When was Kawa's last 125cc sports bike? At the end of the 80s, with the 125 AR? Were there any after that? I'm not sure.

With this small-displacement Ninja, the brand has set itself a superb challenge. To return to a displacement segment abandoned since the little Eliminator, to tease the sport, and to invest in a category where the R 125 and RC Katoche are firmly established. You need a strong stomach.

Let's go for it. At Kawasaki, the time is ripe for daring. This 125 Ninja will be just the thing to get teenagers excited, as they whip out their smartphones with Sykes or Rea attacking their bikes in the background. And it's not afraid to say that its design is inspired by the ZX-10 RR raced in WSBK. Well... Fair enough. We're not going to tell you the story of the frog and the ox. However, the machine is a real eye-catcher for A1 licence holders, and it exudes the Ninja spirit that the company cultivates in large doses.

You'll be eager to discover the angle once you've harangued the good roads. The Ninja 125 is powered by a single-cylinder engine developing 15 hp. There's no need to ask for more, it's just like the others, and it's the maximum allowed. On the technical side, the Kawa doesn't stand out much more, with one brake disc per wheel, ABS, narrow tires (better for agility), half-handlebars that aren't too brittle, and a certain sense of ego.
Where the Ninja scores points is in its inspired design, with its green-radiated coat and tubular steel trellis frame. The designers were keen to draw a parallel with the structure used for the H2. More marketing than necessary. But it will hit the bull's-eye, and provoke the KTM, the only other 125 sports bike to be fitted with this type of frame.

Something is afoot among the 125s. Although the CBR has no offspring at present, a certain GSX-R has recently joined the RS, R 125 and RC gang. Now the Kawasaki 125 Ninja is stirring up trouble. And so much the better. A little turbulence in the 1/8th liter always makes for a great little neighborhood romp.

AVM22 Model 2019

I fell in love with this little toy almost as soon as it came out. It was my dream to ride a Kawasaki one day, even a 125. I've had it for almost 6 years now, and I'm still crazy about it: it's still as smooth and efficient as ever. The engine is very responsive, with very decent torque for a 125, and even after 27,000 km, it doesn't flinch and keeps going. In bends, it does what it wants, that's all it asks, and it knows how to defend itself on the main roads without putting the engine into a dive.
Don't forget to change the optics on the first versions for LEDs, as the lighting is a bit guez though (not a big fan of the single headlight). Very easy maintenance: a little grease, periodic maintenance will do the rest. Incredibly reliable for a first European release. The electronic clamp isn't frustrating: at 9500 km/h, you don't have to risk going into the red.

I'm tackling the A2 in 2025, but clearly I intend to keep it even after I've passed it. I've had my finest hours with it, and I think that on certain routes, such as those with a predominantly urban feel, I'll appreciate having it more than an A2 bike, which might frustrate me somewhat. And it will allow me to train as hard as I can for the plateau. 01/06/2025 13:22 Rating : 5/5 Respond to AVM22
