I have a fireblade and i found this strangely entertaining
Haha i used have an 06 zx10r but way back when i only had a cbt i used to think these bikes were great lol how wrong was i
Me too
😂
I've got a new aprilia rs4 and I'm absolutely in love with it had a yam before and hated every minute of it. But each to their own
funny how they said the rieju is pretty poor but now it's one of the best 125cc in their recent magazine
Daniel Ackerley I like the look of it
I own 2019 Aprilia rs4 125cc for 2yrs now and I’m so happy about this little beauty it’s cheap to run, looks nice handles nice and still can do 70 mph easily !!!!
*Thanks guys, can't seem to get a bloody simple straight answer off the internet anymore,* *very helpful. Nice1.*
Back in the 90 in italy we had 125 2stroke with about 35hp it was Aprilia Rs , Cagiva Mito, Gilera SP1 ...we where only sixteen and it was great...
16 on a 125 cc 🤔really???
it's like watching a race in slow motion😂😂
I had the yamaha for a year and I loved it. It took me to college and work through all weather and I passed my mod 1 and 2 on it. Then in the summer I went on a capping trip in the south west with my mate. So really the bike does it all.
BRING BACK 2 STROKES!
LOVE THE SMELL, LOVE THE SOUND, LOVE THE ENGINE!
The 2 stroke rs4 50 kills the rs4 125 4 stroke easy.
@@zoubeirxd7770 sadly true haha
@@zoubeirxd7770 derestricted yes. But the 125 derestricted will outrun a piddly 50cc lol
@@JDMz i believe a fully build 50cc as for example malossi team racing kit 80 kills the 125cc 4 stroke unrestricted on a 400-600m only then on 6th gear the 125 win
I got myself And rs4125 about two years Ago and the thing just falls to pieces. thats when it doesnt blow over in the wind because of the useless stand.
I had one For 3 weeks.. Garbage.. Sold it done my test 2 months ago.. Now on a ninja.. Does in 1st what that done top end
The best thing about the old 2-strokes is you could derestrict it while still on your CBT and I knew nobody that got caught, but on these things you're stuck with that weedy power output.
Finally, I was waiting for a 125 video for a logn time now!
YES, finally! Been waiting for this for ages, thanks!
solid video and review... minus the wind noise...
much better than the last effort i.e. suzuki V-strom vs rivals.
Wanted an rs4, got an RX 125 ... it's reliable, easy to mantain and delivers a good amount of power. I regret nothing.
Got the Honda cbr 125r and I can get up to 85 stock
Bunch of bollocks mate lol. You sound like the typical 125 chav yeah yeah my bike goes 85 - 90
Mr Panter search it up on YT all the proof is there
Mr Panter th-cam.com/video/KRkrOJOIZUU/w-d-xo.html
@@Kyrpptic your correct my mistake lol. One big issue that 85mph takes forever to get to and I'm pretty sure that it's not good for your engine lol. Sounds terrible sitting at 10.500 rpm
Mr Panter agreed in now have a 636 but my 125 was fun
Hold on aint the Rieju got the exact same engine as the yzf?
yea thats true but fixing it is part of the fun, you get to know your bike and you stay with it through it's bad times and its great times
To be honest that's one of the best things about two strokes. Is their insane powerband. It's like saying you'd rather have a non turbo car over a turbo'd one.
this was awesome thanks, just make them longer please? approx. 11-18 minutes?
If you close your eyes it sounds like a lawnmower race! lol
Reminds me of the days when i rode a moped and there was eight of us. Looked like you all had a laugh...
Just brought a 2013 Cbr125r best bike by far in my opinion
I'm not into all these 4 stroke 125 'Sport' bikes, much rather just get myself a 05-08 4 stroke supermoto, probably slightly slower but I'd save loads of money and I'll be doing my test soon after! Win - Win.
yea i agree...i have a hard time understanding how the new restrictions are so harsh..
When on small displacements the extra bang goes a long way!
It's not just the top end that two strokes benefit from. Setup correctly they also have lots more power in the bottom end.
But surely you'd have to account for the weight and skill of each rider
Love the vids guys, but the wind noise in the recording is simply unacceptable!!!
Man this motorcycles look so cool. i wish they would sell them in the US i'm stuck between the ninja and the cbr, they're pretty cool but i like the aprilia rs4 125 more than any of the 250s.
i have an rs4 125 and its the best looking of the bunch, who cares if the other bikes are a tiny bit faster, the rs4 will get you more ladies and compliments then the rest, which in my opinion is more important.
Wow, brand new? My 2004 CBR 125 decided to give up on life and die sadly, the garage never told me what broke by they did say the engine had seized. Picked up a 2010 YZF-R125 for £2900 with 800 miles on it.
The RS4 looks like a RSV4 and it's a 125cc. I'll probably ride it like a scooter so performance won't matter. You have my vote there.
I'd like to hear you say that when all that's left of me is the two stroke fumes after I've left you at the lights.
Theres a major point missed out... the aprilia rs125 can be set up with a power blade giving it around 29bph giving it a top speed of around 105-110mph. I owned a 2003 model aprilia with a 34mm carb etc and to be honest it pulled to about 119mph and 0-60mph took around 6.8 seconds when running sweet. Aprilia wins hands down
They all blew up on the way to the test :P
Is there an up to date version of this video?
Yamaha's built quality is really impressive, I remmember when I had Suzuki GSXR 600 SRAD for a year and I thought it was real good, then I got a year older 99 R6 and the difference in build quality was immense, yamaha is impresive.
If I had four of each limbs then I would ride all the four bike at once. I love these toys.
It is what it is. The Honda is the best to learn on so if u get a 125 then u have Prob passed your cbt. U need to know what u r doing before getting a fast bike. The Honda does have good build quality. Mine is a 2008 that sits outside. No rust. Hope this helps?
2900£ not bad ,in Finland yzf-r125 with +4000km cost about 2600€ :D
I just bought a yzf r125 last week. thats the yamaha if you didnt know. and i loooove it... its a 2009 and its just fantastic. i bought mine for about 1800 pounds, or well actually 20 000 swedish crowns because i live in sweden.... lol
it kinda is, just only in some countries i realized that germany for example got a different system then denmark where i live, but all countries have a 125 cc max class, which makes my comment valid for the question.
Would have been good to see a CBF 125 or YBR 125 in there as well to see the difference between the budget commuters and these bikes that are nearly double their price
A 4stroke is still a motorcycle. If you don't have full license you will have to wait 2 years, and get the license for higher cc. Motorbike price? They aren't that expensive if used before bought. Buy the license? You can pay it on 12-24 times in many Driving schools, and a 4Stroke motorbike consumes way less than a 2 stroke, and it doesn't breaks your pistons every 5000 miles.
In Indonesia, you can ride a Hayabusa at 17, if you can afford one. However, nobody here can. Lol
I would imagine it's not so much about performance, as it is about fun on those little things.
Aprilia isn't slow when it's derestricted, Gotta be the best 125.
Becouse the RS series are the most popular 125 motorbikes among beginners.So why is that ? RS are quite simmilar to 4 strokes in how they behave in terms of speed and gas consuimption when downpowered.But as you get used to the downpowered bike you can unlock its true potential only by changing the exhaust system jumping form 15hp to 30 hp.And thats what makes an RS so special,it literally grows with the rider.(IF you are allowed to upgrade it in your country)
I got rieju and I have tried aprilia and yamaha but I think rieju is the best one. It's fastest no doubt about that. That guy said that it's handling is shocking but that's not true, it's solid and good enough if you're not driving on track and why the fuck would you? It's cheapest and it's not mainstream. I mean everyone always compliments it how good looking it is and everything. So I think you should buy rieju, it really got the best quality-price ratio :)
when it comes to looks, sporty sex appeal, Yamaha is king. the R1, R6, even that little R125 are just gorgeous. I would bet most buyers in this class would pick the Yamaha.
I'd suggest looking into a 2009 Aprillia rs125. 2 stroke. My one hits just over 100mph on a straight. Great little bike
I have a rieju rs3 50 and the build quality and handling are great. My only gripe is the fuel tank isn't metal but that's not much of an issue really
Amplified Gamer what idiot moans about not having a metal petrol tank??? That's a good thing and if you think the rejues (i can't spell) are nice then wait till you can get on an aprilia.
@@willsherriff3711 aprilia don’t have the best of quality in my experience
Well yeah, but there are people that are more worried about it's consume and the money that you spend repairing, than the power at all.
I must admit 4 strokes are slow. But with 300 euros you can upgrade to 184cc and you can't compare to the r125 original power. It gets a good boost
I'm talking about the yamaha yzf r125 btw, aftermarket stuff come from Itally so it's expensive. Idk about the others
Sigh.. the Honda NSR125, Cagiva Mito 125, Yamaha TZR125, Suzuki RG125 and the Aprillia RS125 are by far more fun. My little Honda NSR 80 did a true 125 km/h so if you want the speed and a little maintenance stick to two-strokes.
at last the rs4. first im a bit sad the dont produce the 2 stroke anymore because it was the best 125cc bike for bikers wo wanna have fun) but ok. the rs4 has the best forks and spring leg (?) and the best breaks. it looks pretty cool and the engine is ok. it also offers most to the customer, a speedshifter bigger tieres (what is important for 16 years old guys^^) and it only has 1 seat (maybe a special edition) but u only need one, its a bike for 1person who knows what he/she wants and can do
how can you compare the performance of a 2 stroke engine to a 4 stroke engine? LoL
If you new to riding a bike. The Honda is da best way to go. If you have the money? Go with the Yamaha. Hope it helps.
West is right, they're pretty much the same now since they are both 4 stroke, and cost around the same.
Sounds like a couple of hair dryers just drove passed at 1:50
Accelaration is way more steady too
Needed a Cagiva Mito for some 2stroke goodness.
old 125cc 2 stroke sports do almost 200kmh. But these 125cc 4 strokes are like mopeds actually they are slower than 2 stroke mopeds.
I don't talk about crossers..I'm talking about those 50cc derbi gpr's,aprilia rs50 and stuff
shows what you know..
On the track, a 120kph 4-stroke and a 150kph 2-stroke is a BIG difference.
On a daily basis, however, on public roads, you can't go over 110 ANYWHERE, so it's ridiculous to get a 2-stroke for daily use.
A 4-stroke consumes less, less services needed, the speed is enough for public roads, and sounds like every other 300/650 bike.
A 2-stroke, consumes 2 litres more, more services needed, you need to ILLEGALLY open your bike to reach over 120kph AND the bike sounds like an electric toothbrush.
Thats what i like to hear yamaha as the winner
@1990SimS true, but they only get fast enough to overtake me when they've been modded!
I own a derbi GPR 125 and four stroke 125 have tried to pull away from me but not been able to and iv shot away from bikes such as Yamaha R125 and aprilia RS4 125. So love me derbi 😊
2 stroke all day in 125 cc
Not disagreeing Mike Pearce.
I had a derestricted Honda NSR 125 as my first bike and what a bike it was and own a yamaha YZ125 MX bike so yehh 2 stroke 125s have more power but not the looks of the four strokes these days 😉.
Have a look at the aprillia 125 with a ktm 500 engine init pwahhhh its fit i want it haha
Could probably get a bigger and faster bike for the price of it tho do love the Smell of a good two stroke like
+Mike Pearce its the rs4 bud the 4t version sucks they know the 2 stroke version is the best
the new rules that are comming on january 19th, states that a person between 18-20 may only drive a 125 cc....atleast in Europe
I Have A Rieju Rs2 50, And Max Speed On Mine is 63mph Flat And Other Then That I Think It's The Best 50cc About Its A Sick Bike, Great Bike For A 16 Year Old Bigginer My First Ever Time On A Bike Was This I've Been Riddin 5 Months And Im Doing Great On It. Rieju All The Way;))
MCN showing how to ride responsibly :D
From my perspective NO,its just not the RS that it used to be (subjective opinion).
If you really want an sport 4 stroke bike,go with the R125.But if you want the real 125 experience get an rs125 2003-2010,or cagiva mito 525/7speed.
Doing my A1 next year and trading in my CBF for a YZF hopefully :D
Please, please just let the camera sit in one place with everything in the shot, it is so annoying the way its constantly being moved about at the start.
yea i know, Denmark is 18-20 and in germany you can already drive at 16
These bikes seem to be a little bit small, and the rider seems quite large on them.
Too bad they are never available in the U.S due to emission standards
Get the RS 125
NOT the RS4 125
With good maintanance it will never fail you.
Even if the motor halts, you can rebuild it with no more than 150euros and you got yourself a brand new motor.
Unless you dont like 2-strokes.
i live down in swansea, i have a cbr125 2012 , lets just say it gets me from a to b and the rest :)
My old AR125 I had in the nineties, although looking dated compared to this lot would piss all over them all. MCN done a test with a standard AR125 and it left the YZFR125 for dead. It's a shame two-strokes are dead, only because of stupid emission laws.
30Kmh isn't a big deal on a 600cc. But I am purely talking about 125's. And for 125's the engine just has to be two stroke. 30Kmh is a lot at that sort of class. If my bike does 120 Kmh and yours only does 90Kmh then that's a 33% speed increase over your bike. Now if we're talking 200kmh and another at 230kmh Then that's only a 15% speed increase. Just under half that at what I said at the start.
So yeah. I care.
Depends where you live but just check in a local dealership, generally I know the hondas around 3400, the yammy is closer to 4.5k,
well i also wanna offe my opinion about the bikes (no rieju because i have never rode one).
the new cbr looks better than the old, the engine is undestroyable. the spring leg (?) is a little to soft for me so cbr is a good bike for allday riders.
the yzf looks good but you should sit on it before buy it, i feel unconfrtable on it. the front forks are a little to soft here and in my opinion it is too expensive for what it offers.
You should get one of the older inline 4 CBR250RRs they will blow away all the new 125/250s
it's called the RS4 because it is a replica to the Mille which is an RSV4 as far as i know
I'm getting my license this summer, but I can't decide between the Yamaha and the Honda :/
aprilia looll
I would take Yamaha allways over the Honda when we're talking 125s
***** Too late mate, riding my YZF R-125 daily now and I'm loving it ;D
my CBR125R 15ym has been 83mp/h and i'm sure it has a little more to give too
+MotoVlogging With Jimmy Yea thats about right. My missis gets 84mph but she is tiny.
monkeyzx9 wait until i get my Scorpion Exhaust on the bike then we shall see ;)
MotoVlogging With Jimmy Enjoy
+MotoVlogging With Jimmy My 2013 repsol with scorpion stainless does 90 mp/h on the flat. In downhills I've had it at 92.5 mp/h :P
Bubblecaash nice! i had mine touching 80mph today on a dual carriage wayand it felt like she still had more to give, however i ran out of road -.-'
A suit? Like a full body leather suit? Jeez, talk about expensive. I'm 17 and have a ninja 250, and you aren't even required to wear a helmet where I live in the US, it's a stupid idea not to, but still. Other countries seem to have crazy safety laws.
bring back old rs 125 and nsr 125 UK spec or even a cagiva mito 125 they were well worth the 3.5grand you would have paid for them
Is there a reason why they didnt even mention anything about 4stroke?
I'm looking at 2 strokes, 4 strokes 125cc are to slow i prefer 2 stroke racing bike. Just cant decide which one to choose :S. I know the RS 125 FP can do over 90mph.
if your looking for a commuter go with 4 stroke, fuel economy is their strong point and most 4t's will go around 80mph..but if your looking for a bike for just a bit of fun now and then when you get it out the garage go for an rs 125, dt 125 or if you can afford it ktm 125 exc
ooharh Dams
What speed can the DT go to ?. I know the RS can put out 110 mph FP. if the DT can reach 80 mph and its got enough pull to overtake corsa retards will be happy to get one!. Looking at the KTM also.
well a dt would cost half as much to fix than the rs or ktm and a tuned dt can go pretty fast, you gotta remember 2t's arent made for top speed, more so acceleration
ooharh Dams
I saw an RS go over 100mph FP so i dont get why 2 strokes are all about acceleration cant you just change the sprockets ?. Yeah i have been considering a DT but the problem is it will need a lot of tuning and i would need the DT to go around 90mph ;p if possible.
I saw the KTM and its just overpriced garbage. Saw them on the roads they are no better to a dam DT in terms of speed and acceleration unless im mistaken.
So narrowed it down to 2 bikes ATM.
DT 125
Aprilia RS 125 FP
Also im on an L plate but not bothered in the UK its just something i have to live with until i decide passing my test is worth it.
Cheers.
AccentGaming It's all about bhp, the cycle of the engine, 2 stroke or 4 stroke is irrelevant so far as performance is concerned. All the 4 strokes here produce circa 15 bhp, which is good for, & has been speed trapped by gps at between a true 77 & 78 mph for all of them, regardless of what the speedos claim.
Some 125 sport 2 strokes can produce 26 bhp, which may be good for a true 90 in perfect flat road still air conditions & lying flat on the tank deep into the red, - for a few seconds.
yeah but though it's just that 2strokes breaks all the time... you have to fix them all the time.
with a 4stroke you have to check the oil, refill with gas, and go!
Someone correct me if i am wrong, but as far as i know the Rs 125 is the two-stroke, wich would clearly beat all of the bikes in the video, but that Aprilia was the RS4 125 wich stadns as a four-stroke.
In fairness, all small cc 4 strokes are pretty slow.
If it's bellow 250cc, 2 stroke is the way to go.
I have got the cbr and it's fantastic
The Rieju is the best!
I guess that would be "safer" But still, As long as you're not starting on a liter bike, or even a 750, you'd most likely be fine if you're really careful on like, a supersport.
if you've just passed your cbt don't go anywhere near a brand new 125, only buy new bikes when you've passed your test and have plenty of experience. Unless you're rich, then ignore all of that.
Which one of these would be best for Dual Carriage way riding?
Superb vid. 👍
