Honda CBR 125R
It may not be the most popular capacity class in
USA, but a 125 has a lot to offer someone who wants something that is
sharp and light, as Guy Allen discovered...
Review
You're seventeen, you're into bikes, you need wheels, you
feel the need - the need for speed. Using the same styling cues as its larger CBR600 and 1000 brothers, the diminutive 125R provides all the looks of a sportsbike but at a much reduced rate of acceleration. You could say it's a sheep in wolf's clothing - and you wouldn't be far wrong. However, it's not all show and no-go, and although the CBR125R is never going to get you surfing on a wave of adrenaline, it does have a reasonable performance for its size, and anyone getting on to two wheels for the first time or moving up from the twist-n-go fraternity, isn't going to be intimidated by either the size or the power delivery of the CBR125R. Although the suspension seems a little on the soft side when you first get onto the seat, it does a very good job of keeping the tyres in contact with the road surface and telling you what they're doing, without pummelling your backside into submission or diving you over the bars when you get nifty with the brakes.
