MX125 (2004 - 2008) review
Excellent supermoto fun at a restricted rate
Visordown
Pros
Italian cool for the chippy, the MX125 doesn't look like a small bike.
Cons
You'll get pulled for derestricting it.
A supermoto for those on a restricted licence. Supplied in 33bhp form, a £200 kit restricts it to a legal 12bhp, but where’s the fun in that then?A supermoto for those on a restricted licence. Supplied in 33bhp form, a £200 kit restricts it to a legal 12bhp, but where’s the fun in that then?
