Well there are now 3 new Honda 125's in production.

My question to you is, taking into consideration both price and performance, which would you have?

CBF 125. Was a nice bike to sit on at the NEC and its the inbetweener of the CG and the CBRR. Also could probably tune it to about 20 horse power and its a good size so I would have it.

I'd have to go for the Honda CBR 125R although the second one does seem pretty good for fuel and that but... it's f**k ugly.

OY!

I've got one of those!

But you're not far off the mark actually (all i can say is that it genuinely does look better in real life than in photographs).

I wouldn't have another though - it's frustratingly slow. And the brakes are made of cheese.

CBF is almost certainly going to be the most practical one out of those three.

Disclaimer: I am talking about the older style 2002 CG here - apparently the newer style one has a disc brake

[Guest]

Oh lol,

Well when I say somethings f**k ugly that's just in my opinion, everyone has there own styles so..

[RJBroughton]

There are a few people on here in possesion of a CG 125 actually, djtdon found out the hard way

If im honest i would still prefer the CBR 125R, just generally because its got 2 extra horsepower and it looks a little sportier.

I should have added the Varadero 125 to that list come to think of it

[Guest]

Don't like the look of that one either

But it's all down to you really, sit on em all have a look and just see which one feels best to you, no else's opinions really matter it just helps.

[Guest philgale]

Nope dont see any reason to do so.

I will get a drivers liscense simply because id like to have one if i ever need it, but i dont think i see myself buying a car.

Hardcore bikers dont get cars

Hardcore bikers die before they hit 40. Whereas if you have a car for the rainy days and the risky stuff you can get the best of both worlds. I'm not a fair weather rider because I will ride in the rain though I don't trust some routes nearby to me.

So I should have been dead 10yr ago, and I ride in all weathers year round. I might even ride in "risky stuff" whatever the f**k that is.

I like the CBR 125R the best. Very sporty looking. Have you had a look at the Aprilia.

[Ratser]

I would stick with what I had which was the Varadero.

Nice big comfy bike, and runs like a dream.

Think my old one is still for sale in the Honda place up here where I got it from and traded back to.
