Thank you very much!

I've been looking at this for my wife as she really likes it's features and after hearing your pros and cons she has decided this is at the top of her list. Good honest review sir.

Great vid yet again! Would love to see a collection of other 125cc beginner bike reviews such as Yamaha's R125, MT125, KTM's RC125 and Duke 125 etc.

I have the S / naked version, has a few little differences and a bit cheaper. I'm absolutely in love with it! When I get a bigger bike next year I may just keep her.

I’ve bought a 125cc bike a few months ago, I can’t believe it😂 300hp are boring now! The MSX125 (Grom) is my paddock and stunt bike!

Your videos made me pull the trigger on the gsxr125 ended up with a white 17 plate model and im loving every second of it had it almost a year now and I have to say what a great way to enter the world of motorbikes, thanks TMF

Great review TMF, learned to ride on the GSXS125 which was also a cracking little bike and big fun 👍

Thanks again for reviewing this bike , I’m looking for something like that to buy for my daily comuting , thanks again

In the 80´s / 90´s we had the proper 125cc´s machines. I owned several and they go side by side with the "big" 600´s thumpers - those where the days. However this GSXR125 is a good choice for a young rider or frequent daily runs (home-work-home). As usual, a very good review.

A really fair and interesting review TMF. I like the way you judge the bike on its own merits rather than constantly comparing it with the larger more powerful bikes we all like to ride. Interesting summary - if you carry on like this you’ll have the bike equivalent of Jay Leno’s garage!!

Wow - that's great!

I’ve had this bike since late April this year, and I’ve got to say, I’ve not experienced the first two issues you pointed out, although I do have my own issues. Namely, sometimes it can be a bit stiff to shift up as the gear pedal sometimes seems to have more resistance than perhaps it should. This only happens every so often however. As well as that, an issue I have personally is that I can’t actually turn the bars to a full lock, since the end of the bar will hit my knee unless my foot is particularly far back on the peg. Even if that wasn’t the case, though, there’s still the issue of having no room for my hand if I go full lock, as even with the dimple there’s very little space. Despite these issues though, the bike is great. It’s sturdy and quick for what it is, and I’m glad it’s the one I chose to buy. I’m pretty light, but it’s also worth noting that I’ve managed to take it to an indicated 89 mph.

Another quality review.

I have Dunlop Roadsmart 3 tyres and they are very stable in wet weather. Great tyre for a sports tourer which is used for touring, not for track days.

Good review. Ordered one yesterday. Comes at the end of the month. Ordered the white colour version.

That bike carried my arse on tours around the UK, gave me all the freedom in the world at 17, and was one of the only cars/bike's I've ever been really sad to see go. However I bought this bike's sister - the GSX-S125 for commuting a couple of months back, and whilst it's nothing but a tool to me, oh my word is it a better bike lol. Fuck ugly by comparison to my then 13 year old GN125 though, but yeah... I wouldn't swap them.... though I wouldn't mind getting another GN125 just to have one again.

Great reviews TMF! I've just been doing that thing of looking up reviews of the bike I already bought lol. I bought the S version for commuting in Australia. For me (6'5") I was just too tall for the R version, and for commuting it seemed like overkill really. I still look like an ape on the S version, but it's comfortable, fun (it's the same bike without the fairing and raised bars), and insanely cheap. I get a realistic 3l/100km on my commute, which gives it a range of a bit over 300km, meaning I only have to fill up once per week, which is an underrated bonus on a commuter bike. I will say the S verion is f-ing ugly though. I'm currently looking into the possibility of swapping out that hideous alien headlight, which looks fine on the R version, but yeah, ugly stick time on the S, but mods are a taking a while for these bikes lol. The fastest roads on my commute are 60mph, so this bike is perfect really, and compared to my main bike (Tiger 800), it's just so much cheaper. The on the road price was $3800, which I believe is about 2070 british pounds.. so not really sure what's going on with the UK pricing, or if that's good/bad there? Only other negative I'd add in is that the exhaust system is a single unit to save weight, so you have no option but to go full system exhaust if you want to mod that, and it is very quiet as you say in another vid. I know full system are in style nowadays, but there may still be some people hoping to use a slip on to improve the sound whilst not removing the cat, so just good to know I guess. Definitely agree on the seat though - already added an aftermarket to mine lol

GOOD AND FAIR REVIEW I CURRENTLY OWN THIS BIKE. IN THE BLUE MOTO GP RACE COLOURS THE LOCAL GARAGE WANTED TO SELL ME A USED ONE FOR £3550 HOWEVER AFTER A FEW CALLS I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW ONE FOR £3600. ( £50 more ) This is much better than my first 125. Which was a Pre ABS 14 plate Yamaha YZF R125. Personally I must admit that the Yamaha did look more nicer and better. But its overall height and seat position Was too high for me and lacked the FULL digital display features such as Gear positions also not as clear or easier to read display. I personally think this is one bike I can fully recommend for short riders. With such high recommendations and reviews How could I refuse buy , own and recommend this bike.

I think I'd be more swayed toward the upright version if tempted to buy.

Wonder how good the Ninja 125 is going to be.

Commenting on some of the bad points you mention with my own experiences of owning a white 2018 model: 1) First and second gears on my GSXR I usually start revving to 3-4k and upshifting to 3rd which seems to me to be perfectly fine, the bike will easily do 15MPH-25MPH at that range. I've yet to ride a bigger bike so maybe I'm just not used to pure power in the low gears haha! 2) On my bike, the gearbox occassionally throws me into N from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 1st even when really going for it as you mentioned, very strange! 3) A lot of reviewers have said they've cheaped out on lots of parts, not sure, for me it's my first bike and I'm happy with how everything is as standard but maybe. A beautiful bike in my eyes but could certainly use some OEM parts to really help improve the look, such as the indicators for sure haha! 4) The Dunlop tyres are very good in wet weather in my experience, only once have I ever felt the back start to slide and that was on a roundabout with some grit/dirt laying down, easy enough to correct and haven't had any problems personally. 5) I'm 5'11 and the bike is very small when compared to bigger bikes and even the YZF-R125, one of the only downsides to the bike in my opinion. Even when fully tucked, you'd struggle to get yourself low enough unless you're a smaller rider, the extension to the windshield doesn't really help either. On your good points: 1) I have personally easily reached 72MPH at 9,000RPM, there's more in there but not willing to speed to try. Don't have a private track! ;) 2) I refuel every 1.5 to 2 weeks depending on how far I ride, the stated 122MPG isn't far off, personally my record is 117MPG from full tank to reserve! Definitely very economical, you're looking at weekly £7-8 in petrol at £1.19p/L here in the North West and about £13 for a full 11L fillup! 3) Keyless ignition is supposedly quite a bit more secure to theft but the bike has a glaring issue, if you leave the keyless in the standard "Up" position at 12 o'clock. Even if you're not within 1.5m, the bike can actually be started and there goes your bike. Something to remember for sure! I love the feature and it's something I want when I move up to a bigger bike! 4) The brakes work very well as you mentioned, even a single wavy disc although it looks like it won't do much for stopping power and people have scoffed at, is enough to stop you from 50-0 within a reasonable distance. 5) At 3499, the special discount price I bought the bike for, I believe it is definitely the best 125cc sports bike on the market. The YZF is an amazing machine from what I've seen but way too expensive. Even at full price, 4099 vs 5000 is quite a difference, enough to pay for my yearly insurance! Thank you for the review and love your channel TSF! Looking forward to more content!

Knowing what bikes you own and what you use them for, I can't for the life of me think where a new 125cc would fit into the stable or cover a gap in function that your other bikes don't do. I am lost on your view that you need a 125cc pretend sports bike. Come to think of it, unless you need a 125cc for certain track classes, who does need such a bike?

I just love small light bikes that you can thrash the pants off without doing silly speeds...

You are the first rider (Video) who complains about the first two gears.

@@TheMissendenFlyer I forgot to say I wachtched only videos in german language (Germany, Swizerland and Austria), sorry. I do not know wy this was not a subject in german bike tests. In earlier times I had the Honda CBR 125 R. And the first two gears were there bad too. I think I have to try the GSX 125 by myself. In my opinion a perfect gearbox should be standard today. Nice weekend, Manfred, Germany.

The only question I wanted answered is....is this made in Japan?....because india was putting out some trash Yamahas and Suzukis and Hondas that have horrible quality and looked like rip offs of the bigger bikes...😒...if it's made in Thailand or Japan..I'd go for it...if its India ik their build quality is horrible

Depend on cc, for south east Asia we got 150cc and its made in indonesia. We dont have 125cc variant

I don't understand it ! Get a 250 street and trail and learn to ride . Then keep your trail bike and get something a bit more exciting unless you are completely in love with dirt bikes by this time . In which case get more serious about a CRF 450L or a KTM 350,500 OR EVEN 690 .

I think it's a stupid choice for a new rider.As a new rider you will fall off.It's all part of learning.On a naked bike hardly any damage will be done.On a bike with a fairing it will mark very badly or crack.Then an expensive repair.I have a young friend who bought Honda's version of this bike.he dropped it on a slow corner and it cracked the fairing.

That rear mudguard looks awful though...

They always do. A more restrained aftermarket tail tidy would definitely be in order.

Wait ..your British ....and your using miles , gallon and pounds .... What happened to the metric system

We use a bizarre mix of metric and imperial in the U.K. - feet and inches are alive and kicking!

This is a 125cc machine not a proper high-end sports bike.. So we don't expect a really good and smooth gearbox from this bike..

The problem is these bikes are just too expensive, learners are likely to trade up within a couple of years and would be better off buying a second hand 125. Of course if everyone takes this approach then the market will collapse and Suzuki et al will stop making 125s..

Id get a 125 brand new if i wanted to keep it as a fun little sporty bike for daily use because of the economy and for fun eides with twisties and such...

Pretty little puppy? that bike? does it not make you puke with all those mish mash lines and using hard cheap plastic for the fairings? :P where is my puke bag blrblrlblrlblrblrlbr :P Now I am gonna heal my eyes buy looking at oldschool 125-250-2504t-400 bikes and to think that those low end bikes looked cheap before when they look like proper racebikes compared to the new breed of low capacity "budget" bikes.

U've got a Panigale in the garage and is tempted by a Suzuki 125cc. Really? Isn't that like being married to a supermodel and fancying an afair with a goat?
