Thanks for the review, looking at maybe buying this for my first bike here in Ireland, going for the full A license to give me better choice down the road, have to take the test on a 598 cc 50 Kw minimum bike but don't want a 650 to start with, I might end up keeping the CB125R because it will be fast enough for me, I'm not into power and speed, just want to feel the road a different way and be able to just chill out on a nice day. I suppose half the battle is being used to the rules of the road having around 22 years driving behind me. Doing my IBT which is the same as your CBT next Tuesday and Wednesday, once I pass this I get to insure my own bike.
Hi thanks for watching and commenting. I am the same, I like having enough speed to not feel slugish on the bike but no need for super big engine 😄 I did enjoy the step up to 300cc from 125cc especially for longer rides but I don't feel like I'm missing out compared to the 600cc +, maybe that will change over time. Good luck with your IBT - the driving experience will help a lot. Happy riding!🏍
A great review and just caught it now as having a break from steam cleaning (trying to warm up)😉👍A good solid review of ownership. I think Honda must, in general, be the most reliable motorcycle manufacturer in the world so not surprised at the lack of issues with the bike. It is a great looking machine and should certainly hold it's value well. Loved seeing all the roads you've ridden that were in here, recognized most. That driver appeared to do like I do to motorbikes when they are filtering, put a hand out usually a thumbs up just to show the rider that I'm aware of them. At 1.28 in case you missed it. Hopefully he wasn't just chucking some rubbish out. I see you are at 268 at the moment, I am about 77k of views off 2 million. Good luck. 😉👍😁 Now back out in the cold for me.
you're nearly at 2mil views! Great stuff! I'm hoping to hit 1k subs this year 🤞 Glad you liked the clips, I was going to go out and film but it's too cold and icy ❄Looking forward to giving the rallies a go this year if I'm able too. Can't wait for some warmer weather to get back out 🏍
@@artistaradventures Hoping to get to 2 million about October November but who knows. The Rallies each have their own facebook page to see latest but now all run by the same team of folks. I think the night riding is being brought back for 2024. Think I've only ever done 3 of them but it's a great feeling when you've done it, riding for 20 hours or more is not for everyone. Ride safe.
I dont know why but 1) it should be more retro modern especially the tail 2) honda should offer a much more modern tft panel and NOT lcd small one. I think that the 2024 model will have an upgraded version for TFT.
yep reality is it can get to higher speeds, it struggles though - at least mine did! I actually got a sore wrist on long journeys from having to pull the throttle so hard to maintain that speed 😂
Hey Zurl! I'd like to do this - if i'm ever in the position where I'm changing the oil I'll be sure to make a video, at the moment it's all covered in the service. Thanks for watching! 🏍
no worries bud glad you found it useful. Yes it does have abs etc. Very easy to handle - great for newer riders. You'd probably have more fun with an MT-07 as that bike will have loads more power - unless you're looking at MT-125 maybe? or comparing with a bigger Honda CBR. Happy riding 🏍
Brilliant review just bought the 125f hope it's as good as yours, keep it shiny side up.
Cheers Paul - glad you found it useful! Great choice of bike, hope you enjoy, happy + safe riding 🏍️
Just ordered this bike. Nice review man😊
thanks man, and great choice! happy riding 🏍
Thanks for the vid. This one was on my list but eventually went for the Zontes G1.
Thanks for watching. Zontes G1 has a nice look to it as well 🏍
Looking at the Z1 now, what do you think?
You'll regret buying a zontes. Just wait until you need parts for it.
@@JDMz Plenty on Aliexpress ;) - just got a superb windshield for £30. 2 weeks delivery time.
Saying “I was going to get a Honda, but went for a Zontes” is like saying “I was going g to get a Carbon Fibre Hood, but just got a wrap instead”
Great production and edit dude. Really enjoyed it. Subbed.
Thanks for watching Somatyk - glad you enjoyed and welcome to the channel! Happy riding 🏍

Nice review. That bike's done you well.
Will be exciting to see what you get next. Something for the roads less travelled 😉
glad you enjoyed! Can't wait to get a new bike but will miss this one 🏍 Looking forward to getting back out on the road this year.

Bro how can i get one , its not available in my country btw i love watching your content as usual ❤
Thanks for the kind comment, I hope they become available sometime soon! Happy riding 🏍️
What height are you? My m8 is looking to get the same bike he's 5'7 but wants to be able to flat foot it.
I'm around 5'10 and can easily flat foot, think your mate should be ok. Def feels low to the ground.
comparison to mt125 or z125?
I dont know why but 1) it should be more retro modern especially the tail 2) honda should offer a much more modern tft panel and NOT lcd small one. I think that the 2024 model will have an upgraded version for TFT.
I agree with you there 🏍️ a more modern panel would be nice
@@artistaradventures and not small. A TFT 7 inch fits better
3:36. you should never try to filter round a blind bend and you nearly found out the hard way haha. be careful my guy
haha v true! I was having a a peek and quickly realised I needed to wait 😅
nice one
thanks man, glad you enjoyed!
Did you say the top speed is only 60mph are you joking my 125 scooter does 75mph
He said 68mph on paper but he’s got it to go faster than this. I misheard the first time too :)
@@APerson_ i got my ktm duke 125 to 74
yep reality is it can get to higher speeds, it struggles though - at least mine did! I actually got a sore wrist on long journeys from having to pull the throttle so hard to maintain that speed 😂
can you do a video on how to do oil change
Hey Zurl! I'd like to do this - if i'm ever in the position where I'm changing the oil I'll be sure to make a video, at the moment it's all covered in the service. Thanks for watching! 🏍
@@artistaradventures ok thanks alot;)
dose this have abs? am not sure what to get this or mt o7, and i hear this has traction control? and ty for the video my online friend
no worries bud glad you found it useful. Yes it does have abs etc. Very easy to handle - great for newer riders. You'd probably have more fun with an MT-07 as that bike will have loads more power - unless you're looking at MT-125 maybe? or comparing with a bigger Honda CBR. Happy riding 🏍
@@artistaradventures yes is the mt 07 125 i was thinking about getting mate
