TOP 5 things I LOVE about my 2019 HONDA CB125R

[@bqhind]

another 5 reasons to be excited for my cb125r 😊

[@pudmoto]

Absolutely pal! You are going to absolutely love it!

[@LEGENDMATTY07_765rs]

i test rode a CB650r , felt really good but just preferred the look of the S750 for my first bike. this looks like great bike for learning on, id get the mrs one of these if she was to think about getting a bike. i had a 2008 cbr125 and absolutely loved that bike! never let me down once! left it outside all winter , come out and starts first time everytime! I do miss how much it used to cost to run a 125, you have just as much fun and like you've previously said 'Its just freedom'.

[@pudmoto]

Yeah exactly mate they really do just never miss a beat! Think the s750 is a nicer looking bike to be honest pal. Must admit i'm not looking forward to the rising petrol prices when getting a bigger bike but I bet it is so worth it hahaha

[@liamgatenby1846]

Watching these videos made me get a bike, never been on one, cbt getting booked couple off months hopefully be on the roads soon,

[@pudmoto]

Oh wow really! That's so amazing to hear mate! To know I've helped get another biker on the road is absolutely mega! Good luck with it pal 👌👌👌

[@hayyoujimmy8560]

Just sold my 125 wrx 16 plate great bike moved onto 644 supermoto ccm dam what a difference same style

[@pudmoto]

Oh wow yeah it bet that blows your head off in comparison to a 125!! Cracking looking bike too mate enjoy!

[@waynecharlton954]

My mate has just bought the cb650r it's a lovely bike and is this cb125r

[@pudmoto]

Ooooo I do love the cb650r, beautiful looking bike

[@pmay222]

i commute in s London on my 300 forza... some fella on one of these cb125r comes past me most days... suprises me how nippy for a 125.... . i actually own a nc 700x im finding the seat height a problem so considering the cb300r .... i love a bike that does 80mpg... ive had them all thru the years and just enjoy steady rides now... its all about the base NO treble... nice enjoyable vid..... lol...

[@pudmoto]

Oh yeah it is a very nippy 125, especially through traffic it is outrageously good. Hahahah the bass no treble! Cheers bud

[@GT.Bugger]

Ive wanted a bike for about years! And this year it seems like the obsession ia greater than ever. These bikes have certainly caught my eye, love the cb650r. Insurance seems to be the issue, though. Also, gear! I want to get gear before doing cbt, but it's a minefield

[@pudmoto]

Yeah it certainly isn't the easiest thing to get into, as for gear I got a bank loan for my first bike and got a little extra to start myself off with gear.

[@vioss]

You probably could get some good gear in about 20% of the new cb125r price. I just bought one as first bike and I can backup the claims on this video. A bit disappointed on the first gears as it needs 4th to hit 70kmh at least until it's first 500

[@GT.Bugger]

@@vioss I'm pretty much sorted for gear. And I'm looking to get the 2024 cbr650r 😎

[@biking-northwest]

106mpg wow. I currently get around 85/90 and I have to use E5 so costs me around £13/14 to fill from empty

[@pudmoto]

Still very impressive mate, can't beat these little bikes for running costs 👌👌👌

[@biking-northwest]

@@pudmoto one of the many reasons I love 125cc bikes. Once I put bigger jets in my carb I will definitely loose mpg to around 70 but will be one of the fastest 125cc bikes aha, well worth the trade

[@TheSquishyfishies]

What was that at the end 😂. Great video, I finally got the voge r125 went to work on it today and the amount of brethren that waved is crazy. also watching this video im seeing things that are either shared parts or are identical replicas.

[@pudmoto]

Don't even ask 😂 I'm not sure what it was! Kinda left it in because I wasn't sure how many people would still be there to see it 😂 oh mate the feeling of first getting out on the bike and getting loads of nods and waves is awesome! Doesn't wear off either!

[@TheSquishyfishies]

@@pudmoto do you use Instagram? Ive just opened a page up for my biking and a youtube page will follow at some point when i get a gopro.

[@pudmoto]

@Garysgamingworld I don't have an Instagram yet but it's on my list to do 👌

[@N_O_P_E...noabsolutelynot]

1) Agree, especially the CB 300R, 650R and the 1000R. and same I want to get a 650R but I am saving for an africa twin. 2) Absolutely but depends on what tyres you have, but new tyres with this makes it absolutely amazing. Plus the ABS has definitely saved me 3) Honda has always been great especially reliability, definitely a true and true Honda fan. 4) In the countryside and the city yes, it can last me a week to week and a half but I have been on A Roads motorway style and honestly, its terrible on that. on 20 mile on uphill and downhill motorway style, I use half a tank because its so tough on the bike (granted as it isn't built for it). but it is so cost effective especially in the city. 5) Yes, Nisin is standard on Hondas and they are be great. The LED is phenomenal especially on the country roads and you really CAN see in the dark. The Dashboard is great but in my opinion, its not bright enough and the modes to change things can be complicated. but as is, it is very good. My main gripe is that the 2018-2020 (Silver headlight units) have only 13hp where as the newer ones 2021-present (black headlight units) have increased the bore of the piston making the full fat 15hp (14.9 technical). but An phenomenal bike nonetheless From an Ex Honda CB125R Rider (2020), hoping to get newer one soon.

[@pudmoto]

Oh wow mate that's exciting saving for an Africa twin!! What year you thinking? Yeah I can really imagine that with a brand new set of tyres on it it would be even more phenomenal! Abs is beautiful haha. Indeed I'm right there with you, full on Honda fan haha my upgrade is sticking with them too 😂 yeah I've not done many motorway miles to be honest so never really got that end of the stick, but agree that for regular city stuff it pretty much can't be beaten. Must admit I have thought that in terms of the power mate, although I never really expected much from a 125 so always knew power was waiting in the higher displacement classes for me 🤣 all in all its fantastic

[@Andy-fx4yk]

Yo pud, just got myself a 2020 today and my days I love her #pudknowbest ❤

[@pudmoto]

🤣 So glad you love it mate!! Pud knows best eyy 🤣🤣 Love that

[@rocketfludy2873]

Would have been the bike i went for if i had a better budget but im looking to go for honda for my a2. Theres a lot of facebook market place 600s that i could restrict lets just hope they dont blow up. Its a great bike tho, you probably made the best choice for a 125 to start off with biking

[@pudmoto]

Yeah exactly! I was fortune enough to have the budget to be able to get a higher quality 125. Really wanted to make sure I could be proud of it for a long time! Nothing wrong with going straight for A2 mate!! It's a smart move!

[@krissalvador1715]

I just put down a deposit for the new 2023 model, if any. what were the downsides of this bike? I heard there's an issue with the forks of some of the Honda models

[@pudmoto]

That's amazing to hear buddy! My next video to come out is going to be the top 5 negatives on the bike but I really did struggle to find some because of how good it is! My forks have leaked to be honest but not sure if it's a honda problem or Showa

[@RushPierre1991]

Yo bro! Love your videos and channel actually hilarious 😂 I wanted to ask is the cb125r okay for a longer adventure? I get that it's not going to be as comfy as a bigger bike but is it more than doable? I'm about to pick mine up and wanted to tackle some long journeys and get those miles in! 💪

[@pudmoto]

Yo!!! Thanks alot mate glad you're enjoying the channel!! 🤣🤣 I personally think yeah it's doable, arse can start to get numb after a couple of hours cause its not exactly built for comfort but yeah I'd go for it no problem!!

[@Terbentangluaslazuardi]

in indonesia we have same basic engine "k56" but it has a reliability issue like wrecked rubber balancer damper, cylinder head lack of oil and many more 😅

[@pudmoto]

Oh dear hahahaha

Im learning on a SV 650 180kg on MOD1, I hate the weight too heavy, coming from my 125 140kg.

[@hayyoujimmy8560]

Bigger bikes are alot easier than the 125 more u ride bigger you will know

[@pudmoto]

Oh really? Do you mean at slow speed? I never really found the big bikes as an issue, in fact I struggled more getting back on my 125 after being on the 650

[@steve00alt70]

@@pudmoto see im just too used to the 125cc weight. The 650 isnt as flickable it feels like a tank

[@pudmoto]

@@steve00alt70 Hahah yeah I know what you mean, i'm guessing it's something you'll get used to!
