@@cammydough3184 it's quite heavy, big and down on power in comparison and the build quality is noticeably lower. The lxr125 is a good budget 125 sports bike but not quite comparable to the gsx r125
@@cammydough3184 the rear tyres on lxr's are really bad rubber and they don't give you much grip tbf. I'm not denying that it's decent value for money but it's cheaper for a reason and it's more evident when you've had experience on both. I'd say that the downside on the suzuki is the price but they're starting to get a bit cheaper now especially for the earlier 2017 models. I'd say the downsides for the lxr though is that the tyres are pretty much plastic and they aren't too confidence inspiring, the frame is less stable, it's down by about 3hp (which is kinda a lot when the max amount is 15hp) while being 30kg heavier which won't help and the suspension is definitely an after thought. I will say though that the gsxr and the lxr are 2 very different bikes and you can't really compare them. The gsxr is more fir people who enjoy the aspect of carving through canyons and riding pinned through the twisties whereas the lxr is more of a commuter bike for teenagers going to college and back everyday that want something that looks cool and makes them feel fast and both bikes have trade offs due to the prices. Please don't take this the wrong way, the lxr is good for the price and it's a decent enough bike at the end of the day but the gsxr out performs it in every way to the point where I feel the price is justified
I'm turning 17 next month and looking for one of these I've been watching so many videos but I agree for a first 125cc its a bit costly but I'm look forward to it :)
Would not normally have clicked on this one Spicy! Glad I did though, interesting (as the only 125 I've ridden was for my CBT!), and you coaxed a few good laughs outta there too :) happy days keep up the good work!
Iv had 93mph stock but exhaust and filter made it slower but wanted looks and sound more now it’s does 86mph but I can currently only prove 84mph before having to slow due to a car my advice keep it stock
Of course, when discussing top speed, or any speed, we often forget to factor in speedometer error. So 90mph is probably ~81mph, 80mph is ~72mph, etc.. Unless one is taking their speed readings from a GPS, or has a properly calibrated speedohealer installed. Regardless: 80-90mph on a 125 is pretty good.
I recently moved up to a 125. I got an old 2004 CBR for cheap money. Stripped it to the frame and rebuilt it. It will easily do 70 so I'm very happy with it aha
@@atem8101 started on a 50cc kymco when I was 16 as that's all we are allowed to ride... At 17 I got a 125 as that's all we are allowed to ride. I now have a 250 and a 600 lol
@@jaccovw99 Why am I having trouble believing any school would do CBT's on Duke 125 instead of much cheaper Lexmoto's and Hondas? Also, massive gulf in difference to having no experience with a geared bike, being on a battered school bike and being under the eye of a CBT trainer. Why did you end up on a pull and go? ;) Despite a Duke going 80mph, faster does not mean better by the way. (I saw you edited your comment, no way a scooter accelerates faster than a geared bike. Your shifting must just be whack)
@@wholeshowThe owner of school got the bike from his nephew, who now drives something else. Admittedly, I did not have much experience shifting, however I feel like the scooter accelerates faster up until 50-60 mph because the vario transmission keeps the little engine in it's ideal powerband, and eliminates the need for shifting. The top speed is lower though.
Sorry to be that guy, but all the 17 year olds commenting about the Yamaha being the best bike... how can you know? I’m sorry but how many 125’s have you all actually ridden? 😂 great video btw spicy, have been talking about this bike with the apprentice lately so no doubt we’ll be discussing this video later today as he’s a sub too! Merry Christmas!
I have an r125, and have bigger bikes but not rode many 125s baring the cbr and a couple others. I've looked on youtube and so far the r125 is the fastest hitting 87mph, unless it's a 2 stroke of course. Edit: Oh and I'm 27 just as a side note.
In Indonesia, Suzuki motorcycle is known for their build quality, top tier if we compare them to other brands here, but unfortunately, they're not as shiny and tempting as other brands because their looks are "Indian" whilst Indonesians like the looks of Japanese and European design, Yamaha and Honda looks nice. I myself like the design of this GSXR, it looks compact and timeless.
Loved the video, reminded me of some of your older ones on the 125cc bikes. I've been umming and ahing about getting the GSX-R 125 for a while (as a first bike to ride on CBT (and then to hand down to my kid brother when he's old enough lol)), think this settles it! =D
Spicy rides very differently to me, it looks like he is constantly up in high revs, sometimes near the limit, as the RPM warning light blinks, which the manual suggests never to do, and is in lower gears in comparison to where I would be. Not sure how that will affect mileage but I've seen around 115mpg when the rated is 122mpg. It's a really great bike, very nimble, the keyless function is a great addition and is something I want going up to bigger sports bikes, but you have to remember to put the steering lock on or the bike is actually still possible to be turned on in the neutral position. The mileage is great even for a 125 with it's light weight. The only downside is that it's a very small bike if you're a taller person, almost impossible to tuck yourself in properly which leads to what Spicy had, a body full of wind! The paint is like all other GSXRs, it stone chips very easily so take care with it! The rest of the bike is top quality, the single wavy disc for front brake hasn't yet failed me even having to really go for it to slow down in a hurry. I first wanted a Honda CBR for my first bike but when I saw the GSXR my mind was made up instantly and I have no regrets. The YZF might be the best 125 sports bike but it's not as valuable and the GSXR comes out as winner imo. When I was on my friends private road :^) I managed to hit 75mph but had to slow down as sharp corner was coming up, there was still more in the tank though so 80 is possible! Cheers! Owner of a white 2018 GSXR125.
I just got this bike a couple months back and have been loving it, it does leave me wanting for a little more but understanding it’s a 125 and that in the UK you need to do your CBT first it’s a perfect little run around, if the bigger bikes you’re going to get are supersports this is a perfect starter
I have a GSX R-125 and I drive it on a daily basis with my friends on MT´s, YZF´s, Duke´s and RC´s. Nothing can keep up with me if I really want to go flat out. The driver is the most important part, but when the gixxer is so much better it gives me a huge advantage. I have upgraded it fully out with a Scorpion echaust, MRA windscreen, R&G tidy tail, R&G crash protection(Everything) and a suzuki tankpad (and sidetank pad). I personally think the Suzuki is the best 125. Offcourse im a bit biased, because I own one haha.

Love the 125 videos Spicy. The little Suzuki? Very good, yes, but exciting no. I have owned about 30 different 125 bikes and scooters, could be more. The current generation of non-Japanese Japanese bikes are excellent for the money. If they were built in Japan they would cost a great deal more. And people these days do not wanna pay it. They are easy to ride, reliable, economical and look pretty good. But for someone who wants to ride fast on road they’re useless offering pathetic acceleration slower than a large family car. They offer an enjoyable ride but never an exciting one. Compare to a two-stroke road race bike offering 80 mph when still restricted, and good for 100 mph plus deristricted. 0 to 60 in 6 seconds on the RS125. 5 If you change the sprocket size. In 5000 miles on my RS125 I was overtaken twice on my Yamaha MT125 I was overtaken by everyone and struggled to outrun pensioners on mobility scooters! Such a shame they stopped producing the two strokes. It would be good to see you riding one!
I have a GSX-S 125 with a lot of mods: Yoshimura exhaust, k&n filter, lipo battery, pillion peg delete, 2nd air injection delete, Kijima screen, tail tidy and ~£300 worth of aluminium and titanium bolts from probolt. I saw 87mph at redline in 6th on a slight downhill stretch of "racetrack" in wind free conditions. I've now gone a tooth higher on primary sprocket and it's almost as quick still but much more relaxed. Welcome to ride if you're ever in south west for any reason.

That’s lovely. I have done some dual carriageway way riding and I struggle to find any pleasure pleasure in it. I would rather take the back roads and enjoy the experience of getting there slower.

Hate to be the guy that pimps his own bike but right now you can get a Duke 125 new for £2799 and it just wipes the floor with the Suzuki when it comes to flashy gadgets TFT dash, USB port, Bluetooth music control on the handlebars, beautiful LED head and tail light, illuminated switchgear, switchable ABS, ect, ect
Like your review's brother, you should do more review's. Wish they made a 125cc ROTARY engine bike. My first bike was the Yamaha TZR125R. Fast for a 125.
i ride one of these in Bermuda. its a small island with lots of curvy roads 3rd gear is really over the speed limit of 35k. price was 5k witch is not that expensive due to most bikes ranging form 2.5k to 7k on this island.
I can’t make my mind up between a Suzuki GSX S125 or Suzuki GSX R125, going to using it to commuting to work and pleasure riding, any recommendations please guys? Bikes I have owned are, Honda Cub C50, Honda Superdream Twin, Yamaha DT125, Yamaha TZR125 ( race tuned ), currently riding a Vespa ET4 125 but want a geared 125 and it’s either going to be GSX S125 or GSX R125 ( Toss a coin time )
No but that's because I was and am all about supermotos at heart. If I were in the market for a 125cc sports style bike this would be it most likely mainly down to the price.
Can you look at the Keeway Superlight limited please? Would love too see a great review like this one for that bike, because I’m thinking of getting one for myself (passed my cbt last week)
@@Adam-ce2fe Thank you, my speedo reads 10-15mph more than what im doing so i rely on an app for speed readings which seem to be accurate as i tested it in a car but as we know some car speedos arnt true either, i havnt been flashed yet tho lol
You always mention that you are 6.4 but you never mention how heavy you actually are? Doesn't weight have more to do with how the bike will accelerate and what top speed you can get?
@@spicy110 I only ask because when I was looking for my 1 and even my second 125 I would always see people being able to get at least 5-10mph more than what I was able to achieve. My first 125 was a 2012 ybr and as you may know it's 10.5 bhp if I remember correctly. So after having it for about 10 month and only being able to get about 50-53 at cruising speed I wanted something more in terms of size and top speed/better cruising speed, something that would do 60-65 or god forbid even 70mph so I went and bought a zontes zt125 g1 which filled my criteria but then again many videos online would show people being able to get 80mph and up but I've never came close to that. I'm 6.4 myself but about 18 stone after lockdown😅 so thought that my weight was the problem and not my height. Great vids mate keeping on going you'll be at 100k in no time👍
I've been looking at the Yamaha YZF-R125 as I'm 17 in February, they look really good as well!! Agree with you on the keyless thing though, seems more hassle than it's worth. Other than that it also seems like a good option, still will be going with the Yamaha though!
Have heard the YZFs crank bearings bust after a short while. Honda CBRs are equally as fast a better priced, and last a heck of a lot longer. Might be biased but i pulled an indicated 95 on my cbr with a bit of wind. 85-90 on a calm day :D
@@hakongn8245 The bike has been sold and i bought an yzf r125 instead. I haven't experienced seating on a gsx125r but i can say that i'm very comfortable on the yzf.
I wouldn’t mind starting out on a 125 hopefully sometime this year I’ll be doing that hopefully the bike I get can get up to 70 to 80 mph if you can help me choose the best one is to get a 125 be much appreciated you can contact me if you want
Got mine when they came out, The Good handeling and power for a 125 is good, it feels stable at 60-70mph Having you wireless key fob on you main key chain mean you wont ride off with out them by accident The Bad The wireless key stop working it wil connect to a different signal, you have to hold the fob under the wheel arch to make it reconnect Had to have the bike towed once ,corrotion on the electronics stopped the bike starting (probably from poor bike cover and it was raining alot) The quality of metals used is bad, lots of small rust spots now I keep mine outside with a cover on all the time, needs alot of wd40 spray I've had the front and rear brakes serviced, they got too much salt from grit they put on the roads during winter Most of this can be avoided with a good bike cover, regular mainance
had hyosung gt125r then got one of these yes both 125 but my god they are worlds apart, must say its worth the extra cash, the keyless thing is a bit naff a normal key would havwe been better and put the money on another part of the bike but all round a really good 125

'You cant compare a used bike to a new one'. Yes, you can because they have EXACTLY the same purpose. Just because someone else has ridden it for a couple of thousand miles, doesnt mean it is not comparable. Only bikes with significant age differences, milages and purposes are uncomparable. For example, you can't compare your XJ6 to a 90s Triumph sprint 900. HOWEVER, you CAN compare your XJ6 to a new Honda VFR800F (Rarely would you do so, but the point still stands).
You don't get a warranty second-hand, it's sold as seen no come back. You can buy used from a dealer in which case you will pay a little more. The big difference is you don't know how that bikes been looked after. Whose to say they didn't nearly run it dry of oil at some point and the crankshaft bearings are about to explode?
@@spicy110 This doesnt make them incomparable though. These are things to take into consideration when looking to by a motorbike, along with the difference in price. There are risks with everything in life, but just because there is more risk doing one thing vs another, doesnt mean they're automatically not comparable. I'm afraid I cannot agree with you on this one spicy.
Top speed cbt legal maybe this maybe a Yamaha. Acceleration wise zero FXS 11KW is by far the fastest but you won't be likely to get insured on it if your 17-18 on a cbt.
Suzuki is always the best bang for your buck. I love all the Japanese bikes I don't care if I'm riding Yamaha Kawasaki Honda whatever they're all dope

For me then, the advantages of having a big heavy bike would not outweigh the downside. This or a Versus 300 appeals muchly after I wave goodbye to my L plates😂
what do u think about the 125 duke/rc?
very good video keep up the good work.l have 125 Honda cbr 125r got a good deal. l think.17 plate. 1.750 miles £2.500 ok for a work horse
Loved it when you undertook that woman in her car 🤣🤣
Hey spicy, new sub here, really looking into doing my cbt and getting a 125. Have you ever / would you ever review some of the 125 Keeway Bikes?
Hi , what rpm does it sit on at 60 mph in 6th ?
I now own this bike that he had tested 😄
Hate to be the guy that pimps his own bike but right now you can get a Duke 125 new for £2799 and it just wipes the floor with the Suzuki when it comes to flashy gadgets TFT dash, USB port, Bluetooth music control on the handlebars, beautiful LED head and tail light, illuminated switchgear, switchable ABS, ect, ect
Not disagreeing with anything you said but It's not a sports bike in the traditional sense.
@Moto594 - I tried to tell my girlfriend that but she wanted the GSX-S125 anyway.
Is the 2019 model better or worse for the money?
Where wcan I buy one for these I can't find any int he us
What speed did you get with it on the track?
Like your review's brother, you should do more review's. Wish they made a 125cc ROTARY engine bike. My first bike was the Yamaha TZR125R. Fast for a 125.
It looks amazing
hey merry x-mas
what do u estimate the top speed is on that bike?
Enough to get you points on any road in the UK
140kmh
if the main brands do think about their prices soon MR china will pass them soon in key areas
i ride one of these in Bermuda. its a small island with lots of curvy roads 3rd gear is really over the speed limit of 35k. price was 5k witch is not that expensive due to most bikes ranging form 2.5k to 7k on this island.
I can’t make my mind up between a Suzuki GSX S125 or Suzuki GSX R125, going to using it to commuting to work and pleasure riding, any recommendations please guys? Bikes I have owned are, Honda Cub C50, Honda Superdream Twin, Yamaha DT125, Yamaha TZR125 ( race tuned ), currently riding a Vespa ET4 125 but want a geared 125 and it’s either going to be GSX S125 or GSX R125 ( Toss a coin time )
Bro please test ride the Yamaha xsr125cc you won’t be disappointed! It’s incredible for a 125!
Any views on old 125s? Like Aprilia RS125 etc.
What is the rattle that nearly all 125’s seem to have these days? Surely they aren’t manufactured to pink
Would you have chosen this bike as a first bike over the pulse/sinnis that you had?
No but that's because I was and am all about supermotos at heart. If I were in the market for a 125cc sports style bike this would be it most likely mainly down to the price.
Can you look at the Keeway Superlight limited please? Would love too see a great review like this one for that bike, because I’m thinking of getting one for myself (passed my cbt last week)
Did you pass 8.0mph? Or was it closer to 7.8mph?

Could you put the max speed somwhere in the next video without an explanation, or even hidden somewhere we can find it or is that too risky?
I like coloured dots just saying 😙
@@spicy110 😢 i cant see it
it most likely hit 78mph but with the inaccurate speedometer its more like 72mph
@@Adam-ce2fe
Thank you, my speedo reads 10-15mph more than what im doing so i rely on an app for speed readings which seem to be accurate as i tested it in a car but as we know some car speedos arnt true either, i havnt been flashed yet tho lol
You always mention that you are 6.4 but you never mention how heavy you actually are? Doesn't weight have more to do with how the bike will accelerate and what top speed you can get?
yes and no, Performance is not relevant and is in fact hindered if you can not fit on the bike correctly or comfortably. being in a
@@spicy110 I only ask because when I was looking for my 1 and even my second 125 I would always see people being able to get at least 5-10mph more than what I was able to achieve. My first 125 was a 2012 ybr and as you may know it's 10.5 bhp if I remember correctly. So after having it for about 10 month and only being able to get about 50-53 at cruising speed I wanted something more in terms of size and top speed/better cruising speed, something that would do 60-65 or god forbid even 70mph so I went and bought a zontes zt125 g1 which filled my criteria but then again many videos online would show people being able to get 80mph and up but I've never came close to that. I'm 6.4 myself but about 18 stone after lockdown😅 so thought that my weight was the problem and not my height. Great vids mate keeping on going you'll be at 100k in no time👍
I know this is an old video but im stumped on the YZF R125 or GSXR 125, which would you recommend? it will be my first bike
Have you been out on the Honda cb125r it a good bike for a learner.
Think bike sticker on the bmw that over took you 🤔
Yep I did laugh at that, but didn't criticize that fact as it was a safe overtake.
Classic move at 8.28 lol she must have thought "Bastard".
brother where r u from? your country's cc limit??
England, we have no cc limit. Only license levels
What happens when someone nicks your key. Because your not taking it out as that defeats the purpose of it been keyless
Huh? The key is in your pocket so when you walk a few feet from the bike it locks.
@@spicy110 I was referring the the bit you pulled out
I've been looking at the Yamaha YZF-R125 as I'm 17 in February, they look really good as well!! Agree with you on the keyless thing though, seems more hassle than it's worth. Other than that it also seems like a good option, still will be going with the Yamaha though!
Have heard the YZFs crank bearings bust after a short while. Honda CBRs are equally as fast a better priced, and last a heck of a lot longer. Might be biased but i pulled an indicated 95 on my cbr with a bit of wind. 85-90 on a calm day :D
@@thebikerbrit1311 I might have another look into them then, thanks :)
was it comfortable if you are 6'4?
I am 6'4 too and i am planning to get one aswell
If you bought it was it comfortable to your height? Im considering buying it too
@@hakongn8245 The bike has been sold and i bought an yzf r125 instead.
I haven't experienced seating on a gsx125r but i can say that i'm very comfortable on the yzf.

@@hakongn8245 no problem!! Try the site cycle-ergo.com. it may be helpful!
I wouldn’t mind starting out on a 125 hopefully sometime this year I’ll be doing that hopefully the bike I get can get up to 70 to 80 mph if you can help me choose the best one is to get a 125 be much appreciated you can contact me if you want
If you want you could test ride my Honda cbr125r I'm baised near haslemere motorcycles.
I'm sure he'd love too, but I think he said before he wouldn't ride others bikes due to insurance costs and the risks of it. :) But very kind offer.
The cbr125r is now discontinued

@@adamshax7752 I don't have any crashed my old bike bought this as a replacement
Got mine when they came out,
The Good
handeling and power for a 125 is good, it feels stable at 60-70mph
Having you wireless key fob on you main key chain mean you wont ride off with out them by accident
The Bad
The wireless key stop working it wil connect to a different signal, you have to hold the fob under the wheel arch to make it reconnect
Had to have the bike towed once ,corrotion on the electronics stopped the bike starting (probably from poor bike cover and it was raining alot)
The quality of metals used is bad, lots of small rust spots now
I keep mine outside with a cover on all the time, needs alot of wd40 spray
I've had the front and rear brakes serviced, they got too much salt from grit they put on the roads during winter
Most of this can be avoided with a good bike cover, regular mainance
Scholl boy sniggering at traffic lights, lol.
Did it get up to 80mph
Some say the dots mean something, but who knows
I've decided to wait to do my bike test, doing my tractor one instead 😂
And that will pay for your bike one in due course assume?
@@spicy110 yeah, hopefully working on a farm for 7 odd years will get me enough money for a nice 701 😁

@@lonelyrides5692 yep only £62, you have gotta supply the tractor tho
Why isn't this bike in the USA?
USA doesn't buy 125cc bikes is normally why.
@@spicy110 .. they should..
Lots more fun
You should review the ktm duke 125 I want to see what you think of it
did your bike pass its mot?
I dont understand this I can go 135 and his saying if it will go 80 even in some website's it says ridiculous numbers
Because this is in MPH?
Check out the new YZF125 😁
This one is faster ;)
Tigro-Agario haha
Should test ride a rs 125 mine does 92 it’s a two stoke
De-restricted I take it?
Can you ride this at 17 on the cbt ?
Yes
@@spicy110 thank you
had hyosung gt125r then got one of these yes both 125 but my god they are worlds apart, must say its worth the extra cash, the keyless thing is a bit naff a normal key would havwe been better and put the money on another part of the bike but all round a really good 125
8:30 you chicky bastard
As a owner of one of these I can report that not bike acutely hits 88mph
I'M almost 30 but I prefer bikes like this one 60mph enough to enjoy travel 😉 But just wonder How engine will look after few years because gsx r250 have very similar performance 🤔

My little brother has this bike the keyless thing is a joke his battery went dead and couldn't get the staring lock off as the keyless system didn't work so had to take battery off charge it then put it back in
8:36 it's the little things
I agree 125 need all the power so I don't know why they don't give them the full power there entitled too ? Love reading comments cue the mine will do 90 😂
Cause with first drive license u can only drive 15 horses
'You cant compare a used bike to a new one'. Yes, you can because they have EXACTLY the same purpose. Just because someone else has ridden it for a couple of thousand miles, doesnt mean it is not comparable. Only bikes with significant age differences, milages and purposes are uncomparable. For example, you can't compare your XJ6 to a 90s Triumph sprint 900. HOWEVER, you CAN compare your XJ6 to a new Honda VFR800F (Rarely would you do so, but the point still stands).
You don't get a warranty second-hand, it's sold as seen no come back. You can buy used from a dealer in which case you will pay a little more. The big difference is you don't know how that bikes been looked after. Whose to say they didn't nearly run it dry of oil at some point and the crankshaft bearings are about to explode?
@@spicy110 This doesnt make them incomparable though. These are things to take into consideration when looking to by a motorbike, along with the difference in price. There are risks with everything in life, but just because there is more risk doing one thing vs another, doesnt mean they're automatically not comparable. I'm afraid I cannot agree with you on this one spicy.
Fair enough 👍
I still laugh my arse off when u over take that woman I've watched it about ten times 😂😂 😂
That one was 100% called for 🤣

How long have you got to wait?
@@spicy110 at least until april i won’t have my license, there’s a lot of waiting list in Spain
My first bike was an 2014 R125, I loved it, my son has a 2016 gsxr125, not as good in my I opinion. For gsxr top speed run see OnTheLimit channel?
I had a TZR125 which did 90mph easily ,with just over 100mph possible and done a few times. smaller bikes have to be two stroke to be fast
Cbr250rr. Zxr250 fzr250. All inline 4's with 16,000rpm redlines
My sh125 2004 model does 80mph hitting the redband
Probably the vvt that give it the bit extra
The best 125 is the one you can buy for under 1000$$$
If inflation keeps going £1000 won't even get a runner
Hope you're handy with the spanners.
Please bro i need help what is the fastest 125 lol
Top speed cbt legal maybe this maybe a Yamaha. Acceleration wise zero FXS 11KW is by far the fastest but you won't be likely to get insured on it if your 17-18 on a cbt.
a lot of 125 riders will be commuter riders and the 17 year old 125 riders are speed mad they will get this when doing there mod 1 and mod 2
I hate the keyless on mine it’s pointless but other then that the bike is fast (I’ve had 87 on a private road )
Hmm.. You could say it definitely lived up to the expectations lol I know you got that bike over 70 mph 🤣.
M.H. 125 or. M.H. 370 ¿¿¿¿¿
