Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB125R 2019

The smallest representative of Honda's naked bikes does not need to hide at any time, because at least visually it is hardly inferior to its larger Neo Sports Cafe sisters. Admittedly, the 13.3 hp peak power is not the measure of all things in the 125cc segment, but the Honda can score points for this with a ready-to-ride weight of only 126 kg. The associated playful handling of an A1 motorbike is assured - more beginner-friendly riding is hardly possible! As you would expect from the Japanese manufacturer, the CB125R is amazingly well built for this class of vehicle - bravo!

Good responsiveness...

Top build quality for a 125

Sporty chassis ensures lively handling

All lights in LED

...nevertheless, a little more power would be desirable

seating position somewhat restricted

Fantic XMF 125 Competition 2024

The Fantic XMF 125 Competition combines solid build quality with an attractive price and offers an authentic riding experience that is particularly appealing to purists and traditional motorbike fans who value simple mechanics without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems. The design is appealing and the sound is really impressive for a 125cc ex works!

Good price-performance ratio

Arrow exhaust included as standard

Upright riding position

Accessible for smaller bikers

Striking looks

Puristic riding feel

Low fuel consumption

Rather hard seat

jerky light mask

no ABS
