What’s the best 125cc on the market?

What makes 125cc good choice ?
In our opinion, they’re the best bikes you can buy. They are cheap to service, easy to work on and most of all practical. Fun is our main concern and most 125cc motorcycles can provide fun thanks to their 2 stroke engine which allows them to be really fast.

Two Stroke you said?
They are the kings of 125cc, mainly because their speed and handling. They can do around 120 mph, but in reality, this is not an accurate figure, for a number of reasons.. Speedos usually read about 10% over, so that takes 12mph of that speed. Then there is rounding up or exaggeration, so you are looking at a maximum speed of about 95 – 105 mph true speed, which is highly possible on some bikes.

If you did some readings over the internet, or you local motorcycle-based magazine, you know that Aprilia RS125 and Cagiva Mito are leaders of 2 stroke.

Okay, what about Four stroke 125cc engines?
They’re popular, hell they are. They have great sounds, low consumation of oil, and a top speed of 65-85 mph. The most popular 4 stroke bikes are Yamaha YZF125 and Honda CBR125..

Which one to buy?
So you have seen them, read about them and now the ultimate question is which one to buy. Tough one to answer. If you’re going for speed and fun (speed = fun after all) my choice would be either Aprilia RS 125 or Cagiva Mito. Both are pretty, fast and can provide you hours of fun, but not comfortable. If you’re up for nice sounds, and you’re not willing to spend half of your money for motorcycle oil plus much more lasting engine, chose either Yamaha YZF125 or Honda CBR125, although I’ll buy Yamaha.
