Well we took delivery of the 150 version shown here. The bike is physically bigger and more cmpfy than the old model. It doesn't feel heavy though and suspension and brakes are good for a budget bike. That's the good stuff!
The bad news is that in stock trim it wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding. The gearing is too high and it won't pull top gear. The best you can get cruising is 110 km/h and then it slows down with the slightest rise. Absolute top speed with a professional GP racer on board was 128.
So we took off the exhaust and tried some of our own systems and now it revs much better an peaks at over 140 indicated.
If the CBR150 is anything to go on, expect the 125 to be slow and overgeared. Luckily by then we will have a nice performance exhaust which should trasform the power in minutes and thanks to the fuel injection, requires no setting up.
