    I have had honda xr125 bike for one year. it is a good little bike, very reliable, cheap to run and fun for using it on or off the road. the only bad point seems to be the gear when you stop at red light, sometimes it is difficult to get it into neutral or sometimes into the first gear. i have been told this is because the bike is new.

    i have an 03 Honda XR125 and i hear people say that their new models will only do 55 to 60 mph. mine does 75mph i had an engine change to an 06 year and used that front sprocket and it did 55 so i change it to the 03 if u want it to go faster put an 03 sprocket on, i have used my bike on and off road i it keeps me happy apart from power.

    I have a honda xr 125 and for the first time took it further than out of the town i managed to do 111km on £5.00 no joke. It's probably due to the fact it isn't a fast bike and i was only doing 60mph. I would recommend this for someone who wants a 125 instead of 50cc.

    My son has had this bike from new for 3 years and in that time has covered 28k which is a lot of miles on 2 spark plugs and the original oil. It was used it every day regardless of weather conditions and it has never and I really do mean never let him down. He has religiously ignored service schedules failed to replace worn out consumable parts and never cleaned it. It's been stolen twice -so you can assume it has been seriously abused as well - It has, however generally been ridden sympathetica ...

    I really like this bike, keeps up with the traffic well and is good up to 50mph, and 60mph is possible but takes time. The seat is comfortable with 50+mile rides no problem.
    Doesn't always go into 1st first time but this could be because it's new.
    Looked at lots of reviews for 125's and initially wrote this bike off as it only has 11bhp, but this is not a problem and the bike will keep up with most 125's. And as it's a Honda it's built to last.
    Would definitely recommend this bike. ...

    Absolutely loving this bike - it's my first road legal bike and I think it's been great to learn on.
    It's a brilliant ride, not a slow bike - though could do with a wee bit more poke but then again it's a 4stroke 125 so I wasn't expecting a rocket.
    Crazily economical on fuel... I keep thinking I've fairly racked up the miles since I last filled the tank but when I go to the petrol station I struggle to squeeze in a fiver!
    If yer thinking of buying a 125 I'd heartily reccommend the XR. ...

    Great first bike and would buy one again. Looks good and handles well. Reliable and light, excellent around town and country lanes.

    Overall, a great little starter bike. Very cheap to buy and run and will probably go on for ever.

    Coming back to biking after a number of years, I decided to get a Honda XR125 for a number of reasons
    1: Really enjoyed the first bike I ever owned - a Yamaha DT125
    2: They're cheap to buy and maintain ( £15/year road tax!)
    3: My no-claims is completely gone so I need to rebuild it
    Bit of a shock to the system, how gutless a 125 is. Not really a criticism of the XR in particular, just all 33BHP bikes. However, having said that, it's nippy enough off the lights, allowing you to get in front ...

    The acceleration I good up to 40 a bit slow but will hold its own against other little bike grips to the road even when wet but wouldn ' t suggest you take a roundabout at 50 great on fuel I got mine off a mate for only 400 had to put new tires sprocket and chain but that ' s only maintenance the only problem I ' ve kept having is the Speedo cable keeps breaking on me three times ive had to replace it and as its my only transport and I work early and have to leave about 4.30am it don ' t like co ...

    Fantastic bike and will quite happily keep up with most if not all other 4 stroke 125's.

    I was finding my old bike a bit big and costly to run for my daily commute to work (Dominator 650) so I thought I'd buy a little 125 traillie as I'd enjoyed, my first bike so much (Yamaha DT125R).

    Saw a few Honda XR125's about and thought they looked really great and there was a really good deal on new ones, £66 a month, so I thought "why not?".

    It's a really great bike, feels like a bigger bike to ride, nice and comfy, feels quite solid but light enough to squeeze in and out of Lon ...

    I have had this Honda XR125 bike for over three months now and its such fun to ride. The ride height is fantastic for tall riders like me. It looks like a big bike for what it is. When I first passed my CBT I wanted to get a CBR 125 but after sitting on it realised it was too small. Honda then recommended the XR! Mine is the Black and Red colour scheme that looks great! It also comes with a 2 year Honda warranty with 2 years breakdown cover. The insurance isn't expensive either. The fuel economy ...
