haha a cagiva moto 500 wait till u can control a cbr 1000 id only love to see u drive one u would shit your pants in about 5 minutes hahahahahahahahaha
I used this to practice for my road closed circuit exam and it was awesome! Loved the feel, sound, but I don't know how the size compares with normal size sport bikes... because all bikes were 250-500 cruisers and a cbr125r. I'm roughly 5'11, weighing 140lbs. Also, I wont be going higher than 110km/h. Any thoughts? I verification if this is good for me, THANKS!
@gyghost It will do highways, but merging might be a bit of a white knuckle affair. Other than that, they're fine bikes. Super light. You can find them dirt cheap on Craigslist too.
Hi. I`m new to Motorcycles and I was wondering if you would recommend this bike to a beginner??? Also they have the exact same bike @ my local HONDA dealership for €1495.00!!!
@xxPanteraxxx Hey, I am in the same boat as you but have done some research so assuming you know what CC means, 125 CC isn't very big so its not very powerful compared to say...600 CC. Nonetheless I would say its defiantly a great bike for a beginner aslong as you're not planning to go on highways. I have been looking at this one and Kawasaki Ninja 250 which is also a beginner bike but has obviously more power.
@begley09 Of course I know what CC means. And nope, I don`t plan on taking it on the motorway/highway, or anything. Just finding a bit hard to choose which bike I would actually like, but thanks for your feedback and let me know what bike you decided purchase :D
@begley09 If you're planning to ride with friends that have their own, bigger motorcycles, then it might be a good idea to get the Ninja 250 instead. I probably would have kept my CBR125R if I only rode on my own.
Hey, are gearshifts easy to learn? I'm almost 15 and in Finland we are allowed to drive 125cc bikes at the age of 16, so I'm just doing some research. I have never tried a bike with a gearbox. And is this a good bike for beginners or would you recommend something else?
@sebbobroffa you can't find a better beginners' bike and shifting gears on a motorbike is much easier than in a car in my opinion. I've been driving cars for nearly two years and still stall more often than I ever did on a motorbike, you use your left hand so its much easier to control
@baklis007 i would usually put in 15 dollars for a tank, let me think... thats about 15 litres, or just under 4 gallons. that would get me 100km, or about 60 miles. so about 18mpg or so i guess...
food for thought, you are supposed to apply equal pressure to both brakes when coming to a stop or slowing down. if you only used your front brakes in a turn then you could easily drop your bike. safety first:p
You should bring the CBR 150R And 125R models to america! They are both great starter bikes, and they are both considered mopeds here. Which means 15 and 16 year olds can ride a real sport bike that has real sport bike power, gears, and rpm, instead of some ugly CVT mopeds.

@prohacker883 Take the motorcycle course if you haven't already. It might save you the pain of dropping a brand new bike. The 125R is great for cities, but it might be difficult to catch up on the freeway if you ride with buddies that have 600+ bikes.
@onedOLlarDuDE Sweet, thanks man, but when I test drove it a little, it seemed slow, so I'm kind of leaning towards a 2008 NINJA 250R. But thanks for your advice :)
@MadDogMeh From what I've heard they are very easy to ride, I ride a japanese 125cc but it's in a cruiser style, and that is VERY easy to ride as well. I admire you for getting a 125 because you're a starter, I've heard so many horror stories about young Americans buying CBR1000 cc bikes for their first bike, nice to know there are still sensible people in America!
The old ex250s were hideous. I learned to ride right before they updated them! I also have Muscular Dystrophy which I was not being treatedfor at the time so I was limited to scooters by more than choice :( . After my condition improved I went to a standard bike (ex500, yea ugly too but the price was great) I still love scooters though. I own a Suzuki Burgman 400 and in a few more months ill be buying a new motorcycle, maybe a ninja 650r or or suzuki sv650.
Wish we had these in the US when I was just learning, only scooters in this range here. I see too many beginners seriously injured because they start on a CBR600rr instead. We need better beginner laws.
@galten123 im the same height as you and i sat on the yamaha yzf 125 which is slightly bigger and it fit me fine, the honda should be fine for us both XD
By far the ugliest 125 money can buy, and it is very unequipped comared to other 125's. I have a 1993 Cagiva Mito, which has upside down forks, a seven speed gearbox, a front disk the size of the rim, a hydraulic clutch, a rear wheel twice the width of the rear on the honda - and the list goes on...
True this is a learners bike, but what about when you get your full license? you want something that can keep up with everyone else, without having to spend more money - bad buy my friend, bad buy.
@MotoXprt Your first bike isn't necessarily your last bike, unless you get into a horrific accident. You can always sell your bike when you want to move up.
@3:23 please dont shift from a high gear to neutral after a complete stop. im getting chills in my teeth to hear the gearbox scream. normally, you should shift when the bike is running gradually based on the speed and the speed you want to go.
@MegaFeargal Bullshit, that Honda engine is sluggish and weak. If you have Cagiva Mito like me, then you can get 33bhp when de-restricted, and 107mph, with ape shit acceleration!
you said you "wouldn't recommend taking a passenger on this bike" yet you didn't explain why you think so and why there is a passenger seat/foot rest if passengers aren't recommended?
@mmmcr00 its only a 125cc (13hp), its not that powerful so its going to strain the engine putting extra weight, not to mention this bike is relatively small in size so it could be a little cramped.
Hey, did you mod your 125? Both your head lights are on, but here in Canada our stock 125's have one side as the regular light and the other side for the high beams.
Is this grand canaria? or any other of canary islands? Looks just like grand canaria :) But i'm gettin one soon :) But is this easy to tune up? I mean if it has bad accerlation, it could be tuned. and is this good for me as i have experience on a moped (50cc), Does that count? :)
@AdZeTraCeur in the very first sentence i say it's Cape Town, which is South Africa. it's not too powerful, so not problem coming from 50cc, can;t upgrade too much though
Is this grand canaria? or any other of canary islands? Looks just like grand canaria :) But i'm gettin one soon :) But is this easy to tune up? I mean if it has bad accerlation, it could be tuned.
Just picked the same bike 1 day ago, WHAT A BLAST. It pulls all the way to the redline without excessively throwing you... just an amazing bike. Will post videos shortly.
dude mind if i ask im just 18 and im about to get a motorcycle license anyway wat i wanted 2 ask was tat does this bike has 2 brakes front and back and clutch ??
@kav996 Do you have license restrictions? If not, then go for a Ninja 250R instead. I find the extra power of the Ninja more reassuring while not overwhelming.
If you go for a second hand bike, make sure you get it inspected before you buy it.
this guy if funny as hell and law follower. "im so worry about speed limit." if you have a bike you fuck the law ans speed limit. thats an attitude of real biker
@bykashka75 your an idiot. rawr im a real biker i do 160 on the highway just so an old lady can pull out infront of me and i die instantly, rawr im a real biker. ....shut the fuck up and get over your teenage angst.
You really need to invest in some racing gear or atleast reinforced jeans and a leather jacket. One rash at 50km/h+ and you'll officially be scarred for life, with the possibility of never using your arms or legs agan. You might get warm in the gear, but you wont get dummied if you're taken down by another motorist.
Keep in mind, bike safety isn't all about YOUR safety. It's the dipshits on the road that don't respect bikers
@DistraughtYouth Very true, this was days after I got it, I later did get proper gear and when I upgraded to the Ninja 250R got a full leather bike jacket. I always wore helmet and gloves and mostly jeans and a thick jacket. About the scarred for life part: 3 and a half months ago I was in a collision with another vehicle on the Ninja 250R, broke my left thigh bone (Femur) in about 3 places, as well as my collar bone, some bad road rash on my left leg. In long pants. Still limping
@procax0 That's brutal man, and it's exactly what I meant. People don't respect bikers. They don't understand that we're exposed to the elements and get ripped up with the slightest of contact. Hope all is well though =)
@DistraughtYouth So right, I'm passing through hell to get my parents to buy me my first bike (Which hopefully will be a NSR125) And they can't stop warning me about the other drivers etc. It's not how I ride they're worried about, but yes, about the other drivers.
just a tip don't wear shorts and put on a jacket u dick or else u going to get hurt plus its a pretty fast 125cc and its only small 125cc 4 stroke engine so its not going to be a rocket . : P
i already own a yamaha 125ttr dirtbike. when im 16 (1 year) do you think this will be a good bike, or should i spend a bit more money and get the kawasaki ninja 250r?
i was wondering about gettin one of these bt i was also wundrin if its worth spending more to get the yamaha yzfr125. any ideas? also are the 2 strokes much faster when restricted (im in the UK by the way)
I bought one of these for my very first bike back in 2004 brand new! Was ok, but I moved on quick, needed more power, bought an '00 CBR600F after 3 months of buying it!!
Those are FUN little Bikes! Have Ridden a couple of 'em ... one, a friends equipped with a Hindle exhaust and the other, a training Bike we have as part of our local Motorcycle Training Program. I am a 48 yr old male, a certified Motorcycle Instructor and have in the past owned 650 and 800cc Bikes ... am currently without due to personal circumstances, but am seriously considering the CBR125R as my next Ride ... they are perfect for around town, backroads and commuting and cheap to own and run!
yea the footpeg and rearbreak but i know it has a passenger seat but wats the point if someone else gets on it would be hard for the bike to move i only have a 110cc pcoket bike x22 but moving to a 125 for gettin around and used to clutch btw iam only 15
No it can go any speed depending on the tuning/adaptations of the bike. think about it if a 125 could go 125km then a 1000cc could go 1000km !, also its not about how loud the exhaust is it depends on the bike and the exhaust just helps
@lauriecanner this bike does 140km/h. 125ccm is the volume of the engine, has nothing to do with speed. for example I don't have this bike anymore. I have a 250cc motorbike now, which drives +/. 175km/h (not 250), but my brother has a 750cc which only goes 210 because its a different style of bike
@lauriecanner in reality that is not true because the drag at 1000 km would be much more than traveling at 125Km so you would need more power to get to that speed.
@bringerofrage are you stupid? simply re-read what i wrote its saying think about it if a 125 could go 125 then a 1000 could go 1000km which is simply ridiculous. im trying to make a point. If you think im stupid enough to think your 4000cc car can go 4000km/H then your probably as stupid as i thought you were..
Before you have a go at me, I am 6'2" and 98kg and ride this bike everyday very easily. My two sons love it also, and my wife rides it when I am on my 1050cc Triumph Sprint. Now i think i have some idea what I am talking about.
He is a homo because he rides a 125!! I want everyone to know that you are wasting your time and money getting a 125 !! Start with a 250 then you can upgrade to 500-600-650. If you start with 125 you can upgrade to a 250, and a 250 is still small
The CBR125 has terrible accerleration. It is gutless. It is probley dangerous, considering it has such bad accerleration.
Sure, if you're a child then, yah, get the bike. If you a MAN then DON'T get the bike.
You are a dumb shit! I thought the point to riding a bike is to enjoy the freedom of two wheels. It doesn't matter what one rides as long as they get what they want out of the ride.
All you have done is prove to the readers here is you are dick head. If it is the only bike one has ridden thats ok. (poolbor)
everyone has to start on something. This is safe and user friendly.
PS I love this little bike as much as my Triumph sprint.
@BholeViolater I said nothing about your penis. I don't care that you don't like the bike. What I take offence at is the incredibly savage way you attacked this guy and his bike.You are an offensive human being. You could have simply said. "I don't like this bike it is small and slow".To yell "HOMO" is offensive.
@doublearon86 its a good bike to start with ive got one but when you get used to it its a tad slow if you want one thats a bit faster get an nsr 2 stroke should do sort of 90 mph looks simlar to the cbr just a bit older and faster .
haha a cagiva moto 500 wait till u can control a cbr 1000 id only love to see u drive one u would shit your pants in about 5 minutes hahahahahahahahaha

Is this grand canaria? or any other of canary islands? Looks just like grand canaria :) But i'm gettin one soon :) But is this easy to tune up? I mean if it has bad accerlation, it could be tuned. and is this good for me as i have experience on a moped (50cc), Does that count? :)

@AdZeTraCeur in the very first sentence i say it's Cape Town, which is South Africa. it's not too powerful, so not problem coming from 50cc, can;t upgrade too much though

@kav996 Do you have license restrictions? If not, then go for a Ninja 250R instead. I find the extra power of the Ninja more reassuring while not overwhelming.
If you go for a second hand bike, make sure you get it inspected before you buy it.

You really need to invest in some racing gear or atleast reinforced jeans and a leather jacket. One rash at 50km/h+ and you'll officially be scarred for life, with the possibility of never using your arms or legs agan. You might get warm in the gear, but you wont get dummied if you're taken down by another motorist.
Keep in mind, bike safety isn't all about YOUR safety. It's the dipshits on the road that don't respect bikers
DistraughtYouth 1 year ago 27
@DistraughtYouth Very true, this was days after I got it, I later did get proper gear and when I upgraded to the Ninja 250R got a full leather bike jacket. I always wore helmet and gloves and mostly jeans and a thick jacket. About the scarred for life part: 3 and a half months ago I was in a collision with another vehicle on the Ninja 250R, broke my left thigh bone (Femur) in about 3 places, as well as my collar bone, some bad road rash on my left leg. In long pants. Still limping

@procax0 That's brutal man, and it's exactly what I meant. People don't respect bikers. They don't understand that we're exposed to the elements and get ripped up with the slightest of contact. Hope all is well though =)

@DistraughtYouth So right, I'm passing through hell to get my parents to buy me my first bike (Which hopefully will be a NSR125) And they can't stop warning me about the other drivers etc. It's not how I ride they're worried about, but yes, about the other drivers.

Those are FUN little Bikes! Have Ridden a couple of 'em ... one, a friends equipped with a Hindle exhaust and the other, a training Bike we have as part of our local Motorcycle Training Program. I am a 48 yr old male, a certified Motorcycle Instructor and have in the past owned 650 and 800cc Bikes ... am currently without due to personal circumstances, but am seriously considering the CBR125R as my next Ride ... they are perfect for around town, backroads and commuting and cheap to own and run!

frasier900 2 years ago
No it can go any speed depending on the tuning/adaptations of the bike. think about it if a 125 could go 125km then a 1000cc could go 1000km !, also its not about how loud the exhaust is it depends on the bike and the exhaust just helps
lauriecanner 2 years ago
@lauriecanner this bike does 140km/h. 125ccm is the volume of the engine, has nothing to do with speed. for example I don't have this bike anymore. I have a 250cc motorbike now, which drives +/. 175km/h (not 250), but my brother has a 750cc which only goes 210 because its a different style of bike
procax0 1 year ago 2
@procax0 So this bike would easily do 90-100km/hr without too much fuss from the engine?
TheConspiracyRealist 1 year ago
@lauriecanner in reality that is not true because the drag at 1000 km would be much more than traveling at 125Km so you would need more power to get to that speed.

@bringerofrage are you stupid? simply re-read what i wrote its saying think about it if a 125 could go 125 then a 1000 could go 1000km which is simply ridiculous. im trying to make a point. If you think im stupid enough to think your 4000cc car can go 4000km/H then your probably as stupid as i thought you were..

Before you have a go at me, I am 6'2" and 98kg and ride this bike everyday very easily. My two sons love it also, and my wife rides it when I am on my 1050cc Triumph Sprint. Now i think i have some idea what I am talking about.

THIS GUY IS A HOMO.
He is a homo because he rides a 125!! I want everyone to know that you are wasting your time and money getting a 125 !! Start with a 250 then you can upgrade to 500-600-650. If you start with 125 you can upgrade to a 250, and a 250 is still small
The CBR125 has terrible accerleration. It is gutless. It is probley dangerous, considering it has such bad accerleration.
Sure, if you're a child then, yah, get the bike. If you a MAN then DON'T get the bike.

@BholeViolater
You are a dumb shit! I thought the point to riding a bike is to enjoy the freedom of two wheels. It doesn't matter what one rides as long as they get what they want out of the ride.
All you have done is prove to the readers here is you are dick head. If it is the only bike one has ridden thats ok. (poolbor)
everyone has to start on something. This is safe and user friendly.
PS I love this little bike as much as my Triumph sprint.

@BholeViolater I said nothing about your penis. I don't care that you don't like the bike. What I take offence at is the incredibly savage way you attacked this guy and his bike.You are an offensive human being. You could have simply said. "I don't like this bike it is small and slow".To yell "HOMO" is offensive.

Start by NOT getting this bike. Get a 250 instead. You will be very happy that you did that.
