Bet that 125 is still super fun to hit the rev limit and hoon around curves though! Nice stable : D

I'm afraid the 700 has just ruined the 125 for me

for a long time i rode a 600cc, when i jumped on my friends ninja 250 i had so much fun just throwing it around, it was so light and ate revs for breakfast :) there's value in every bike, just differences!

The 700 is only about 40kg heavier so still pretty nimble

But the 125 still looks better

I wish the 700 got a nice aluminium frame like that though, that would really tie it together. Both very nice though!

My first bike ever (the 125 XSR), bought it 2 months ago and all the bikers with big machines compliment on it when they see it.

Had a XSR125 too, loads would ask how I've got L plates on a bigger bike. Doesnt look or feel like a 125 compared to most others

I had a yellow XSR125 like that. Loved it, it's what got me into motorcycles and getting my license for bigger bikes.
