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!
Yamaha YZF-R125 2020

The Yamaha YZF-R125 in the 2019 version makes journalists' lives difficult. You search and search for a fault, but can't find one - simply frustrating! Because the 15 hp single-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVA) performs excellently and is undoubtedly one of the best power units in the 125cc class. The handling is convincing in everyday life as well as on the racetrack, even if the chassis shows its sporty side on bumps. But we are on a super sports bike, so that is not a serious point of criticism. Maybe I need to ride the R125 for a few weeks to find its Achilles heel after all....
