Conclusion - what sticks
The Voge R125 is a good and above all cheap naked bike for A1 and B196 riders. It looks sleek and is technically equipped in a class-standard manner. Thanks to its low weight and 15 hp engine, an A1 bike can move faster than expected. Other highlights are a coloured LCD cockpit with lots of information, a gritty-sounding underfloor exhaust as well as very nice LED lighting front and rear.Whether the small dimensions are suitable for a taller driver can only be weighed up during a test drive or at least during a test drive. Like all other 125cc bikes, the Voge R125 is quite small. So - let's go to the dealer and just sit on the little fun rocket!
