Overview

Introducing the 2020 Honda RS 125, a thrilling entry into the sport motorcycle category that combines cutting-edge technology with Honda's storied reputation for reliability and performance. Designed for both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts, the RS 125 captures the essence of agility and excitement, making it the perfect companion for urban commuting and spirited weekend rides. With its sleek lines, aggressive stance, and vibrant color options—Black/Red or Silver/Black/Red—this bike is not just about performance; it makes a statement wherever it goes. At the heart of the RS 125 lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.20 ccm. This powerplant delivers an impressive 28.16 horsepower at your fingertips, allowing you to zip through traffic and tackle winding roads with confidence. The engine's high compression ratio of 12.5:1, combined with a precise electronic ignition and an efficient Carburettor fuel system, ensures responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery. With a 6-speed gearbox, the RS 125 keeps you engaged and in control, while the liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal engine temperatures during spirited rides. Whether you're navigating city streets or carving through backroads, the RS 125 promises a thrilling and dynamic riding experience. The 2020 RS 125 is built on a sloping twin-spar frame crafted from lightweight aluminum, reinforced with cross-ribbing for enhanced stability and handling. This innovative design is complemented by an advanced suspension setup, featuring an upside-down hydraulic fork at the front and a hydraulic monoshock at the rear, both designed to absorb bumps and provide exceptional feedback on the road. With a generous front brake disc diameter of 300 mm and a rear disc of 218 mm, the braking system ensures confident stopping power. Additional features, such as electric start and adjustable rear spring preload, further enhance the riding experience, making the RS 125 a versatile option for riders of all skill levels. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: The lightweight frame and advanced suspension offer remarkable agility and cornering capabilities.
  • Strong Performance: The powerful engine delivers an exhilarating ride, making it suitable for both commuting and sport riding.
  • Stylish Design: Eye-catching color schemes and sporty aesthetics make the RS 125 a head-turner on the road.

Cons

  • Limited Storage: The bike's sporty design means it lacks in-built storage options, which may require additional accessories for longer rides.
  • Seat Height: With a seat height of 820 mm, it may be less accessible for shorter riders.
  • Single-Cylinder Vibes: While the single-cylinder engine enhances performance, it may produce noticeable vibrations at higher RPMs, which could be uncomfortable over long distances.
