The best 125cc motorcycles - 1000PS Top Awards 2024

The 1000PS editorial team took a look at a whopping 23 (!) motorcycle categories to select the 10 most popular bikes in the 1000PS Top Awards. Here are the best 125cc motorcycles

We didn't make it easy for ourselves when rating the 1000PS Top Awards, they had to be clear and above all comprehensible - the most popular bike of the editorial team should really be at the top. That's why we (Horvath, Juliane, McGregor, Mex, NastyNils, NoPain, Poky, Vauli, Wolf and Zonko) have worked out a very special evaluation key. Only those bikes that have actually been rated are included in the rating, then the frequency of the ratings is taken into account and finally the average of the respective ratings is calculated according to the school grading system (1 is the best grade). As not all editors have experience in all areas, there are categories in which not every editor has given a rating.
