  Got a 21 plate so previous gen. I'm a full license holder, 20 years of motorcycle experience, living in Scotland. On the backroads here I've never considered it annoyingly slow. What I've noticed is that, because it's so light and nimble and not a lot of power, I often end up keeping up or even overtaking people on much bigger bikes who are evidently overpowered and scared by their own machines. Too many people get rid of their 125s as soon as they get that A license without properly mastering it. I bet 90% of the riders in the UK can't utilise the full potential of an MT-125 yet they're riding bikes with 10x the bhp, probably only using 15-20% of the capability. Sorry, rant over. Fun little bike that doesn't feel little and if you can live with the controversial looks probably the best all rounder 125.

  Hi Kate. I’ve last years model in blue & I love mine. I’m 60 & don’t feel silly on it, because it looks & feels like a big bike. It’s got a bit of a grunt too x

  Hi Kate, takes me back to my cb125 days.....a step up from my 50cc moped. 😊..they have thrown all the bits on this bike...too late for me but new riders will have a buzz and even a bit of fun together. 👍 Excellent job with the video 👍💯

  Surprised how good this seems as I thought KTM 125s were far ahead of the rest in the fun factor.<br><br>If I was in the market for a 125, this would definitely be on my radar.

  I knew you wouldn’t resist the rider coming past with chin on tank - go on Kate! &nbsp;I think the bike looks great… and for once the design looks like it was developed rather than just thrown together. &nbsp;Good video Kate - fun can be had on little tiddlers too!

  Lovely bike, very nearly got one but went with the XSR instead. The MT will be very popular with the younger riders, and was worried because of that it will be popular with those who don’t wish to pay for it.
