Suzuki GSXR 125 2018 // First Impressions 🤔

[@ThisDyingEarth]

Cheers for making the video, Kate. Been eyeing up 125s during lockdown and between your video, PistonHeadChaz's and others I've gone for this one over the Yamaha YZF-R125. Taking delivery next week. Excited as it's my first bike. Hopefully won't be too big for it.

[@UsernameKate]

Amazing!!! Enjoy it! 💪

I’m 6 ft 4, 20 stone, this bike fits me perfectly, dont let the size put you off guys this thing flys with me on it

I lived in Bolton for 12 years now live in the Lake District it’s amazing scenery up rivington love it good job been on the back of my dads bike absolutely love it

[@jamiepolson2680]

Had this bike for about 6 weeks. Love it. Finding it hard to stick to Suzuki’s brake in recommendation 😂. Loved the video too. The girls funny and proper cute.

[@UsernameKate]

Glad you're enjoying it!!! Cracking 125

[@porson2177]

I was hit by a truck 2 weeks ago and it completely ruined my kawasaki z125 it was his fault so i got alot of money, sadly they don't have any stock until 2023 so today i put a deposit down on a 2022 gsx. Im super excited to get out on it and own my second brand new bike, hopefully this one and me doesnt get flattened by a truck aha

[@radioactivekids7158]

Best review of this bike I’ve seen . Good work 👍

[@andy5786]

Thanks Kate for riding Suzuki GS X 125 I like that bike going be my first bike learning on grateful 😊❤️

[@UsernameKate]

It's a great machine!

[@renegade1987]

When i was 17 I wanted a sporty looking bike so i had 2 stroke 125's (A Cagiva Mito and an Aprilia RS125) and when they were de-restricted you could get about 30bhp from them. Although i seem to remember my dad having to rebuild both of them so it was quite a hassle to own one long term. I don't think these 4 stroke 125's will have the same issues and they look pretty cool.

Hello im haven a suzuki gsxr 125 soon b my 3rd bike first lexmoto gladiator 125 scooter then a lexmoto xtrs 125 sports bike that lasted 6 years 3rd gear box is smashed like ya video

[@georgebushaway5833]

I get scared watching videos like this, I was pulled out on doing 50mph somehow I’m still alive… I got straight up. Not sure I will get another bike, maybe a cruiser rather than a super type bike. Nice bike 🙌🏻

[@UsernameKate]

Sorry to hear that George! I got pulled out on at 30 mph and that buggered my wrists up for life :( defo get another bike, even if its a cruiser. There's nothing like life on 2 🙌 have a lovely new year!

[@walkerjian]

ahhhh, finesse, balance, and control... good to see you enjoying yourself. One peeve, about the bike, and bikes of a similar ilk, is that because they are considered not 'serious' they don't get the good quality components, brakes, tyres, suspension. Why not hiit the manufacturers up for quality gear on the smaller bike? Now that would be a 'scalpel'...

[@UsernameKate]

I guess they're built to a budget and purpose. I think on a bike of 15 bhp, maybe manufacturers see super high quality components as a little overkill perhaps? I don't know, just my thoughts. But for anyone serious about their 125 and wanting to keep it long term, there are some pretty tasty aftermarket goodies out there 😋😎 thanks for the comment, appreciate it 👍

[@walkerjian]

There were some good quality small capacity sport bikes out there though, moto morini springs to mind. Don't know what they are like now though. The old two strokes (RGV, RZ maybe) as well as the Cagivas. Be nice to have a modern fuel injected small capacity, light and flicky, bike with primo bits on it - Ohlins, brembos, etc. I don't know of any available at the moment...

[@Signals927]

Because I am only 5' 5" your video was so helpful it gave me an insight as to how I would fit on the bike if I decided to buy one, I loved the way that you broke into the ride to show yourself on the bike as well. I am undecided whether to go for the GSX-R 250 or not?

[@UsernameKate]

Hey! Did you choose a bike? Sorry for the late reply. Which did you go for?

Nice video. Wonder if you would like Ninja 400 or Cbr300r? I drove the Cbr300r and it was fun also.

[@UsernameKate]

I love the 400 market aswell! I have a ktm 690 at the moment but I've taken out a 390 duke and had sooo much fun on one of those!

Just came across this video, it's been so useful. I'm finding it hard looking for a 125cc bike, as I'm only 5'4 🤭 my inseam isn't big tbh either. Just worried my arms might be stretched out fully. Any advice?

Hey Sammy Jo! I'm 5ft 4 too with a 29 inch inside leg. You'll be fine on most 125ccs at your height 😊 you're arms shouldn't stretch at all x

Great little bike. Though I'm always out and about on sundays when it's nice enough weather. Almost wiped out on wet tram rails one time and nearly lost the front end on slippery hillside windy roads. So props to you for thrashing it around those slippery and bumpy roads out there at those speeds!

[@UsernameKate]

Just gotta trust the rubber haha!!! 🙈 I want to ride more this winter and not be such a pansy. I can't wait to embrace it! 😊

[@shiznuts]

haha, true that. :P You put me to shame. Thought MotoGP season over... my season comes to an end as well (we've already seen snow down here). Maybe need to squeeze out a couple of more days. For next year I'll probably be upgrading from ma baby Gixxer to like a Triumph Daytona 675R. So I do need to get as much experience in as I can now. :D

[@UsernameKate]

@@shiznuts 675R eh?! What an excellent aspiration. I haven't ridden one but would love to test a Street Triple 765 RS, as that's potentially my next bike. The Daytona is a stunning bike though, a perfect step up if you want to keep on with sportsbikes 👍 keep riding and keep safe.

[@shiznuts]

Yeah, there's not that much in the current 600cc-market that classifies as a supersport. A 2nd hand Triumph Daytona 675R seems to fit the bill quite nicely and I LOoOve the sound it produces (and I think the earlier model with the underseat exhaust is sexay). Triumph does provide that 765cc engines to the next season's Moto2 class... hopefully... maybe... they'll do a Daytona version too! The 44Teeth guys had a look at that Moto2 prototype of theirs... ooh la la. I could also do with that Aprilia RS660 Concept that looks production-ready at EICMA. :P But we'll see. Was just watching your CBR600RR vid at Anglesey! What a sound! And what a skill! :D Impressive. Also see you went on a Eurotrip and brought the KTM back to its roots here in Austria (I'm a Dutchie living and working in Vienna, after 10 years heading back to the Netherlands next year, right next to the circuit of Zandvoort, been doing 2 years of 125s here in Austria as a full licence is a b*tch to get here but is eazy breezy back home). Need to watch what you've been up to and get inspired it seems! :D

hiya kate is the gsxr 125 any good for a long term like 2-3 years bike do you recon im 17 and just want a gsxr 125 or a yzf 125 still debating between the two
