Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB125R 2019

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

The NMAX 125 is and remains an uncomplicated scooter that works great - and now looks even snazzier. Just sit on it, ride off and feel good. Thanks to its low weight, it remains very nimble in curves, and manoeuvring in the city is child's play. The driving performance is okay, the chassis offers sufficient comfort and the braking system seems surprisingly mature. The cargo compartment under the seat cannot compete with the X-Max 125, but it offers a surprising amount of space compared to the direct competition. In the end, the moderate price is also fully justified.
