Honda XR125 2005 - I currently own this bike and I am very happy with it, I would definately recommend it for a first bike or for some one after a small engined bike. The fuel consumption is... more

    5 Stars Does exactly what it says on the tin - and more!! 13/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price, low running costs, reliability and cheap insurance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of top end speed

    Great bike, little money and a whole lot of fun! Thats the XR125L summed up in a few words, but let me go a little bit more indepth! When I first bought mine, I went into a honda show room looking for a CBR125R but when I seen this beside it, I literally laughed at how small the CBR is in comparison to this bike - I read review sites for the CBR and no one listed the height of it, or maybe I ignored it because it looked okay in the pictures! This little package of joy is a mean looking learner legal machine, guys on big bikes won't believe it's a 125 due to the height and road presence that ... more

    5 Stars Excellent Commuter/Learner/FUN :) 09/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quiet, Economical, VERY Forgiving, will last forever cos its a honda!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Low top end speed, not for those with short legs.

    I bought an 06 XR125L5 to use both for commuting and for fun off-road. This is quite a physically big bike, assuming decent leg length average height male should be fine, however my friend is 6ft (2 inches taller than me) and cannot get both feet on the ground completely flat so if you have short legs this wont be the bike for you. On-Road Comfort - smooth ride, takes the local potholes in its stride plus if you are in right gear whisper quiet. Also very forgiving, wide handlebars make steering nice and gentle. Speed - from stand still to 40-50 very nippy, getting above 50 takes a while ... more

    5 Stars you have found your first motorcycle 10/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap to buy, cheap to run, handles most terrain, good looks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages basic technology, rear drum break

    I bought my honda xr 125 from a local dealer for £2400 this included 2 years warranty and 2 years breakdown cover. I believe that for the money its a great value bike and it has never let me down on reliability after 1000 miles. Thats 300 miles run in period and then 700 miles of giving it death and it just seems to love it. The ride itself is reasonably comfortable and the handling is ok as the bike is quite light. As for performance, ok its not the fastest 125 but lets remember that it is a 4 stroke engine which is more reliable and much better sounding than its faster 2 stroke alternative ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Honda XR125L by mars-bar-man 12/11/2008
    Right, based on your review, how is someone meant to make an informed decision regarding the purchase of this bike? There are numerous spelling errors and gramatical errors, also a bit of common sense wouldn't go amiss. Let me direct you to a quote from you; "as i use to have a DT 125 on an 04 plate yeah it was fast but thay dont like clocking up miles mine blue up after 4000 miles dont buy a 2 strock buy a 4" That is probably the worlds worst constructed sentance I have ever come across. "blue up"? I mean come ... more

    4 Stars Slow and steady wins the race 30/04/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Ease of use, lightweight, fuel economy, slight cred.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow, slow, slow, slow.

    I brought my 'xr' brand new from a dealer for a reasonable 2200 pounds sterling. (There are good discounts if you just ask! Never pay screen price) It's comfortable, quiet, nippy up to 40mph and absolutely fantastic on petrol. (100mpg for me and I weigh 17 stone!) I use it to get to work on and for this job it's superb, it's when you get out of town and open the throttle that you realise performance-wise this is very much a geared scooter. Up to 40 mph its relatively nippy but after that you're just wasting time and loosening your fillings! I once went for a flat out run downhill with my chin ... more
