I have a Question: is the Honda CBR 125 a good bike for beginners?

Yes, but personally I don’t like it. It’s really easy to manueveur but I thought the whole bike felt flimsy, the tires are the skinniest I’ve ever seen, the engine is really under-powered and the engine-braking is extreme. I also didn’t like the riding position, it was like you were sitting on top of the handlebars. It’s a good bike for beginners but it’s no way near fun to drive. Suzuki DR125SM, Kawasaki KMX125 and Yamaha DT125R are heaps better (and faster). Supermotos/Offroads are the way to go when getting a 125cc - you won’t be disappointed.

if you are able to (depending on your budget and your countries laws) i would recommend a 250, its not too bad to learn on i have taught people to ride 250’s and they did great. but for that extra bit of money you get a much more usable amount of power. if your just going to be riding in the city it wont be a big deal so much though.

If you want 125cc sportsbike 2-stroke is the only way to go.

Or if you want supermoto/enduro 4-stroke might be okay. Although 2-stroke would be better still imo :)

It looks dumb imo. Never liked that bike. Way too small. Makes you look like a poser.

The Honda PCX is great for a beginner, or a Sachs V5 Motozax

I would rather recommend an Aprilia rs125 2-stroke (super important that it’s a 2 stroke, not the newer 4-strokes called rs4 125). These bikes, especially 2006-2012 are beautiful, really powerful and great riding experience. If you are very tall, they might feel a little bit small but so will the CBR 125 with it’s skinny tires and weird looks

No power, terrible top speed. Ninja 250 is perfect for beginners.
