As one of those guys... j/k

There's a ton of lighter bikes in Europe that really look the shit! It would be nice to have some here like that. At least they've finally decided to make the 250 Ninja look better. For a beginning rider, I think this 125 would be a great starter bike and it looks good! If that would have been an option I may have gone for one of those. But everyone says I'll outgrow my 250 quickly so I can't imagine how long you could ride a 125!

I like the CBR125R better... I'd love to pick up one of these things... would be a fun commuter and great to rail on back roads... They don't sell these in the US because us Americans need to start out on Busas to prove how large our yarbles are.

honestly, id just like to see more thought put into the 250 class. i love the looks of that 125, and i think a lot more people wouldnt "outgrow" the 250's if they just looked better. i know for me i can still have a white knuckle ride on decent roads on my 250, but the thing is admittedly the ugly duckling. im not really sure why they purposefully suppress the smaller engine market, although its probably because there is a lot less money in those bikes to keep costs down. oh well. guess ill just buy a bigger bike.

Power isnt everything guys and gals. Lighter weight gets you through the corners faster on two or four wheels and that means you never have to slow down... Your not drag racing a 50cc bike. All you knee draggers should be jumping at one of these. I know I would buy one just to have one if i could.

Plus it probably gets 80mpg!!!

I'd love to get one of those 50's... Preferably one that's been used, abused, shot at, pissed on, and left for dead... Cool little winter project, fun commuter, and track day blast...

k, so take everything i said and apply it only to US market. guess we get the short end of the stick on this one :(

maybe its a trade off, we have slower internet, but larger bikes. japan has super fast internet, and more awesome small bikes. japan sounds better every day.

Problem is your on an ISLAND which means you cant go very far without turning around and heading back the other way... I would get very tired of "Ive been on this road before and that one two and that one two and ...."
