Great video with lots of sensible information for anyone looking to either start off in biking or some like me looking for a run around just downsizing for a fun riding experience. Thank you for your video. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! great useful vid :). I love you added listings and issues!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment.
One of the first things you said was two pistons on the front caliper. Thats important to older commuters like me. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks mate, nice1 appreciate Your list 👍
Thank you sir!
Excellent reviews on all the bikes. I totally enjoyed watching this video..Andre.
Thanks for the comment Andre!
Well done ❤🎉
Good reviews there. I’ve had 74 mph out of my YBR on a flat dual carriageway. Mind you my chin was on the petrol tank at the time. If I’d had my choice again I think I would have gone for one of the Hondas.
I believe it! Thanks for the comment.
I have a Sinnis Hoodlum, 23 plate, that tops at 62mph on the flat and I've managed to get 142mpg mixed.
I have a gsxr125 and trust me they are quick for what they are i have that which i got to work on and a 1000cc one to
Nice. You’ve got a mix of cb125f models there though. The newer 2021 version would be out of the price range as they are still holding their value well. The engine is slightly different and expect better mpg from the post 2021 model.
Cheers
Thanks for the comment!
The Mutt looks good. The VanVan is the one for me here. I'd like a 200 as a runaround. The Herald is a looker, too.
Love the VanVan!
I own a 2022 cb125f. I own it amongst other bikes but still I enjoy riding it as it relaxes me and it is engaging. Great as a daily cheap run about. But still has a more grown up feel about it when comparing it to all other Honda 125cc bikes. Much cheaper too. I like how it’s understated in that regard. I put petrol on and I don’t get people staring nor asking questions. It’s comfortable and ridiculous cheap on petrol. I wouldn’t take it near motorways, it’s just not designed for it. 50 miles an hour or 80km/h is where the bike holds it own. Keep up with traffic no problems. My favourite thing is how simply everything is on the bike. Love the centre stand and gear indicator for a bike at this price point. The weight and skinny tires make for a different experience to my other bikes. To me it’s an absolute keeper as it has a very clear purpose. I will admit I purchased it originally as I was intrigued by the hype of this little thing. Thinking I’d sell it straight away if I wasn’t excited to ride it.
Thanks for the insight! A fantastic bike. What colour did you go for?
Oi what colour?
Sorry, I never replied. I got the Red. I believe it’s a little faster than the other colours.
Nice selection :-) Would have thought maybe the Honda XL125 Varadero, though hard to find a good one for £2000, lol
Was on my radar! Unfortunately did struggle to find one under the £2000 mark, but another fantastic choice!
I got a cheap bluroc hero 125 scrambler for 1400€ i must say for a not very well known company its a great bike.
Worth checking the wheels for run out,or chips,as yoots like to crash them up kerbs,also whichever one you buy,always but always secure it with a disc lock, and a decent chain and padlock every time you park it,the Adidas wearing hooded creatures from the local chav estate will pinch it, as they are so light and easy to push😮
Thanks for the comment!
Hi guys.
I’m driving CB125F 2022 , my own average mileage with a full tank is 480 miles and when I’m at the petrol station I have to say that into the tank it has a bit more petrol which is mean with a full tank the average mileage for me is 500 miles.
Thanks.
Thanks for the comment!
whats the best one for me i only like scrambler enduro type not 17 wanting a fake superbike look plus need to be able to do more raged turns down london streets lol
What web do you using?
No AJS? Or do they carry a higher secondary value?
You can already pick up mt and xsr 125s for around 2k, they need to be listed here =)
Cbf125 is every training school’s geared bike to train people on.
the red cb125f in this video was sold by some sketchy dude from kesgrave i passed on in a few months later a kid blew it up and sold it for spares... how strange...
Older guy here looking for a daily commuter on cbt. Do I go for a van van as I love the retro look or a maxi scooter. Any advice welcome
what did you end up getting? :)
A Mutt for me
Where do you usually find them
Wondering what your take on the lexmoto LXR is???
New, probably not a half bad option for someone on a budget. Used would be a risky game to play with former owners being over enthusiastic 17 year olds that may have sent them up the road/left unmaintained in the wet and turned to rust. If you see a second hand one, check it over thoroughly.
Bit more expensive but What’s your opinion on a Kawasaki Ninja 400?
What website do you use to look for second hand bikes.
A mix of AutoTrader, eBay and Facebook marketplace.
my favuirite is the voge r125. max hp for cbt and the engine is built by the same comany that makes bmws engines
The Hondas & Yamahas are fine for someone under 30. At 68, I would look like a child. I am considering a Lexmoto Michigan, Mutt Mongrel, Keeway Superlight or Keeway RK V125C
Who cares. Live a little. 😊
The Sinnis Terrain 125 is good
good morning - love 125s and these are perfect to cruise. Bought some the last three years; 2008 yamaha wr125x (good engine, breaks and suspension - seat not comfortable) 1973 Honda cb125k5 (because its so damned shit beautiful) 1982 Vespa PX125 (to find out what the magic of these rides is..still thinking) 2000 Yamaha trx125 (two stroke - powerful - very comfy on long distance) and for my 60th birthday last december two more bikes above 125cc. A 1983 Honda xl250r (my favourite these days) and my all time dream bike since 44 years; the legendary yamaha sr500 a 1984 model. Exept the SR500 all bikes were below 2000 Euros.
Am nearly same age as you, recently bought the cbr125r in repsol colours. Some things are wasted on young people!
no they look fine
Bro,from what site you can get bikes on UK?
AutoTrader is a reliable marketplace.
Mutt Mongrel is so cheap it doesn't make sense to buy pre-loved. :D
I'm very surprised the Sinnis Terrain 125 is not on the list.
Not under £2000
@@beemerdek my bad, second hand are 2k I suppose
Unfortunate that the R125 is over the limit for cbt riders 😢 looks awesome
You'd struggle to find an r125 that isn't ridden by someone on just a cbt in the UK.. they're 11kw which is the legal limit for a learner bike
under £2000?how does under £1000 sound? i got my ktm RC 125 for exactly £970 ; 2020 model so is hardly used for 3 years! undeniably ,RC 125 is one of the best 125s out there! i guess this is one of the perks of living in india!
Ar you sure it's a real KTM?
What bout the suzuki gsxr125 or the gsxs125
If you can find one for under £2K def worth a go!
@BikeMatters they are going for around 3200 at the moment not seen and under 2k
I say bring back the two stokes
O.K.how about a video on say 250cc bikes for around three grand or less
We'll have a think!
what about the KeeWay Superlight 125?
Could of made the list! Often found under 2k.
these videos would be a lot better if they didnt have a cut and paste wikipedia/ i googled a bike and looked at a price on ebay feel. would be a lot better if you had someone who rode them and pointed out good features and the bad instead of just reading from spec sheets. I know this is not really a place people go for an in depth bike review but still the info just seems so vague and generic its hardly of any use to most people trying to make an informed choice about a bike. just appears to be recycled content for contents sake
How about new 125cc for under £3K?
One for us to think about!
Issue with 125cc bikes for young people is the insurance. Honestly ridiculous
Retro bikes vid ???? hate these sporty things with so much plastic....
The Honda is the savvy choice, but then again the CB125F is the dullest, commuteriest, most riding schooleriest bike out there. And under 2k is probably going to have a few blemishes. So you could do your 2k on an almost new Chinese time bomb and hope for the best 😂 The YBR might solve this dilemma to an extent, and is widely available at under 2k.
Thanks for the comment!
can't agree on dull per-se as it's built for a market, and at a price. I'm over 60 and love my 2021 model coz it's so cheap to run, uber reliable, fab mpg & quiet. I'm no speedster and spend most time riding time in the country on single track roads and lanes where you cant (and dont want to) nail it, or easy commuting in town, and the residual value even for ones that have had unschedule dismounts makes selling easy. a bigger bike would give me personally nothing more than i have already, except more cost and hassle, so it's horses for courses. GL
@@Bob-ts2tu yeah, I was just jesting really. If cheap reliable transport is the aim of the game, Honda really cornered the market with their small capacity bikes. I used to have an old cg125 and it was great fun.
@@robsmalley6616 ok tx for the reply. It's funny how many posts i've read on guy's who've moved up from 125's who always look back with fondness, and often wish they had'nt sold them, or even some move back to one years later - maybe there's an element of nostalgia, but you dont often hear people saying what hateful things they are lol, and as you say honda are the kings of small displacement bikes. GL
Insurance is almost £2k itself 😢 Guess I'm sticking to the car.
Seriously??? Mine was £100 with just a cbt. At 55 that might help the premium also.
@@bottletree33 what??! I'm almost 40 so not exactly a spring chicken myself. I figure if I state a security system in the bike, it brings the premium down to £600 but that's more than my car insurance at £400 with 10 years NCB. Prob cos I live in a high crime area 🙃
@@annawong1305 Hastings direct insurance. I’ve been with them years.
VARADERO
Would love to see a 2024 Varadero
No groms or monkeys?😢
Groms and monkeys are for the hardarse riders
All these bikes are cumplete rubbish compared to the all time king of 125s, the KMX. U just knock out the washer out of the carb inlet tract and you've got 24 horse power on tap. And believe me, 24 from a two stroke is worth 30 from a 4 stroke!
Funny thing is, you can pick up a decent condition 2 stroke 125 for under 2000 and they're way better than any of the bikes on this list 😂
Oh man that vanvan is ugly as hell.
