I'm in my mid 60's and have been riding since 72. I've had open class sport bikes, Harleys, classic British bikes, Ducatis, etc., and I think this slow little bike is probably extremely fun.
5:52 XD nice teleportation😀
I have one and love it sooo much
hey man, iam thinking about buying one, and I dont know if im too big for it. Im around 178cm and wanted to ask how tall you are? thanks
You won’t be to tall at 5ft 10 👍
@@GillyBikes thank you :)
I just bought the gsx s version of this brand new due to needing a light bike as I'm finding bigger ones too heavy at the moment due to health condition. Looking at top speed videos of these record indicated speeds of 83mph at the rev limiter, probably a true 78-80😃. Been out on it everyday this week and enjoying it apart from the bloody headwinds we've been getting this week making it feel like a 50cc at times especially trying not to use all the revs with it been new! Looking online Suzuki GB did used to supply the centre stand's for both model's, but for some reason stopped 😡,but if you want one there available in Japan 🙂
Wow that’s a very impressive top speed for a 125. No surprised though.
These are made in Indonesia as 150cc with a longer stroke for the Asian market.
Yes. In the uk 125’s are learner bikes. 150’s are to big for them. So they won’t sell them here. No market for them.
Probably the best 125 sports bike I’ve ever been on.
Absolutely. Really well built machine
Is the yamaha yzf r125 better?
I’ve not had a go on one so I can’t say. I would guess though that The yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki etc will all be very well made. I comes down to personal preference. Which one do you prefer?
i don't like the idea of it not having a traditional key, but the bike is gorgeous.
Keyless is great once you have got used to it. Just keep your keys / fob in the pocket and all set.
I like how you call rust "wear". Inconsequential amounts of it so it doesn't matter in the end but I like the way your termed it😂
Thanks 😂
Getting mine delivered next week, a 2023 model in black and red.
Very nice choice. 👍. Great bikes.
Congratulations on your acquisition!🍺 I'm not jealous at all...honestly, uh...I'm not.
Anyway, has it lived up to your expectations so far?
@@Fractal379 Yes totally!! I have kept everything stock and managed a top speed of 76mph at best. It's exhilarating enough and very punchy, I'm still contemplating on whether to get 3rd party exhaust fitted or not, but then again the plan is to sit my DAS course, pass it for full licence and just pick up a GSXR, from 500 cc and upwards. I'm definitely leaning towards the new GSX-8R
@@DonReality I just showed my wife your response in a bid to further twist her arm.
Safe travels!
@@Fractal379 Interestingly, I clocked 84mph yesterday, although I achieved this on a decline terrain. Good luck convincing your wife 🤞
I have this bike and my wrist hurt 😂 but beautiful bike
😂
how old are you?
@@Gara_15028
Mine don’t. Maybe your pose it’s incorrect. Do not stretch your arms, and adjust the brake lever and clutch.
i got one and its awsome, it tops out around 80-85mph
That’s decent for the engine size 👍
@@GillyBikes love it, but cant wait to get a r6. Just gotta get older
You should aim for the R7. I love that bike. 😎
Twig and giggleberries got me giggling and that was the first time I’ve heard of it
I cant wait to buy this bike for my first bike! Im almost 16 and i need to save up some money for this
A good bike to aim for 👍
@@GillyBikes thank you for making this video it helped me in making my decision
@brkovi11 happy to help 😁
I have the same bike i have put a black widow exhaust on puts back pressure on the engine ive have 87 on mine and still could go you can increase the rev counter on them to 2019 verson dont have a restriction on them anything above that do
That’s impressive 😎
The problem with bikes is unless you live in a house with secure garden or a garage it's pointless having one because it just gets knicked I had a ninja 125 for 2 days double chained with 2 Oxford ground anchors front and back wheels and some assholes came in the night and used a van to rip them out of the ground loaded the bike up
Hey Gilly, My Son is 6' 2" and He wants to buy a 125cc sports bike, Any advice on which bike would be most suited for His height?. Personally I am a Car guy, But I do like watching motobike reviews.
All of the 125 sports bikes I’ve tried are all very similar height wise. Best advice I can give is take him to a dealers that sells them and he can jump on a few and see which bike he’s most comfortable on. 125 sports bikes are all quite small so he might feel cramped on all of them. Hopefully not though. Keep me posted. G.
Funny to see your review,, I had an RG 125 Gamma in 1987 and I am sure it would ruin this 4t Turd! PMSL, Kids today you missed out Bigtime!
I miss the 2stroke days. 🥲
Unfortunately had my r125 stolen had absolutely no problems with the bike although something about the gsxr pulls me in would you say it’s a worthy competitor 6’1 male about 88kg
Yamaha r125 that is
Such a shame. So many scum bags out there that take what doesn’t belong to them 🤬. The Yam looks nice as well. If you’re looking for a replacement though I would definitely consider one of these. Great bikes.
@@GillyBikes much appreciated love the videos no other as consistent / informative
Thanks mate I appreciate that.
And my was stolen.... and in the same day was burned 😢! Amazing motorcycle for beginners❤! With 10/15£ gaz you have for 4/6weeks for fun! ❤
Not for sale anymore. I bought it last week😂
Congrats. Great bike. Have fun and ride safe 😎
Just got one of these bikes, much faster than my lexmoto lxs which topped out at 78. The suzuki does 70 in 4th gear surprisingly, I love the bike. No need to rev the tits out of it, not great for comfort after an hour though lol
Standard sports position. Not made for comfort. Still loads of fun. 👍
I think this will be my A1 bike
That’s a good choice 👍
@@GillyBikes I've found a 2020 model with 18000km for €3290, do you think it is worth it?
That’s about right I would say. you could offer €3000 though and try and sweeten the deal. 😉
@@GillyBikes alright, thank you very much!
@@nesto9889 damn 18k km tho? Did you get it in the end? Is it good if you did. Looking at getting this bike for a first bike
Made in Indonesia and only £2500 brand new in Australia. Nice bikes.
Wow that’s cheap. Double that over here.
Very good Indonesia 🇮🇩💞
Thinking about picking this model up as my first bike, i m 38 and 189cm, will it be fine or would i look strange on it? if yes what other 125 would you reccomend?
I’m sure this would be fine, but sports bikes tend to be suitable for the smaller rider. However lots of bigger guys ride sports bikes. It’s about how you feel on them. Best advice is go and sit on one. If you feel comfortable then go for it.
Hey mate, just as a reference how tall are you? I’m 6’5 and I’ve sat on the bike before and it felt surprisingly comfortable but I’m not sure if while riding my height will be my downfall 😂
These will be fine for you. They are as big as any of its rivals. I’m a small 5ft 8. The main thing is if you feel comfortable when you sit on it. Also you are a giant. Please never stand next to me 😭. Just joking. 😂
Cheers mate. Yeah I get a lot of comments about my height, long way to go till I stop growing I’m 17 so there’s a few years for me to slow down 😂 but yeah I’ll probably end up on one of these bikes. Great review and cheers for the reply 👍🏻
Not a rider …..yet but I think once I start learning I will have to start on a 125 despite what I want to ride. Re the wrist pains, I was wondering - could this be sorted by changing the handle bars? I mean, I’ve seen a fair few bike vids and for nearly all of them, irrespective of type of bike ( so sports, adventure, dual sorts, scrambler etc) folks talk about swapping stock bars out for stuff like bar risers or after market stuff. Is that something that can be done to this bike? If so maybe getting a different set of bars, maybe more higher up or possibly more ‘open’/ away from the body could possibly help? Im 70kg and will mainly be using this for communing in and around London. If I do any longer rides it def wont be more than say more than 1.5hrs so hearing about wrist pain is a bit disconcerting. (I have pipe cleaners for arms!! Lol)
Yes you’re right you can spend more money making the bike fit you better. Some bar risers can help. I’ve been on a few sports 125’s that come as standard with a higher position so much better on the wrist I’ve done a review on the Keeway rkr and you can feel the difference here’s a link. th-cam.com/video/V5EjiusVCCo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yEfBYmZnd_K5KhcQ
It normally tops out at about 89/90/91
There is no way I could get one to go so fast. Maybe 70’sh with my heavy self on.
Still available?
You think somebody over 6ft Would fit on one
Yes I think you would be fine. To make sure though go down to your local dealership and sit on one 👍

Can you say if the riding position is lower than the kawasaki ninja 125cc please
Very similar
@GillyBikes
There's GXsr for sale nearly mint with extras for £2500 or I buy brand new kawasaki ninja for nearly £5k
As im new rider ....thought this GXsr was bargain and if dented ....its not tooooo bad a deal
That seems like a decent price 👍
@@GillyBikes
I thought so too.
Just worried bout the riding position but if no real difference to the ninja than I'm happy
@@GillyBikes
Seller won't answer any questions on service or previous services.
I'm out
Would you recommend this bike or a r125 yamaha
Both very similar. I do prefer the GSXR though.
@@GillyBikes I went to a store and loved the look/shape and size of it. Is the Yamaha r125 much bigger?
@@simpleclipzr125 is bigger and heavier but it has better torque at low rpm than this gsxr125, good thing about gsxr125 is it's lighter, nimble and has better too speed than competitors
@@arx117 Thanks I really appreciate it. Last question would you recommend the aprilla rs 125? 2 stroke
@@simpleclipz On a CBT/A1? Cant mate unless restricted to 15bhp which kinda defeats the object of a 2 stroke being faster. Maybe go for the RS4 4 stroke variant if u like the looks but I would just look at which is cheaper locally as YZF-R125, GSXR125 and RS4 4st are pretty much the same for speed. Hope that helps

?
Is the ninja 125 much heavier than this?
They are both very similar
Wait it’s keyless? So anyone can steal it
Any keyless bike comes with a fob that you have to have with you. If the fob is not close to the bike then it won’t start.
Its vastly overpriced for the 125 cc market. Most people will not spend £5.000 on a bike they dont intend on keeping for long say a year or yr n half max. Most 125 riders on cbt are simply riding a bike untill they get their full car licence and then probably wont touch a bike again. Or will ride a 125cc just for a short time because showing L plates are an embarrassment and as soon as they can will want to get their A1 + A2 OR Full access out the way so to ride those bigger bikes. Only people with money to burn will waste 5 grand on a poxy low powered 125 cc and considering how tight money is for millions of people i cant help but wonder how many of these are still left unsold ?
I don’t think people look at it that way anymore. I think most will say I can get a keeway for £40 per month or I can get one of these for £60 and they think for only £20 a month difference or £5 per week they can have one of these. Using finance as a way to buy these means more people do.
@@GillyBikes so are these selling well then ?
I’ve seen a few going in and out of In2moto. This one sold quickly. I’ve been in there today and they have just picked up 2 more. I’m back there next week. I wouldn’t be shocked if 1 or both had sold signs on.
@@GillyBikes statistics point to people are starting to veer away from finance/HP societies more or less in a recession right now and most people can't afford to put food on the table I'm sure their arnt many youngsters or students willing to put themselves £5000 in debt. Even at say 19 most parents would scold you today for getting yourself in bad debt especially how society is struggling today so I don't buy into the idea most kids will go finance to have this.
You would be surprised. Driving lessons and car insurance is that expensive it’s making these 125 bikes much more appealing. For a 17+ year old that’s working and living at home these bikes are a cheap option to get to work. However times are hard so not many can afford to pay £5000 out right which is why so many are going for the cheaper bikes. Keeways, lexmoto’s and Benelli’s at £3000 or less and have really cheap monthly payments. There are bikes for every budget. I have a video coming out tomorrow that is really cheap 👍
