New A1-licence Voge R125S set to land in the UK
The new Voge R125S naked arrives as a potential challenger to Kawasaki’s Z125 and the Honda CB125R.
Voge has expanded its naked entry-level range with the UK-bound R125S, which undercuts many other alternatives on the market in terms of price.
The new model features the same 125cc engine as its R125 sibling, which produces a claimed 14.7bhp at 9,500rpm and 8.8Ib-ft of torque at 8,000rpm.
The R125S is more expensive, albeit by a very small amount, as it features an OTR price of £2,999, compared with £2,799 for the R125. However, that price puts it below big-name competition such as the Kawasaki Z125 (£4,299).
The Chinese manufacturer’s new UK-bound R125S is also cheaper than the Honda CB125R (£4,799) and the Yamaha MT125, which is the most expensive of all these models at £5,300. Like the R125S, the Z125, CB125R and MT125 all produce 11kw of maximum power (14.7bhp).
When it comes to the rest of the bike, the R125S features a USD front suspension setup, which is paired with a monoshock at the rear. ABS is also found at both ends of the bike, while traction control is a standard feature.
The bike weighs 141kg, and has a seat height of 790mm which is also lower than the Z125, CB125R and MT125. Additionally, Voge says the new model has a ground clearance of 150mm.
In the cockpit, the rider gets use of a full-colour LCD display that allows for Bluetooth connectivity with the rider’s phone.
The R125S also gets full LED lighting and a forward facing 1080p camera, while integrated LED indicators add another layer of modernity and appeal. The 2026 R125S comes in a black colourway with yellow accents.
The bike is currently available for pre-order, and you can find out more information about the R125S on the official Voge Motorcycles website.
