Agreed. They're high reving engines.

I have been wanting to buy a CBR 125 but I always hear mixed reviews on them. Some people say they are one of the best bikes ever and some people say the complete opposite.

Thanks for the honest review. Currently in the maket for my first 125 and like the look (and price) of the used CBR's, but it has been difficult to find an unbiased review such as this. Good vid. Funny too! Lovin the go faster stripes! Hahaha. Think I'll be havin me some of them! Lmao

Wow, cool video! love that I can hear you talk while your riding

Really enjoyed that review - very nicely done.

Tip: For the CBR125 peak torque is at about 7,700rpm and peak power at 8,800rpm, if you want to take advantage of max power and torque when you accelerate (eg - for a 0-60) you need to aim for about 9,000rpm before changing gear ;) Looks like I'll on a CBR 125 myself in a couple of weeks, videos like this keep me going, keep it up!

Thank you Jaden, I'm glad it was of some use, I shall check your channel out :)

Not all about speed, you treat it right and it will treat you right. Just being sensible

@PaddyBishProductions I'd say it is. In my opinion, the only drawbacks it has are small tire sizes and low top speed, but everything else about it is spot on. A good cost-quality ratio, no doubt about that.

very good pub for honda!-the best cbr125 video on youtube

i have an 06 cbr 125, great great great bike not a bad thing I can say about it! highly recommend it for a learner. Passed mod 1 on it today and now I have mod 2 booked for tuesday

Nice video dude keep it up!

I've been riding mine for about a month now (07 model) and it's great fun! I even did a UK tour on it (about 750 miles over 4 days) If you are thinking of going for a sports bike at a later date, then this bike should suit you well - it's quick, agile, sporty looking, extremely cheap to run (80-90mpg) and holds it's value well. Just don't expect to bust much over 60mph, it does start to struggle when you get over 50mph. Be sure to look after the brake calipers as they can stick and wear unevenly

Alright mate? Where abouts are these roads? they remind me alot of the roads around my end from knutsford through to Warrington, Great review also!

I have a 57 plate of this with repsol colours, I love it, pretty sure you change gear way to early, I change at like 8 or 9 RPS I get 75 mph no problem I have had 85 but struggled a lot, people need to come on a ride with me at some point :-)

Wow this brought back memories. I did 38,500miles on my cbr 125 '05. I never had a problem other than user inflicted, and only ever had 3 services done in all that, so their bloody reliable too lol. Personally I changed up at 8k revs because that's where the power started trailing off on mine. I once got 81.9mph on GPS going down a very long hill lol, bouncing off the rev limiter. I added heated grips, SatNav and chain oiler. Most miles I did in a day was 300, with climbing Snowdina, happy days

if ur gonna do a 0-60 at least shift around 10,500 rpm rather than 6-7

I've recently done my cbt and this bike is one of the best things i've ever invested in. so easy to ride, easier than the yzf especially if you've only just done your cbt. top end isn't too bad tbh

Cheers for posting this video Thumbs up

nice bike. Good video there; im planning on getting one myself next year. Are they fairly easy to ride and would you recommend it to new riders?

You can get them from most bike shops.. Or search rim tape for motorcycles on ebay

Too true about the headlamps, weird in my case though, low beam would not work at all, however full beam worked fine, I guess the filaments for the low beam went, anyway my whole bulb was browned and burnt, once one goes the other will too, just had them both replaced with halogen bulbs and they're great, good review on the bike! have had my black and silver "05 model for 8 months now, still runs great, I have a Gbmoto exhaust on mine and it sounds incredible :O

Love it go faster stripes add at least 5bhp!! Seriously though good review.. Good little tip about the high vis vest as it sounds a minor thing but I've been at the side of the road in the dark for an hour and cars just can't see you. Love the CBR but because I'm 33 I got the CBF instead have put a scorpion exhaust on it though..

Great thankyou mate

I love two-strokes as they are so addictive, but in these hard times, the economy of a 125cc four-stroke wins me over as I've just bought a mint CG125 with just 8000 miles. There's hardly a mark on it and funny enough the bloke I bought it off only lived less than a mile away. I paid a bit more than I usually do as I only like cheap bikes, but the extra money was a small price to pay for the convenience. People are paying decent money for 125s and C90s at the moment as petrol is so expensive.

How often you have to change your tires? Whats the whole price with repair, tires, fuel...?

Like it man :), and yes it'd certainly fit someone who's 5ft5, I'm 5,7-8 ish and I found them very manageable, riding an nsr now, bigger, heavier bike but nice low seat

@PaddyBishProductions It seems to vary a bit. I can do 75mph, but I've heard others say that their CBR's can go 85mph.

There is a black dipstick in the side of the Clutch casing that just unscrews.

Getting a cbr125 2011 next year

Did you remap the ECU while attaching the exhaust? because to my knowledge, aftermarket exhausts can mess with the afr and damage the engine.

great video, are you planning to upgrade to a 250 or 600?

Hey there, The seat height is 776 mm (30.6 in) I'm 5'7" and it was a perfect size for me. Hope that helps

It's a rev counter mate not a revometer, I'm thinking of getting one recommend it?

wow what a beautiful place to go ride looks peaceful. ive only got the city to ride in, i could go ride on the highways but i live in the prairies so its just flat and boring. very jealous. also very good video!

what protective gear would you recommend for a 125? is leather too much? are textiles not enough? what boots would you recommend ??

also my lights don't work, neither does my horn, would that be a fuse fault or loose connection somewhere? please give me feed back as it is my first bike and im not too sure. thanks

@Jayblock181 I seem to remember getting 75mph, but that was slight down grade, no wind :)

When I bought it, it was just under £2000, but this was from a dealer, I'm sure there are cheaper CBR's if you was to buy private, I just like the idea of buying from a dealer, because if anything was to go wrong, you know where to go and they'd sort it.

wait, is that 5 brake horsepower per wheel for the stripes?

Sorry for the late reply, yeah its a good all rounder, I'm 5ft 7, and weight 11 stone, was great for me.

Hi. Great video. Just wondering how much horsepower the CBR125 has? Cheers

i cant imagine that you DIDNT catch that, i actually lol'd about that !

Hi i have a problem with my bike, its a cbr 125. When im riding like going up into 6th gear randomly somtime it will just rev crazy and go to the red. I have no idea why and have my hand no were near the clutch. It normally happens when i first set off on my journey but friday i was on it for ages it in 6th gear for a long time and it just did it. It makes me have to slow down and gets on my nerves. Any ideas? thanks.

@thumpstar0wns Hey matey, The down pipe was completely shot, and where it conected to the can It had welded itself together, causing the bolts holding it together to rush shut, and they sheered and snapped on attempting to unbolt, subsequently I disposed of it :( sorry my friend

Whats the noise like?? Is it squeaky, or does it have a rawr! like a loud deep noise?? hit back

Hello there i have a cbr125 myself and do you find you have to get it too around 5000 - 6000 rpm to get it going from still ?

Hey, Although like you said the tyres are very small, In the 3 years I rode the CBR, I never really had any problems, They where Continental ContiCo Tyres which seem to be the norm on these bikes. But it has to be said as I was learning on the bike, I can't say I leant the bike to its max. I've seen it done with these so its possible :D

Hi SV! im new to bikes and was wondering if this would be a good bike to buy for first time learner. I'm just worried about the hills thing as my work is in biggin hill!

where do you put the 4stroke oil in to this?

Ive got a Cbr125, i love it. The best 125 there is but im probably biased lol. Its not as slow as you make out, its does just short or 60 in 3rd gear if you take it to rev limiter. My Cbr reaches 70 no problem on flat but i weigh like 8 stone. Its faster than most average cars on the road, i.e Corsas or Polos, small cars like that. On my Cbr ive got a K'N type filter and its sounds brilliant, possibly a little loud but it helps the bike rev smoother upto the redline. I would defiantly advise one

These bikes aren't too shabby, I had a 55 plate one of these as a first bike and after that, I bought the 2012 variant, Repsol replica and now I am on an RSV4, and in comparison.... it is a shocking bike for going 'riding'. but as a commuter and basic vehicle to trot about on, not too bad.

What is the giant red "L" for?

Im just buying a bike and iw as wondering which bike to get ninja 250 or cbr 125 my first bike as well ..

Is small a bad thing? That's the reason I'm getting it, I live in a busy town so its great for me when in traffic.

please what camra do you use ?? as i really want one :)

considering that I have a cbr 125 in blue (the best colours for the bike) the bikes speed is great... it can get to 65 with no trouble at all (not 55...) 70 comes up eventually. the other thing with that "speed test" was 1 no revs to pull away and 2 he was changing at around 7k revs which is just before the real power on the bike. All 125's are like that however if you want it to go fast you have to treat it like the bike it is... changing gears at 9k revs.

Many Thanks :)

@TheSvBiker nice one, keep up vids

Would it fit someone who is 6foot 2? and 14stone?

Does anybody know how many decibel arrow exhaust for cbr 125 produce without db killer?? Please answer!!

If you're going to test the acceleration at least take it to the red line when you're changing gear...

Would this fit someone who is 5ft5?

Nice video might want to buy one of these bikes. Yes of no? :)

@hellomotofive5 Hi Ya, The Camera I use is a Drift Stealth 170 HD, if you google it, you'll find it there, Got mine brand new from Ebay, the External Microphone is seperate, also from Ebay.Recommend it :)

With which Cam do you film, while you are driving??

How is this bike with two people on it?

Yes,it would.No problem whatsoever.

how is the insurance on the bike

Hi, just wondering what's the seat hight of these bikes? :)

Hi i'm really interested in this bike and was just wondering what the seat hight is?

I must say, I've been given plenty of stick regarding the 0-60, quite righty so. It was a pretty poor attempt. I guess being a newbie at the time resulted in epic fail. Thanks for your kind words :)

Erm, My honest opinion is, it sounds like a 125 :) With the stock exhaust there isn't really anything to shout about, But running the bike with a after market exhaust like the one I fitted sounds great with the Baffle out. A friend of mine has the same bike, I now have an SV 650, and I can still hear his 125 Motad Venom exhaust in front of me :)

hello ive heard that you have a sv650 now and was wondering if your selling your cbr? and how much for? cheers

So what is the top speed? It can get to 60mph and above, surely?

Great video man! I ride a honda cbr 125 r 2005 model, I can hit 80 pretty easy on mine. Not sure if that's because the newer models were made slower, but if you know why is love to know. Cheers

oh right, the carbs must be slightly better with the cbr then. thanks for the info man.

Smart :) They are fun bikes :)

nice one same as mine but no repsol ;) Ill change gear around 8k though. and on the going from that to a big bike front, I really struggle to even move my mums R6 because im so used to the lightness of the CBR. And yeah ive been through 2 low beam bulbs this year (twin filliment) soory bout the random comments but im writing as i watch lol

@dicey100 Hey Dicey, If it only happens in 6th I can't say I've experienced that, However, when I first started riding the bike, I found it would jump out of gears and straight back into neutral, at first I thought it was a problem with the bike, but it turned out I was not clicking it into gear hard enough. Strange that one, might be worth checking out some forums?

Its 13hp standard, same for carb and injected models i think.

How tall are you? And is the comfort good ?

whats the top speed?

Do you get another 5 bhp with stripes on your tires?? That is what you said :P

@guitaristom121 Hi there, I'd have to agree with you, I thought that once I'd got to the end of the road, so will have to give it another go, some point next year when I get some free time :)

Yes

i Change my gear in the first gear at 4000 and the other gears at 5.500

How much was your cbr?

@TheSvBiker :O okay well thanks for the quick reply, ride safe :D

6:50 a bit small lol thats what i was waiting for you to say. I was gonna get 1 n it looked like 1/2 scale :P

When doing the 0-60 you shifted very early let the rpms build to get the most out of it :/

The CBR125 would be far better if it had wide tyres, especially the rear. Also, if the tail piece was squarer and had a more aggressive appearance and the bike wider, then it would appeal to me, even though I've been riding for 16 years now. I often mistake the CBR125 for a moped when I'm sat behind one in traffic because of the tail piece and skinny rear tyre. Never knew it had a rear compartment. Nice touch though.

Hey man hows the bike for 2 people say 350 pounds

@trgitw Hi there, The CBR 125 is nice little learner bike, very easy to ride, very light weight, and nimble. Once you get used to the bike. However, In my own opinion, After getting the bike, I feel it's just a little to small. Very slim, and I don't think it gets you ready for when or if you get a bigger bike? Other than that, nice bike. I really have enjoyed riding it :)

It's 2007 model? I thought that they look very different in 2007.

lol why didnt u throttle it till 11,000rpm? i do on my cbr125 all the time, love the sound of the scorpion can ive got onit, baffle removed of course :P mine does like 80mph, 05 model

This is learner legal right?

good video i have just bought the lexmoto xtrs 125cc ..its the copy of the cbr 125cc.. not the fastest bike but worth the 1200£ brand new ...

Ichange gear at the 9 mark :)

relax 'thank you for you kind words' its not a funeral

my daughter is 5" 2 would this bike be small enough for her , she is struggling to find a bike that she can fit on ...
