Benelli Leoncino 125 2022

Charming, pretty to look at and good to ride - with the Leoncino 125, Benelli has done everything right to create a competitive naked bike. The price is attractive, but unfortunately you have to settle for the CBS system. Otherwise, there is nothing to complain about - you certainly won't go wrong with the Benelli Leoncino 125!

Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 2021

Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 2021

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 inherits many components from its big 401 sister and the engine from the KTM 125 Duke. The components imported from the 401 are of high quality, but also make the bike quite heavy (for a 125). Nevertheless, it is a lot of fun, especially the Supermoto mode brings out the inner child. With its seating position, classy looks and higher weight, it is more something for individualists than for hobby racers. If you are looking for a unique A1 bike that feels and looks like a full-fledged motorbike, the Svartpilen 125 is a hot candidate.

Top chassis

Top brakes

Standard tyres offer excellent grip on the asphalt despite lug profile

Everyday suitability fully ok

Pleasantly upright seating position

Highest weight in the 125cc class

ground clearance too low for real off-road use

round LCD display already a bit dusty and not very elegant
