    this is my second van van and i am loving it.
    i had dr600, 650, 350, etc, and this small motorcycle
    is brilliant, comftable, economic - 40 km/L - go any place, send,
    forest, very easy, also good for comuting.
    one bbiigg advantge is the seat hight - very very low - help for control in any surfes.
    speed.. well maybe beter to go max 90 - 95 km/h - ttoopp ssppeeeedd...
    the engine prefer to go in 80 km/h which is "crusing" speed
    and the look - handsom - look as the old bikes as he is. old bike with fuel injection - the engine i think is 20+ years old.. it is like my old BSA model 1956 which was also unik.
    another advantage: no body know about this bike althow many people are very interesting on traffic lights. so you are also unik. you dont see many van vans and it makes you different.
    I LOVE THIS MOTORCYCLE!

    I've owned my 07 plate Suzuki RV125 Van Van for just over a month now and purchased purely to commute on. It had only done 1,400 miles and was in showroom condition. Its a fun bike to ride and certainly turns heads. The 70's retro styling is great and those bike chunky wheels are just brilliant. It's not particularly fast, but as mentioned previously, that's not its purpose! I cannot comment on reliability due to my short ownership, but I have no doubts that it will be troublefree as its bui ...

    The Suzuki RV125 is a perfect first time bike. Good riding posture ( I'm 6'2''). Fun to ride and I'll probably keep mine even when I pass my test. Durable and forgiving and very robust. Economical too! I feel mine lacks power, but not always a bad thing for a beginner

    Soon as i seen this Suzuki RV125 I wanted one there was no other bike I wanted to ride except the van van at beginner level. An experienced biker tried to talk me out of buying the van van as he thought it would be awful handling and looked like something a circus dwarf would ride. I have to say I'm glad I followed my heart on this one, the beauty is in the simplicity , I hate the way other 125s can be gimmicy and try to imitate other larger bikes, the van van is straight up, real, non pretent ...

    The suzuki rv125 is a cracking little bike,which draws some odd looks if thats what your into. Would not mind doing a round trip of scotland on it with someone on something similar ( see the scenery instead of a blur ). best small bike ive ever owned. Bought this 4 work & love it to bits. yes it aint as fast as my blackbird but stuck in traffic for my 20 mile each way commute with 90 mpg makes me laugh watching everyone stuck in there tin boxes. low on power but thats not what its meant 4

    I've ridden bikes all my life. I bought my Suzuki RV125 in 2005 2nd hand after it's owner had given up after 500 miles. I was initially sorry I bought it but very soon found that it's comfort, reliability, economy made it my favourite. I have a Harley (Street Bob) and a classic BMW; both which I am selling now and will keep the little RV125. It's great on corners and on/off road. Good all weather bike. Easy on the eye, light weight but has good brakes, takes a pillion well. Never needs attention ...

    I just bought my vanvan Rv 2003 and i have changed the air filter to a high flow K&N replica and it makes a good difference. I had an rs 125 ( aprilia ) and it was a good bike Very fast clocked over 115 buh the down side is it keeped blowing up :S thats why i swoped to an vanvan..If you are looking speed you have picked the wrong bike dude.The only wasu will get to 70 is to geta hole new Stright through exhust and they dont come cheap and they are very loud!.

    This bike is about the best 125 I have ever had the pleasure of thrashing about. I have a 1200 bandit so speed isn ' t an issue. It ' s a four stroke 125 with big silly wheels. If you want to go over 70 get on a train with that attitude it ' s a safe fun starter bike.
    As I said I have a very tuned 1200 bandit and I still find my self wanting to nip out on the rv so I think that says it all.

    I love this bike. Excellent handling for a learner bike. Unique style pulls the looks. 90-100 mpg.
    Looses oomph over 45mph. A fuel light rather than trip meter/reserve tap would help those embarrassing traffic light moments.

    Got this bike as a replacement during repair of my bigger bike. I tried to like a smaller bike, but this one is crazy!

    I personally love this Suzuki to pieces. Although I must be a bit of a speed monster, I take my hat off to this motorbike, it's probably a god send, by restricting my mph! Fuel economy is amazing, over 100 miles on a tank of juice, whether used in town or on long runs - bonus. Would like to have the little darling go a wee bit faster, but let's face it, speed isn't everything.
    The seat is amazingly comfortable, and you can ride for hours without your posterior screaming at you to get off and sta ...

    Love the Suzuki RV125 to bits. My days of big bikes finished a year ago, a year of bus and tram drove me mad. Saw the bike at a local motorcycle dealers, had to have it (excellent choice). Bright yellow head turner. Nice ride ideal for my short trips, reliable, economical and fun.

    I have only done 350 miles on my brand new Suzuki RV125 (2008) model This newer version is fuel injected so no hassle with chokes and fuel taps it has a side stand so no messing around with a centre stand - which made my CBT easier!
    Handles really well nice and low as well compared to my brothers CG125. Have some nice safety features you have to pull the clutch in to start the engine and if the side stands is still down when you put the bike in gear the engine will stop so that you don't make th ...
