Suzuki GSX-S125 2023

Suzuki GSX-S125 2023

The Suzuki GSX-S125 feels more grown-up than the identically constructed GSX-R125. It is slightly wider around the tank and does not need a fairing for a maximum speed of about 120 km/h. Technically, it is identical to the GSX-R, but with higher and wider handlebars and thus a more upright position. Technically, it is identical to the GSX-R, but it is more fun with the higher and wider handlebars and the resulting more upright riding position. A wheelie is pretty easy to do, so you can do without a few km/h of top speed.

The 1-litre version of the Neo Sport Cafe Racer shows that it doesn't always have to be the golden mean. In all honesty, it has to be said that the largest of all the representatives also feels the most "grown-up". The electronic equipment of the 1000 in the + version leaves almost nothing to be desired and the handling is extremely rider-friendly for this class. Playfully easy cornering with a well-tuned chassis, snappy brakes and low weight seem to be the recipe for success in terms of smoothness. In terms of performance, the CB1000R+ unfortunately has to make concessions. With 145 hp, the Honda is not a brute rocket, but it is all the more controllable for it. And 145 hp with a full tank of 213 kg is more than enough for maximum riding pleasure on country roads!

Flawless responsiveness of the power unit

Honda-typical extremely rideable 1000

Good electronics package (ABS, traction control, riding modes..)

Smooth and precise gearbox

Excellent functioning quickshifter

Black/white LCD not quite up to date and not ideally readable in direct sunlight

tall pilots may have space problems with their knees at the tank
