Should have called it a "Baron TM-125".
A bit late the premium-stealthfighter-125 show, but it looks OK. I expect they'll wuss out and give it 13hp or so rather than the full fat 11kW/15hp though. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

hi,
i like the look olf that. i like it a lot.
IF it does go into production resembling anything like those pics, i reckon it could be a top seller.
sleeved down to 125cc for us in uk, & it could be the bike of choice for 17yr olds who only have the cbr/cbf commuters to choose from at present.
considering the cbr 125 is one of the top selling new 125's (it is, isnt it?)
it could be hondas answer to the yam yzfr-125 (nice looking, if you like that sort of thing) & the ktm duke 125 (nice looker shame its built out of chocolate)
i know its the opposite of what i normally like (small,fast 2 strokes) but seeing as its a 150cc, the uk version should be easy to return to 150cc, so, finally a honda 4 stroke that can actually be "de-restricted" by simply fitting a new top end & isnt a thai budget commuter wrapped in plastic.
cheers,
GAZ |

It was until the YZF-R125 held it down and violated it, although to be fair Honda are still shifting over 1,000 CBRs a year while the YZF looks to have tailed off a little this year.
The Duke 125 gets the attention but has sold 1500+ all-in to date. MT-125 is too early to tell, but I expect it'll take some of that KTM market.
Thing is, having multiple premium 125s available won't magically create more Yoofs willing and able to finance them, so they might just end up cutting themselves smaller slices of the pie. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Want!
It looks like it could be a good size, and well built. I would quite happily take one of those. I think that it looks nicer than the YZR to boot. ____________________ thx1138 wrote: Well if you had a car, I'd bet it would smell like urine had had drunken sex with vomit and made a poo baby.

If this came in 250cc I would be all over it in a heartbeat.
Cannot help but think that the name stands for 'Sweet Fuck All', bad omen perhaps?  ____________________ Motorsapien Art |

I fully agree. Shortie mudguards are a particular bĂȘte noire of mine.
Thing is, they are compulsory.

"motor cycles [...] shall be equipped with wings or other similar fittings to catch, so far as practicable, mud or water thrown up by the rotation of its wheels"
As always, the law means nothing unless enforced. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
