Aprilia Tuono 125 2018

The Aprilia Tuono 125 remains a very competitive A1 naked bike even with the tough competition from the 2018 model year. Thanks to its stable chassis and high-quality chassis components, it is a real fun machine in twisty terrain - especially if you have installed the 166cc conversion kit. However, its looks and instrumentation are starting to put it behind the competition, which is already coming up with technologies such as TFT and LED. Nevertheless, the Aprilia Tuono 125 is still a good tip for sporty, ambitious 125cc riders.

If you prefer a retro look in the 125cc class, the Honda CB125R is exactly the right bike. Not only does it look very grown-up, the components installed are also of very high quality, as is typical of Honda. Even though the engine only produces 13.3 hp, the CB125R compensates well for the missing 1.7 hp with its ready-to-ride weight of only 126 kg. On the chassis and braking system side, the Honda is clearly ahead of the competition and is reminiscent of much more powerful motorbikes in the naked bike class.
