[@michaelhwang1762]

Solid list! Where would Honda cbr 125 RR would fit in the list? Are they not available in your area? How about Darby, and Hyosung?

[@BikeMatters]

CBR 125 RR is no longer available new in the UK, don't believe the Derbi or Hyosung are available new at the moment either.

[@calmandtranquility9668]

This has cleared a lot up for me! Thanks for the list. I'll need something that goes 70mph at least for commuting, I feel so unsafe doing 60 where I'm from

Yamaha yzf r125

[@lewisdonnison9498]

Look at the lexmoto lxr if your looking for budget options

[@ignitegamer4078]

Can you do a review on a Suzuki gsx-s125

[@BikeMatters]

Thanks for your suggestion!

[@waynekieft4952]

Yzfr should be number one without a shadow of doubt!

[@MrGoblinrexy]

YZFR is awful. Not sure if you have ever ridden one, but they are plastic, cheap buttons, uncomfrotable and all round incredibly over hyped. The only reason people like it, is because it is one of the fastest 125's from an established brand, and thats it. But realistically, the bike for everyday use it awful. I sold mine after 400 miles.

[@krbaczawi]

Yeah. I had opportunity to drive all generations of yzf r125 and newest one is most uncomfortable for me. I should choose yzf r125 I think second gen is best option.

[@dhilansingh]

@@xxpertgamerxx1-646 Lexmotos are extremely unreliable and cheaply built (in china), spare parts are shipped from china and take months to arrive. I wouldn’t touch one. For a similar price you could get a Honda Cbr125r (the old model) which was one of the most reliable sports 125s up until 2017 when it was discontinued. Parts are also cheap and easily sourced in the UK.

How is it?

[@benpotter2555]

I love the look of the little pagani but I can't seem to find anybody who's given in a decent review. Can you guys get hold of one?

[@BikeMatters]

Thanks for the suggestion. I would truly love to review the Pagani - it looks like a work of art for a 125. Unsure if we will be able to get one in to test, will just have to see how the next few months go and what get's offered to us.

[@siegfriedz8211]

Did not know Lexmoto, this 125 is nice ! Still, big love for the Ktm and the Aprilia.

[@harrydewey5585]

Where do these come in second hand? Does it change the line up much at all?

[@BikeMatters]

Second hand you'll likely find Japanese models will probably hold their value better than say the Chinese produced models, otherwise it is best looking at owner reviews and forums if you are interested in a particular model.

[@gowengetter4599]

I have the Aprilia RS 125 2Stroke... for the sound...

Got my ninja 125 great little bike

can a 2007 aprilia rs 125 go over 100 mph tunned?

[@speed-hunter5965]

That "MOTORINI MT125RRI" is called "Motorstar Z200s" and yes it comes with a 200cc engine in my country. I'm actually surprised that it comes with a 125cc engine too. And oh if someone's curious, it cost about £1217 here. Directly converted from PHP.

[@hermus7347]

no its not, its a generic alibaba chinese bike, which different companies put different names on

Is a aprilia gp rs 125 a reliable bike since its 2 stroke and uses a rotax engine?

[@isakbanan6814]

It’s 4 stroke 2020 version

[@贾小民]

My bike is SUZUKI GSX S125, same engine with the champion GSX R125 but different style. I live in Australia and we don’t have as many options as people in the UK. But the price of SUZUKI is much lower here, 3800 Australian dollars drive away.

Lol they're all about the same because their built to hit the 15 hp for the A1 license class. The difference might be a few km/h but who cares about that anyway. Seriously all 125 bikes are about the same just get the one you like the looks and ergonomics of. You should start to be looking on the specs when you get into the A2 class

Just out of interest is this sponsored by lexmoto? I agree that new Chinese bikes are very good now and excellent value, but number 3 over the KTM, the R1 and the aprilia? Come on now 😉

[@BikeMatters]

Not sponsored, and we tend to mix up top 10's so isn't purely on spec. affordability comes into it so we always throw in a mix of bikes for most budgets, so the top picks aren't all premium models. The LXR is the biggest seller out of all of them in the UK so definitely popular.

[@richardbolton6215]

BikeMatters then that’s fair enough it just seemed at odds with other reviews, by the way it wasn’t a criticism I quite enjoy your videos, can you do another bike vs public transport or car one?

[@BikeMatters]

@@richardbolton6215 No worries at all, we quite like giving a mix top 10, throw some unexpected models in there, great for causing conversations and get people talking. Thank you, appreciate the comment. I'd love to do more challenge videos in the future, sadly not one for this year as we've had to do reviews in quite a short amount of time and we are planning 2021 top 10s, but hopefully next year. I'd really like to do an electric scooter challenge.

@@Vanosphere yeah I got it from a Facebook group called "one in three Lexmoto motorbikes break and go straight back to the dealership for repairs and you get a terrible aftercare service" Don't be a muppet. Everyone knows Chinese built bikes aren't even close to Japanese bikes or KTM. I was literally sat in Fowlers of Bristol dealership two days ago speaking with a rep and the place is huge with 1000's of bikes on site. They sell on behalf of 11 major manufacturers. I talked with him for 3 hours and do you know who's bikes they don't sell or that didn't even get mentioned once talking about which bikes in his vastly experienced professional opinion were some of the best bikes out there at 125?... C'mon, have a wild stab in the dark... That's right, Lex-fucking-moto. Don't be ridiculous and pretend to have an opinion on bikes if you don't really know about them. You can always educate me on the specs of the physical build comparing the Lexmoto and the KTM RC 125 together. I'd be delighted as to how you could possibly enlighten me lol. KTM upside down forks.. check.. digital speedometer/tachometer.. check.. regularly updating CPU at every service.. check.. Michelin pilot tires.. check.. liquid cooled.. check.. fully mechanical swing arm.. check.. 15bhp.. check.. fully LED lights.. check.. 84 mph top speed.. check.. ABS braking.. check.. front and rear disk brakes.. check clip on handlebars.. check.. 6 gear gearbox.. check.. 150 rear skin.. check.. looks like a bigger bike.. check.
