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.

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. **
