yamaha r125 and r15

[kiji]

i'l like to know which bike is better.

r125 or r15?

in terms of overall performances like speed, fc, maintenance and etc.

i've try to research on myself but i just can't find a proper review on both bike comparison.

so if you are riding or have ride on them b4, can u help me put here?

Same here but firstly from what i heard r125 otr price is about 12k. And r15 is about 7k. Big difference in price. But definitely in terms design r125 owns!!

I favor YZF-R125, speaking about performance, this baby born in Europe, hence they have certain bhp restriction for such beginner bike. But de-restricting it shouldn't be a problem.

 

Speed, approximation around 130km/hr? (*stock condition)

Fuel consumption, very subjective depend on individual and modification on the vehicle. Approximately, 40km per litre?

Maintenance, its all up to you, if you "feed" this baby with all the good stuff for sure your maintenance would be high. But again I wouldn't expect it to be very far fetch.

 

For more information please drop by the sportsbike thread, there you can find all the R125 ryders. Surely they have wrote loads of information on the vehicle.

Keep the 12k, buy a cheap bike upgrade 2a and ride a kawasaki 250r.. OTR less den 10k++, definitely cheaper, faster and better looking then this wannabe sportsbike.

Juz my recommendation onli, nt tryin to offend any r125/r15 riders. Cuz most want to ride tose bikes because they resemble their class2 siblings, well why nt juz go for kawa250r instead. looks like zx10r from afar and is quite big. Tried a friends 250r, cannot beat s4's top end la. But pickup and mid feel like my super4 despite 250cc, cuz the power to weight ratio is superb! Its quite rare on the road, cuz nt many ppl noe it even exist.

 

I juz feel if u wanna spend 12k, spend it on the superior bike.. can still save abt 2k also

I find that the R125 is quite over priced here in Singapore. It has a super look though. The R15 feels a bit...India? The small width of the wheels just makes it look as though it might just break apart from hard braking. Just my opinion though

yes agree with u but the thing slack bout this bike is the handle can't be lower down.....

[latino]

R15 quiet some guys that i met bought it 8K still expensive to me

If ur gonna spend 12k on a 2b bike, mite as well make it a rs125. At least got kick. I tried a friend's r125.. wah liao, its performance and sound is shxxt! The onli gud thing abt it is dat it really looks like r6 from afar, but still look small at closeup... kinda' like bringing a busty gal home and u discovered she tricked u w/ a pushup bra, hahahaha!

[rocklobster]

dont bother spending too much $$ on a 2B bike.... there is only so much juice you can squeeze out of a 200cc bike regardless of the number of mods you put in there....

 

get a sp, kr, r15 or anything affordable... save the $$ for a class 2A or 2 bike...

 

bottom line: its your $$, spend it however you want....

I second that. Hahaha. Very funny sia. Really make me laugh.

[KeraKing]

[rocklobster]

Is it correct to say that the new generation of 2b sports bikes are kups in sports bike fairings??

Yes, but with more expensive insurance, less aftermarket parts & modifications and looks hideous with a topbox

[Slack_ED]

Anyone know about R125 ? How much it cost and where to get it?

[x.shuffle]

I've rode the r15 before. It fuel consumption is really gd. But is the power is kinda compromise. Though i would have to say tt the handling is really nt bad. I noe nt much abt e r125 but it definitely looks much better. But it too ex.

[Slack_ED]

If one does not want to upgrade to class 2A or Class 2. Then R125 is quite worth it isnt it? haha any idea how much is it selling in the market now? I heard that onli 1 bike shop selling it in singapore, thats why they selling in at a high price since there's a high demand. We got no CHOICE !
