Brilliant!! Great review of a 'non-expensive' 125. Lots of people are rushing around, looking for bikes with 150 -200bhp, top speeds of silly figures!! Yet; so much fun can be had on a smaller capacity bike. Get yourself a smaller bike, and go have some fun..........these 3 have!! Great video, as always Bruce, keep it up. Grumps.

Cheers Grumps! Really has opened my eyes to how much fun is to be had with these wee bikes - we honestly had an absolute scream! I still love my big bikes don’t get me wrong, but there’s definitely room for a wee one in the garage when finances allow 👍👏

Agreed, I'm selling my hayabusa because it's simply too easy to go prison speeds on, and is only fun when doing the aforementioned speeds. My little vanvan 125 was far more fun and you were never even going over the limit. There's just too much traffic and too many cameras on the roads in the UK to properly use big sports bikes

Yup, on Tuesday I find out if I'm getting a little Suzuki address 125 4 speed semi auto. Can't wait, back roads you can't take a bandit 1250 up. Bandit was good fun but I'll get back the sense of adventure I had as a kid on my first Suzuki 70cc 2 stroke step through. lots of grinning to come.

I have had 2 versions of this bike, Pulse Adrenaline non-efi and a Sinnis Apache SM efi, fun to drive and looks great but the electrical system is so poorly designed for high moisture environments, mine cuts out after around an hour of driving in the rain. Had lots of problems with mine and it's only 1.5 years old, the engine is reliable but almost everything else is cheaply constructed. Also worth noting that the frame on all of these bikes are poorly coated and rust very quickly, especially on the welds. After doing 14,000 miles on mine I would not recommend this bike for use in the UK, unless it's just for leisure riding and you clean and maintain it often.
