The best coffee racer 125 that you can buy in 2024

Introduction to 125 Cafe Racer

THE 125cc represent a large part of the rolling motorcycles on our roads. Indeed, they represent half of motorcycle sales.

125cc cylindrical motorcycles are accessible to motorcycle license holders as well as motorists with the passage of a 7 -hour training and from 16 years old with the A1 permit.

Motorcycles 125cc are small motorcycles generally around 100 kg and which must not exceed 15 horses.

Motorcycles neoreros And personalization took a large market share of the Moto 125. We find scramblers, cafe racers, customs and even trackers.

The 125cc are not affected by technical control.

Technical point on the 125:

Most of 125 cc of this type use an architecture of the type:

• Steel tubular framework
• Air cooling monocylinder, simple head camshaft
• 17 -inch radius rims

The peculiarity of the latest 125cc, compared to the old 125, is the presence of elements corresponding to the new standards (Euro 4, 5 and soon to cite them):

• Front and rear disc brakes
• Coupled brakes 70/30
• Electronic injection
• ABS (for some models).

There Simplicity of construction and use means that these motorcycles are highly appreciated And represent a large part of the market.

The 125 is an affordable pleasure to the greatest number. This is one of the entrance doors to the universe of the motorcycle. 

As a reminder, a cafe racer is a version stripped And course a standard motorcycle in order to give it more sporty driving.

We have seen in our article devoted to this subject, scramblers 125 which are available on the market.

Buying a new 125 coffee can represent a interesting alternative for people wanting a cafe racer already made, without making a change on it, or only a few secondary accessories. 

In this article, we will see the Café Racer New in 125 version available on the 125cc market in 2023.

Conclusion :

The constructor MASH, specialist in 125 in France, is absent from our selection, he no longer offers a variant Cafe Racer of the Seventy in 2023.

The same has the same for Mutt Motorcycles which offers many variants of scrambler but not cafe racer, too bad. 

Brexit perhaps deprives us of several interesting models as presented above the Herald CAFE 125 Sport, Ajs Cadwell or Lexmoto TEMPEST GT 125 Overview. You can always consult your models for your inspirations!

Very little new features in 2023. For the past few months, we have noticed the drop in customers of new 125 coffee racers to the profile of scramblers and trackers. That is why The offer available on the market is less important in comparison with scramblers.

However, the CAFE RACER keep an important success with people who want to personalize their motorcycle. Indeed, it is quite easy to transform a 125cc basic in Unique Cafe Racer 125.
