125s anytime soon. The clutch compared to the 12 year old riding schools Honda CB600 is amazingly light. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing if you're buying one of these and taking your test on a bigger heavier bike and want the best "big bike" simulation possible. One last moan, Honda have swapped around the position of the indicator and horn switch as compared to older Hondas. My riding school bike was about 12 years old. So I'd have to familarise my self every time I swapped bikes. I'm not sure other road users know that I'm turning left or right when I hit the horn button ! One beep for left , two beeps for right , maybe ... Overall, I've enjoyed my time with this bike, but after passing my test I want either a Triumph Street/Speed Twin , Honda CB650R or maybe Suzuki SV650 . Being OLD , I'll probably get a Triumph that looks like what my Dad had in the 1950s ! I don't think I'll be buying a 200BHP 1 litre sports bike EVER !

"if you're of my size or taller, then you might want to ride a bigger bike like 300cc" Definitely I would have, but Honda CB300r is exactly the same size as this CB125r. 😣😣 I want to buy CB300r but it's much small in size. I'm 5'10". Just imagine 300cc bike looking like 125cc bike.
