Great vid, seriously thinking about the Kawasaki Ninja 125 as my first bike.

I loved my Ninja 125, was gutted when I had it stollen

Uk?

The fact is that it sounds so much better in person than it does in this video

Just bought one second hand as my very first vehicle and it is such an amazing experience, i do not regret it and i got it super fast coming from a car.

Love your enthusiasm and content 🙂

i wish kawasaki had some other bikes with this styling, if the ninja 400 looked more like this id have definitely gone for it 🥲 im so glad bikes like this have full effort put into them by manufacturers, ive been so happy with my R15 and i think so many people undervalue these kind of bikes (especially in the US) because theres an impression that theyre just too small when for many things theyre totally adequate 😄 ive never seen another r15 (v3) on the streets here which makes me sad cuz its sooo much more affordable than anything else with equivalent sports styling

Bro no way you just crossed paths (or roads) with a testarossa. Good informative video btw

I bought a second hand Mash 125cc 7 black series as my first bike 12 months ago. It’s a great learner bike and the low cost means you don’t worry too much about it getting a bit knocked about.

My first bike was back in 1996 and was a Yamaha TZR125 YPVS two stroke, which had almost 29bhp and did several times, just over 100mph (but only just). Small two strokes are seriously powerful compared to four strokes. If you can find a big two stroke, like a 400cc, then try and have a go....they are mental even today 🙂

That’s a great review 👍

Seeing this now. Great vid just a question, would you recommend this to shorter riders?

All the lights on the dash are surface-mounted on the circuit board. I imagine going to separate lights would have required top much additional design and prototyping work. Possibly added significant production cost.

Thanks for helping me choose a bike 🤩😁

I'm a middle aged man thinking of buying his first motorcycle. This one looks pretty good to me, I like the sporty looks but I don't wish to Ride any faster than that

Go to your local dealers' and sit on one. Ask 'em if you can stay on it a while. You want to be in the correct riding position, hands on bars, wrists loose (I've been told forearms parallel to the ground, but I'm not 100% on that), right foot on the peg, left foot on its peg if they're good with that (your weight will be held up only by the side stand, unless they have a paddock stand strong enough). You want to chill like that for at least a good half hour. If nothing aches - you're good to go. If-and however you can't stand up properly after sitting on the bike for half an hour, I'd ask them to point you to something with a more upright riding position. That said, I would generally advise against a 125 outside of L-plate use for the simple reason that they get quite viby at regular road speeds. It's just the nature of one cylinder engines. They put balance shafts in them and mount them on good dampers, but there's only so much you can do. It's not impossible to tour or take long trips on one - I used to do it when I still wore an L-plate, but my arse and legs would go completely numb from the vibrations after no more than an hour at or above 50mph. Not a problem for city use, but outside of that I'd be thinking about something a bit smoother, that won't have to be sitting so close to its redline at regular road speeds.

Hi, any idea what type of helmet lock should I buy for this bike? And where can I install the helmet lock? There doesn’t seem to have a place for me to lock my helmet

Hey Goblin I want to buy a bike and I deciding my self for this one or the Husqvarna Svartpilen 125, what do u think is the best choice ?

what not read the owners manual haha :) awesome vid!

would u recomend kawasaki or duke 125(i want to get a duke but im getting other opinoons)

Did my CBT about the time you posted this video. I really liked the look of Honda's neo retro 125 (CB125R), but ultimately decided against on grounds of cost. The intention was always to do DAS unrestricted as soon as I was ready (that's how I ended up with that 125's 650cc sister). I was only on the 125 for about four months (did about 3000 miles). In hindsight, buying new was probably not a great idea. If you expect to be on your 125 for a while (say long enough to be re-doing a CBT), then the equation changes completely. In that case I probably would have sprung the extra cash for the one I preferred the look of. But yeh, as you said, 125s are more or less all as good as each other, build-wise. P.S.: Yes, I did tour on my 125. I also regularly took 300 mile round trips to see family (any weekend I could get away with).

I’ve been thinking about getting a motorbike license but I would be stuck with a 125 for a while until I can legally get more. Is it worth it or should I wait till I can get a 400

@@gibmeister5854 Even a 125 is heaps of fun. I'd use that time to get as good as you can get, including smooth throttle and brake inputs. Then when you get the 400, the extra power will only ever be nice. It won't be overwhelming. Because you'll know exactly how to handle it. Try your hand at moto gymkhana too, it's super fun!

Worth doing both. Having experience driving a car will inform you about how (in)visible you are from inside one. Also about how much less manoeuvrable they are.

Does it still have brand new? I was thinking to export one to Malaysia . We only get small powerful moped and it's pain in the ass to ride .

hi i just got a new ninja 125 yesterday can i ask what is the best phone mount for the ninja 125

I am 50(49!) and I love this kind of bike. Where I live is all bends and narrow roads. I am happy to trade power for lightness. It is not all about power.... unless compensation is needed🤏

Getting one of these this year . 30 and Jist gotten round to gettign a bike lol . Still undecided on what year colour scheme want tho

Boy they sure make the little bikes to appear bigger than they actually are. I have owned many bikes of all sizes, and this bike (at a glance) looks much bigger than it is.

Is it possible for me to drive this to my school? Its around 25 - 30 km there so it takes like 25 min drivning 90km/h in a car

Yo thx for the review, but I am looking to buy one and I find nowhere the price

I wish that bike will be launch here in phillipines

after listening the ride review, the only cons being obv the power because experienced rider used to more the indicator light only being on one side and then the gas pedal being loose which was easily fixed by a mechanic those are small cons.

Looks great,I'm hoping to do my cbt in the next month or so, should I get a decent sport 125 like this or is it better to buy a cheap commuter until I get my full A licence? I'm over 24, so not limited by age as to when I can do my test.

They should did short exhaust like the 650R

Heyo! Next february I will be old enough to move from 50cc to 125cc. You were talking about it not having a lot of power. Would you say it's like very noticeable or is it just that you are used to more powerful bikes? All and any replies are appreciated! Thank you!

Whats the price on these? I wish they sold these in the states. I only ride around for errands/commuter type stuff these days, I have a 650,636,r6,150cc scooter and 250cc bike. Guess which ones I ride the most? the 250cc and the 150cc scooter, light as hell and they get me like 60-80 MPG. I had a cheap Kymco 125 before that i loved as well but the quality wasn't there and it was a bit too tall, like dirt bike tall. A Kawi 125 I imagine would feel just right.

They're around the £4000 mark, close to $5000 in USD I suspect. Shame you don't have these in the states, especially for city riding.

Why don’t they sell them in Canada?

What is a good price for a ninja 125?

Wow its really good wow.. I'm waiting here in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Looking better than ninja 300.

I'm actually on the fence between a kawasaki ninja 125 and a KTM RC 125 , since we can ride these in belgium without having to do CBT or whats it called , a normal car licence allows us to ride 125's and also NO TAXES! so thats a win win in my book only thing thats keeping me away from the Ninja is the Rev limiter that limits its max speed and the thin rear tire , if you see this standing next to the KTM its a night and day difference seeing both bikes from the back. this should have had at least a 140 rear tire or a 150 like the ktm but the old RC's are not available anymore brand new , a trusted dealer we know has one in stock second hand 2 years old with low milage , but with the januari sales that Kawasaki is doing i can get a ninja brand new for only 700 euro more over the KTM ...
