CBR 4 EVER!!!!!
BTW, I love your reviews MCN, just do them larger please.
i bought an rs aprilia when i passed my test a few years ago. what a bike, for a 125, the handling is fantastic, very light and flickable, and the engine really goes well when kept in the power band, the only downsides are the extreme riding position for a newbie and the lack of reliability. you have to really want an rs to buy over the 4 strokes, but you wont be dissapointed
I had an rs125 for 2 years, did about 10000 miles on it and never had a problem, you can only go by what you have experienced so I have nothing bad to say about them, excellent bike I wouldent cry if I had to go back to one
My rs 125 2007 model has gone about 8000 km, No porblem with this bike what so ever! stunning, fast and reliable!
Wen is MCN gonne do a video of the new honda 125R 2011?
why does only 1 headlight work on nearly all of them? is that the way it is or it is just broken?
bought my cbr 125r today cant wait to get it in a few weeks
wich one is best for racing?
what does the aprilia top out at?
So was the rs125 learner legal ?
Epic burn, you tell him! Couldn't have said it better myself!
np. po rozblokowaniu jest dosyć szybka? chodzi mi lepiej przyspiesza?? mi prędkość np 120km/h wystarczy ale żeby miała przyspieszenie do setki tak około 14sekund to by mnie zadowoliło....pozdro dzięki za odpowiedzi ;)
Are these race machines? Or can I go on one after doing my CBT? ( I mean SHOULD I) or is it for more race enthusiasts?
i want to buy an aprilia rs 125 and i know its 2 stroke and some one told me you have to mix the petrol with some oil ??? can you help me
Hy, about the cbr tyres more little for to knew dawn....exactly or wrong opinion??!!
Honda gets my vote, brilliant little 125, incredibly light, pretty nippy, so cheap on fuel, 100% reliable unlike the Rs125 which i have heard has its ups and downs, one thing i don't like is the cbr tyres if they where a little thicker the bike would be truly amazing hands down.
yeah it wil be mostly for driving to work. would you recommend the cbr (4 stroke) then yeah?..thanks for the reply..
how fast can this go... would it be good foe highways?
i want to see a mcn test review for the derbi gpr 125 4v 09
The cagiva mito still looks best though imo

Agreed
why did you compare 2t against to 4t ?
heyy thanks mate and yer i was thinking about the yamaha dt aswell, but second hand theyre pretty much the same price. but yerrr good advice
Thanks, i'll have a look at the Ninja, i didn't even know the did a 250. but that is good news. speaking of 250's do you know if Aprilla will bring out the RS 250? coz they had one before didn't they.
are any of these for sale in america?
yea that true man i loved the bike just i used it more for getting to college threw traffic and it was horrible for that. just in the case the YZF-R125 was better for me as something for the weekends and something to get to college on at the same time
jak myślisz czy ta CBR dobra jest bezawaryjna?? jeździłeś na niej. chciałbym uzyskać troche informacji bo chciałem kupić taką
do you have to pre mix the gas for the aprilia, why is it no good for everyday
did he say the yamahas top speed was 78mph? didnt hear ... and which bikes cheaper the yamaha or the aprilia? thanks
Thanks & im taking my CBT next week =]
going to pick up my honda cbr up tonight cant freakin wait
are you from norfolk mate?
after you pass your test to ride a bike without L plates can you drive on the motorway with a 125?
The rs. Looks the best. Sounds the best. Fastest and appreciates in value.
ty but i think i will do it from time to time but ill most prob upgrade the bike after i pass since i love the look of the bike and suits my leathers
How much does the Aprillia weigh?
Anyone know which bike give you more MPG for your money? heard it was the Honda not 100% sure.
@Sk8ate95 you don'r have to mix if they have automatic mixer
4 months till im 17 i dno what to get every1 says that rs 125s break but they look just as good as the yzfr125 and there much faster any help :(
lads...nsr or cbr 125?..am buying a 125 and thats my choice which is better?..a 4stroke cbr or 2stroke nsr?..please reply..thanks..
How much does honda CBR125 go for in England?
wat is the cost for an Aprillia 125 in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) ??
i love Yamaha YZFs i plan on buying one for my first bike, they looks really nice and im rather tall ive sat on one and its perfect for me
I know this is irrelevant but does anyone have an opinion on the cagiva planet 125?
I am 16 and im thinking to go for the yamaha yzf r125 second hand is it worth it???
Im getting a cbr125 soon, i think they are brilliant bikes especially if you are getting off a 50cc straight onto a 125 like myself.
Hah, true. The size of the tyres is a almost a bit frightening, but as a proud owner of a CBR 125R, I've gotta say that there's nothing wrong performance-wise with the tyres. The front-wheel does like ridiculous, but oh well. It's a perfect bike for starters, I'm 16 now, I'll drive 2 years with it, then I'm moving on to a Kawa Z750 :D
I want to get one of these, but i'm mainly about the looks. Does anyone know whih is the largest? The honda is out because it looks like a bicycle. i'm stuck between the R1235 and the RS, RS has a larger back wheel but than the R125 looks wider AHHHHH!!!!!!! HELP!!!
Finland is always expensive as hell, and the basic insurance (the one required for you to drive yours in traffic) for a CBR 125R is normally 650-850. For a RS 125 it's 700-1000. It's insane. I'm glad I got an awesome deal for my CBR 125R, 420 for one year :)
Congrats.
which on is better? aprilia rs125 , yamaha r1 125 or kawasaki ninja 250r?
cioe fatemi capire alla fine tra le tre moto ha vinto la yamaha yzf-r125?
I agree completely.
i lvoed it on my test ride not rode a geared bike before so it was all new to me
2:10 badass racing suit
yeah I agree. I used to ride an SR50 DiTech and could just about keep up with a CBR125 which is rather apalling I was coming home on my RS125 today and some guy in a Vectra turbo overtook me and i dropped down a couple gears and managed to get past him Its at times like these which I feel really glad I got the 2 stroke and for people calling it a hedge strimmer. You can say that all you like but you'll be the one choking on its fumes =D
How on earth did they think the Yamahas breaks were crap the front brake is brutal on those things! I've had mine slowing down from 90+ to a stand still on two ocations hovering the back wheel off the ground

I'm not surprised your back wheel lifted / came of the ground slowing down from 90 mph with the front brake tbh. 90 ?

@@liljasere you won't get 95mph out of an r125. Not unless it had different sprockets and a big bore kit lol. They're limited to 87mph lol
how can you compare a 2stroke and a 4stroke?
ofcorse you can compare 2 strokes and 4 strokes, its two different ways of doing something, just like you can compare desmodraulic valves to spring ones or injectors to carbs
Better still, have one of each. I've owned a 5yr old CBR125 repsol since last june. Put 10k trouble free miles on it, other than service items its been brilliant. Good ride too, the review is right tho, they do struggle uphill. But then I weigh over 14st so can't expect too much. The two stroke I own is a 25 yr old RG125 and it really is great fun to ride. However I've just had to put it on ebay as my work has dropped off. Not happy!
@sogr95 race exhaust, bigger carb, jetted, tuned, power valve 2005 model, never broken down in 2 years all for £1000 off ebay :) Tops out at 115mph compared with r125, which is around 75 mph?
@Olinolan190 the cg is a great bike to do the cbt. its light and easy to ride i done mine on a cg125 tho i only got a lend of it off friend. now im on my rs 125. the bike is not hard to fuel if you drive it easy tho it can be expensive if you ride hard (70 - 100) mph or so.. however if you get a run on a crisp rs 125 with good tires on a twisty road u'll fall in love with it !
cant wait till megelli release theirs
@SDSproduction tou help a lot...ty
@owens10101 well done is a big step from aprilia rs50 to hayabusa but anyway you know ...but why isnt the aprilia rs 125 reliable?
I looked at getting a brand new YBR125 which was the same price as my CBR and I'm glad I got the CBR. There's nothing wrong with the Yammy as it is just a commuter bike. Its just that outside of commuting, the Honda is much more fun. I wouldn't say its an out an out sports bike, likewise as a commuter. It does make a brilliant alrounder in my eyes. And yes I will get another stroker, when the work improves will look at getting an old skool 250 version of the RG.
well kool if you like them thats up to you :) , i'm just talking from experiance with small bikes.....when i got rid of mine n moved up wa sthe best decission i ever made :)
were u from? because in britain u can only legaly ride a 125cc if ur on a provisional
They already did ages ago, in 2011 they completely redesigned the CBR 125 and made it look like the CBR 250, it looks amazing

Yeah, if you’re drunk. At least it doesn’t pretend to be a super sport bike unlike its competitors. Not including the 2T ones of course.
I just got my yamaha yzf 125, and my friend just got his aprilia rs. Both look great, but the 4stroke sounds so much better. Motorwise of course the aprilia is faster but his motor is already having some difficutlies unlike mine which is going perfectly and been goin up to 121kmh
@ThomasMin1988 no, unless you buy it with the restrictors taken out. and in which case, it will be very fast, to the garage!
Just found this video. Ahhhhhh. The 'wonderful' Triangle. lol
Can i drive a 125 in england at 16??
are those bikes or scooters?
@aseskns for 4k you get a great treated used 600cc biek which looks awesome... like a 636 or a R6
@nrjelley 125, bikes the frames arn't always smaller its usally just the engine size. You can get bigger framed bikes.
@aseskns probabli because they are under 18 i don;t know or you could sped 3k on a zx6r second hand
@aseskns Why spend 4k on a ninja 250r when you can go from 125cc directly to 600cc or do as I did, go directly from 50cc just playing around with larger bikes.
amen to that!!
tbh i would prefer a 2stroke (even if they do sometimes sound like hairdryers :Plol) so i guess that leaves me with either a yamaha dt or the aprilla rs (i think its the rs) but i prefer the styling of a supermoto nowadays, plus you know what the weathers like in the uk atm, so i could always play around with the wheels i put on on a dt
My Bro got a Honda NSR and it fast and fair good on fuel even at high revs
@RadicakX but the yama runs 40 kilomter on 1 liter, and the aprillia has to stop every 500 meters.
GUYS PLEASE HELP ME,,, IM SO CONFUSED !! I DONT KNOW WHICH BIKE SHOULD I GO FOR (YAMAHA 125 OR THE APRILLIA 125) AS A FIRST BIKE... IM ATTENDING TO KEEP THE BIKE FOR MAYBE THE NEXT 2 OR 3 YEARS. IM LOOKING FOR LOOKS AND AS WELL AS POWER AND SOUND.
YZF is the best if you got a lot of money on your hands i currently own one and im not passing my main motorbike test until im forced to...... i get to work and back so easy and use so little fuel and ignition its honestly great.
I got an ARROW racing full exhaust system! A dreamsound! :P
oh and the cbr is more comfortable if your tall , i got wrist ache quite quick on the rs125
yeah guess so, well cheers and nice riding ;)
ya ia dmit the yammi looks ncie if i could go back to my youth ide have one of those.
@aseskns mby you are able to get a 250cc bike in Greece :) But in UK 125cc is the limit without a proper motorcycle driving license. And btw you can get a 125 two stroke in mint condition for about 1000-1500 eur, just have to look better =)) Had a cagiva raptor 125 before changing to 600cc, still miss it.
Back 12 years ago if you had gone out and bought all these 3 bikes the 4 strokes will be worth scrap money and the rs is worth around £2500/£3000
aha wielkie dzięki tylko sie boje że będzie troche zamały bo mam 190cm wzrostu
Do you mean the width of the tyres? If so, yes, I agree entirely. I don't own a CBR125 or anything but just speculating, I have to say I wouldn't feel too confident throwing it into corners.
@Olinolan190 rs 125's come restricted meaning they are learner legal and 2 strokes are reliable it just depends on what way you ride it. i have had my rs for a year now and its never gave me any trouble i run good 2 stroke, warm it up well and rev the complete pish out of it ! the only thing ive had to do is change the plug and gearbox oil. id defiantly recommend 1 because once you pass your test and are looking for a bit of fun all you have to do is restricted it where as the the 4stroke well..
@shortee3353 So enlighten us, how is 100km/h pavement different on a Harley Roadking than on a Honda CBR125?
@majkolbb you have to mix 2stroke oil with the fuel, you can buy it in most gas stations.
@JDMz

Most 2 strokes run oil pumps. That's only motocross 2 stroke bikes that you could pre mix. You can still pre mix the rs etc but you had to do away with the oil pump. Still do pre mix on my cagiva. That had an oil pump but didn't last.
best bike for beginners honda CBR 125r Or the CBF
i got a yamaha ybr125 (only 17 yrs old) want the yzf though!
@aseskns because the insurance on a ninja 250 is around about £1000 for a 17 year old
sick yamaha. why dont we get that in north america?
Ah, interesting thought. Yes, they absolutely should :)
