Used sporty 125 buying guide
These nearly-new learners give heavyweight thrills at a lightweight price
Scaled-down versions of their litre bike brothers, sports 125s give CBT holders a taste of race-rep ownership. Yamaha’s classleading YZF-R125 was launched in 2008 and wooed riders with its superbike looks. It’s joined by Aprilia’s jewel-like RS4, KTM’s futuristic RC125 and Honda’s trusty CBR125. Although rather pricey new, you can pick up lowmileage, two-year-old examples at huge savings.
