The owners' thread​


For a lot of people the R125 is a first motorcycle, which makes this thread more useful than a typical owners' thread — you are not just reviewing a bike, you are telling someone whether their first bike should be this one.

What to include​


Code:
Country:
Model (R125 or R125S), year and mileage:
Licence: (A1 / A2 / full / CBT)
First bike, or coming from something else?
Mostly used for: (commuting / learning / weekends)

What you like:
What you don't:
Anything that has gone wrong:
Insurance cost, if you're happy to share:
Would you buy it again?

Questions people arrive with​


  • Is it comfortable enough for a daily commute?
  • How does it cope on faster roads with traffic around you?
  • Two-up — possible, or not really?
  • How is the finish holding up after a winter?
  • Anything you wish you had known before buying?

One request​


If this is your first bike, please say so. A review from someone with twenty years of experience and a review from someone six months into riding are both valuable, but they mean different things — and most people reading this thread are in the second group.
