How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for learning sportbike fundamentals, commuting through city traffic, and having fun on twisty backroads rather than for outright speed.
- Built for
- The R125 has a playful, eager sportbike personality that rewards revving the small single-cylinder engine hard and flicking it through corners.
- Not ideal for
