Sometimes you ride a motorcycle that makes you realise things. It makes you think twice, and this was exactly the case of the tiny but mighty Honda CB125R. This naked motorcycle might be great for a 16 year old beginner, but it cast a longer lasting impression on myself as well. Enjoy the video!

  • I’m over 50 years old, and I love the look of this, so much so, it’ll be my first motorcycle!

    Great test, the best I ever seen... I am 50yrs old and I ride motorbikes since I was 14... 125 2 stroke, R6, VFR800, and from 2007, R1.... But when I ride on CB125R (of my son)... Well, I feel really good... It's the right way to be a biker, just fun, just leisure, no worries...Great!!!
  • The way he talk about the bike, it about the emotions u gets on a bike not like other reviewers. U deserve a sub bro

    Great video! Really well shot. I bought this bike two years ago when I first started riding. Lots of people told me I would quickly grow out of a 125. I absolutely love it though and am finidng it hard to see justify moving to a bigger bike. I am 6ft2 and 90kgs for reference. I also done a couple of biggish (350 mile over 10 hour days) on the bike and enjoyed all of it. Great bike!

    Boy! You know how to film it and present it! I haven't felt this thrilled about the machine since the trios from Top Speed lost its sharpness due to age. You deserve a bigger platform!

    i own one of these (am 17). its a great bike, i have a lot of fun on it, i have done so modifications to make it look better, i changed the exhaust, the chain, mirrors, plate holder, i wrapped the silver parts black with some nice red stripes and lastly the leavers. mastering the ballance on it is so enjoyable, doing wheelies and sharp turns. am getting carried away. the bike is a beauty.

    This video is really professional dude! Keep up the good work!
  • @mattwestby100
    Your presenting style is great and the video is really well produced. Much better than most of the content you see on YouTube πŸ‘
  • Brother... you are 100% spot on!! πŸ‘Œ I am now 41 years old and just started riding motorcycles in November 2021... i bought an FB Modial HPS 125cc and got feedup with problems - very pretty bike, but a nightmare as a daily driver bike. I got rid of it and bought in August last year a black mate CB125R and dude... i am so in love - so much so that i am about to have the full license and plan to buy a CB650R this year... but i will keep this puppy - it is as you say - its a complete joy and toy in corners and it really makes you feel you are a very fast rider - its so nimble!! And in traffic, its so small that it runs through any gap in stopped traffic - it gives so much confidence that i find myself going way faster than way bigger machines. Let me tell you... passing from the FB and the Honda was like passing from shit to chocolate - thank you for this video - you are so much yonger - but you DO know what is more important about motorcycle experience. Who gives a crap if this bike is slow at top speed? Its cornering experience makes it all worthwhile πŸ₯° Happy riding and greeting from Portugal

    Take my sub for this video. Such sharp and detailed analysis of descriptive narrating, and makes me feel like I’m there too. Very good use of words, makes basic words sound big and loud, meaningful and interesting.
  • @jesan22
    Man I'm not into making comments but you just made me do it. Nice honest review with life lessons. Keep it up bro πŸ’―πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘Š
  • @jupitorious7925
    Pick mine up next week.. i have a royal Enfield 500, but this Honda will be my daily run about. Can't wait
  • Great video : you share not only pictures, sound and opinion, but feelings and a real slice of life. Thank you ! ;D
  • @2e0bgb
    Completely agree, bigger bikes are mainly wasted, I've always chased after more speed, but now I'm 64 I totally get what you say..A good 125 is light and fast eneogh for a bit of enjoyment...Good video...Andre..
  • @jacobroy2504
    amazing review, most underrated youtuber I have seen so far
  • @Cake...
    Yes. Life isn't about what bike you ride. I'm a slow rider for which I'm content with, and a 125cc suits me just fine.
  • @EstebanDVO
    Probably the best looking modern 125cc after the WR125x.
