If you're in the market for a sporty learner bike, look no further. Sports 125s are the stuff of teenage dreams, the kind of machines that have youngsters cashing in savings accounts and resorting to after-school jobs at fast food outlets. Here's 5 of the sharpest looking, best handling or plain fastest 125cc motorcycles available: Cagiva Mito SP525 (2008-current)"The most beautiful novice 125cc bike money can buy – yes, it even outclasses Yamaha’s YZF-R125 and the Aprilia RS125. In 2008 the Cagiva Mito 125 got bodywork to honour John Koscinski’s 500GP efforts onboard the Cagiva V594 circa 1994. In unrestricted form it makes a claimed 30bhp."

Yamaha’s range had a gap for a 125 sport motorcycle, and the YZF-R125 fills that gap by combining the Honda’s easy-going ride with a little bit more poke and grown up looks (especially in Fiat Yamaha colours) – it’s actually slightly bigger than the YZF-R6 that inspired its styling!"

On a murky day you might mistake it for a baby Ducati or MV Agusta motorcycle. The GPR125 also goes very well (de-restricted of course) and handles just like a sports bike, with firm suspension and a substantial 300mm front disc brake. It's a teenage dream on wheels."

It oozes big motorcycle style, handles like a dream and in de-restricted, 30bhp, form the Aprilia RS125 can hit well over a ton. It’s expensive to buy and run thanks to pricey two-stroke motorcycle oil, but, if you can afford it, the Aprilia RS125 is worth every penny." Find an Aprilia RS125 for sale

Read the MCN Aprilia RS125 review Honda CBR125R (2004-current) "The Honda CBR125R is an excellent ‘mid market’ 125. There are cheaper to buy / run bikes, like Honda’s own CG125, but they lack kudos. There’s a flotilla of fancy, mainly European motorcycles like Aprilia’s gorgeous RS125 but they’re silly money. But the Honda CBR125R's a tidy little motorcycle with a reliable four stroke engine, safe handling and brakes."

Specifically, its self-balancing, Riding Assist motorcycle that utilizes Honda’s expertise in robotics to keep the bike upright at a standstill. I admit, that’s a pretty neat gadget, but the forks turn independent of the bars, which has got to feel weird and take some getting used to. That said, this is an extra layer of safety that many will appreciate, and coupled with Honda’s DCT transmission can make for a very good bike for folks with physical challenges.Continue reading for more on Riding Assist. used motorcycle parts sanford floridacontinue reading Two Wheels Are Good, But What About 1.5? motorcycle repair walnut creek caAs I peruse different concept and technology sites in my search for cool motorcycle innovations, things catch my attention and I like to share them with folks of similar interests. motorcycle shops in vernon ct

Sometimes innovative and creative designs leave me wondering “How did I ever live without this?” Then there’s the rest of the time when I have to wonder “What the Hell were they thinking?” For me, the UNI-CUB by Honda and Halbo from BMW each fit into one of the categories and are certainly interesting enough to share.Continue reading for more information about these innovative two-wheeled creations. continue reading 2016 - 2017 Honda Fury / Stateline More and more riders have come to appreciate the look associated with what I would call Classic Americana, and manufacturers around the world have responded in recent years to try to exploit this niche interest. 125cc motorcycle for sale hampshireThis movement has actually been on and gaining momentum for a few years now, and we are starting to see some fairly bold designs from some of the big names. motorcycle and scooter for sale pangasinan

Honda had two such designs available for the 2016 model year. First was the Stateline , the sole surviving member of the 1300 Custom Line having outlived its siblings, the Interstate and Sabre cruisers, though it met the same fate coming into 2017. The Fury joined the Stateline as a sort of brother-from-another-mother with lots of shared DNA, but with a few critical differences, and it represents a very bold design concept indeed.Join me as I critique Honda’s attempt to recapture our glory days.motorcycle repair shops in antioch caContinue reading for my review of the Honda Stateline and Fury. motorcycle tank repairs brisbanecontinue reading 2015 - 2017 Honda CBR300R Since 2011, the CBR250R has served both as Honda ’s small-displacement street-riding and racing trainer, and the model is actually used in amateur, closed-circuit races as a prelude to entering the larger brackets.

Based on that success, Honda designed this, the next generation of little trainer bikes. I am, of course, referring to the new-from-2015 CBR 300R that comes with the then-new, 286 cc engine based on the previous 249 cc version.While I am at a loss to explain it, I confess I have a certain affinity for beginner bikes, and “one-design” race categories that remove hardware advantages and force racers to win based on nothing but their own skills and bravery, which is arguably the purest form of competition. So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at the CBR300R, and see what the Red Riders have to look forward to in Honda’s continuing campaign to draw new riders into the sport and lifestyle we all love so much.Continue reading for my review of the Honda CBR300R. continue reading 2015 - 2017 Honda CB300F New from 2015 and going strong in 2017, the CB 300F from Honda is all about naked sportbike styling at an entry-level price and demeanor. A little bit lighter and with a more upright riding position than its kissing cousin, the CBR300R , the CB300F carries essentially the same engine as the CBR250R but with a longer stroke to add a few more cubes to the mix.

Let’s check it out.Continue reading for my review of the Honda CB300F. continue reading 2015 - 2016 Honda CBR650F Honda’s CBR family is recognized around the world with a storied history, and a range that covers the market from the entry-level on up to the fiery-eyed pegdraggers. Today I’m going to cover the bike Honda built for riders sitting on the fence between the two extremes: the CBR650F. This is an important bracket since many, if not most, riders will wind up staying here for the duration once they graduate up from their entry-level trainer, because it takes a certain sort to want to move up to the stupidfast sector, and not all of us have what it takes (testicular fortitude/deathwish/whatever). Today I’m pounding around with Honda’s mid-range sportbike to see what they bring to this second-tier ride, and how it compares to its closest competition.Continue reading for my review of the Honda CBR650F. continue reading 2015 - 2017 Honda NC700X Adventure bikes are fairly ubiquitous these days, and Honda makes sure to get its share of that market segment with the entry-level-ish NC700X.

Priced well below 10 grand with a rider-friendly engine, the NC700X can serve as a trainer bike for more serious on/off-road work, or as an affordable commuter in a strictly urban environment.Naturally, as new genres develop the first development race is to get something in the market that will establish a toehold, then the onus is on refining the product and looking for an edge in the resulting arms race as it were. The Red Rider engineers and designers cut their teeth on bigger/badder rides, and now are dropping back a bit to try and grab customers who aren’t liable to ride across some African desert or some such. Join me as I take a look at this effort and see what lessons Honda learned on the big bikes, and what features made the jump downhill.Continue reading formy review of the Honda NC700X. continue reading 2013 Honda Silver Wing ABS The maxi-scooter market has been expanding for over a decade now with more and more 500 cc-plus models joining the battle in the never-ending fight for customers.

Honda’s flagship business-class maxi— the aptly-named Silver Wing— continues the fight into the current year with a machine largely unchanged since the original rolled in ’02. The twin-cylinder mill falls just short of the 600 cc mark and puts out nearly 30 ponies, so this ain’t your average little European-style scoot by any means. In fact, the factory considers it less a scooter and more a mid-size tour /commute motorcycle and more or less markets it as such. Whether this is rightly so or not, I wanted to see for myself.Continue reading for my review of the Honda Silver Wing. continue reading 2017 Honda CB1100 EX Honda brings its classic CB 1100 EX back to US shores for the 2017 model year, and with it comes a healthy dose of nostalgia. Retro is king right now, and the “EX” shows that it ain’t all about small- to mid-displacement scramblers and cafe’ racers , there’s still room for classic ’70s UJM replicas. The EX combines the look of that era with modern features and performance courtesy of the 1,140 cc, air-cooled mill, and it’s a combination that has worked ever since this bike was introduced to the U.S. back in ’13.
