What is the best 125CC for a learner? ie. fast enough at the lights, reliable & okay for commuting?
Answers:
My brother and I bought 2 new bikes for a summer vacation. His 1200 Bandit leaked gas and ruined the motor before it got 2000 miles. We asked Suzuki to replace the motor so we could go on vacation. They said it’s to expensive and would cost $3000. After 4 months and the vacation gone they got the motor rebuilt at a their cost of $3700. The dealer wanted to replace the motor but Suzuki squashed that. The gas stained cases and burnt exhaust pipes were not replaced. The bike got nicked and scratched all over from being apart for so long. The rep rode it and looked at it, then said it’ good as new. It ran like crap and looked worse. We called Japan for nothing, and even wrote the US CEO all for nothing. We spent $15,000 for the bikes to get Fd. We spent our vacation hassling with Suzuki, and not one person there gave a F! Beware Suzuki’s warranty is not worth the paper it’s printed on! Buy one of their lemons are get Fd like we did!
I have a Piaggio 125, and its excellent. The fuel use is tiny, its quick, keeps up with the traffic and looks cool- what more can you want?
Try a Kawasaki Eliminator.
Honda CB reliable got about 55 to 60 top end great commuter
cant beat jap bikes avoid Italian shite they look good but let you down.
Honda NSR hands down
That depends on your preference and what you plan to ride. If you are just riding on trails and things like that a Kawasaki KLX is a good choice, but if you want to race or do FMX you should get a Kawasaki KX 125. KLX's are smaller(the L stands for low), they are about the size of a 80cc. A KX is bigger and faster and has more travel.
HONDA
For a commuter, the Honda CB125 single 4 stroke takes some beating. It also holds it's resale value well, so when you pass your test you don't lose too much in selling it on.
