Overview

Introducing the 2012 Clipic Radar 125, a remarkable entry in the allround motorcycle category that strikes a fine balance between style, performance, and affordability. Priced at around €1100, the Radar 125 appeals to both novice riders seeking their first taste of two-wheeled freedom and experienced enthusiasts looking for a reliable urban companion. Designed by the Spanish brand Clipic, this motorcycle embodies practicality without compromising on the thrill of riding, making it a standout option in the competitive sub-125cc market. At the heart of the Radar 125 lies a spirited 125cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating mix of power and efficiency. The engine, equipped with a double carburettor by Keihin, ensures smooth throttle response and a satisfying rush as you twist the grip. With an electromagnetic flywheel ignition system, this motorcycle is designed for reliability and ease of use, while its 5-speed gearbox offers smooth shifting for both city commuting and weekend adventures. The air-cooled engine keeps things simple and low-maintenance, providing a dependable ride for daily errands or leisurely rides through the countryside. The Radar 125's chassis showcases a robust steel frame that provides stability and confidence on the road. A hydraulic fork at the front and a monoshock rear suspension work in tandem to deliver a comfortable and controlled ride, even on uneven surfaces. The single disc front brake combined with a drum brake at the rear ensures dependable stopping power, enhancing safety for riders of all skill levels. With a seat height of just 770mm, it's approachable for riders of various sizes, and the 13.4-liter fuel tank allows for extended rides without frequent stops at the pump. Available in sleek black or vibrant red, the Radar 125 is as stylish as it is functional. **

Pros

  • Affordability: Priced competitively at around €1100, making it accessible for a wide range of riders.
  • Lightweight and Maneuverable: Weighing in at 130 kg, it’s easy to handle, perfect for urban commuting or new riders.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: With a seat height of 770 mm, it accommodates a variety of rider heights, ensuring comfort for longer trips.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Use: While excellent for city riding, the 125cc engine may struggle to keep up with faster traffic on the highway.
  • Basic Braking System: The combination of a single disc and drum brake may lack the performance of more advanced braking systems found in higher-end models.
  • Simplicity in Features: Lacking advanced tech features such as ABS or ride modes, it may not appeal to riders looking for high-tech enhancements.
