I Love my bike its the best thing i've ever bought and i had a 2.2 honda accord, its nippy in traffic great on corners grippy tyres and handles like a big bike it can keep up with traffic even though its only a 125cc can do 80Mph i'm told, always starts first time and looks the business in its full racing livery the best bike a learner can buy by far.

Fantastic finish, very smooth ride, no problems with it at all. accelerates good 0-50 then you struggle 50-70 but its stupidly cheap to run, ive had my bike 4 months now and spent about 50 quid on fuel and use it around 25 miles every day, rediculous really. breaks are amazing for something so small and the cornering is a bit ropey in the wet but on a nice hot day your not worried at all. would recommend any day.

The bike is amazing, very flickable and pretty good on acceleration up to a certain point. I think with all 125's there is a limit to the fun you can have, then the power runs out. Around town it is great if a little jerky on the first and second gear, but is to be expected on a single cylinder engine. I would recommend the bike to anyone starting out with riding.

The Honda is a beautiful bike, looks small in pictures but it is totally different in person. The brakes really good so if you need to stop in an emergency you'll stop within seconds. The comfort on the bike is good and the seat is abit hard at first but after a few weeks of riding you don't realise it as it softens to your riding position. The fuel economy on this bike is pretty good as well but it all depends on your riding. Low revs will save a lot of fuel and a full tank will last quite a lot of miles on normal riding.

lovely bike, looks full sized is easy to ride and handles well. A little down on power but it does hold its top speed better than most of the others. 70mph. I have had 78mph out of it but that was on the dead flat with the wind behind me. its also £1000 less than the others and cheaper to insure. good all round starter bike.

got the bike for my 17 year old son its a 2012 model its a good bike but the dash has cracked in the sun.... and 6 months out of warranty the engine destroyed itself by shattering piston and con rod plowing a huge furrow in the engine casings.

Absolutely delighted with my Honda125 CBR! It really is a pleasure to ride around in city traffic, the way I can go through nightmarish traffic around the Toll Bar Gate islands at peak times. Because of roadworks at Toll Gate island there are long queues stretching back along London Rd all the way to Humber Rd every weekday at the morning & evening rush time. Motorists can be stuck along there for quite a while. The Honda just slices through like a knife thro' butter. I really am surprised why more people do not take up biking. What with the low tax, super fuel economy time saving, it really is the thinking person'sideal mode of transportf for work commuting.
