It is my opinion that I will probably never see one. Unfortunately, cool small bikes like that one never seem to make it to North America (especially 2-strokes). Personally, I'd love to have one.

I thought that might be the same as the CBR125R Honda sells in Canada, but when I look at the pics side by side, there are subtle differences. So now I'm really intrigued ...... (like flynrider says, not that it makes a difference for us in the USA).

I think a majority of N.A. riders, not all, but most are recreational riders. Not so much a major form of transportation here. I think that's why you don't see as many riders or small economical bikes.

Sharp looking bike. I would never have guessed it was a 125. Probably alot of fun to ride with ridiculous gas mileage to boot.

Ahhh I so want that bike. But as everyone else said, not in the USA.
I wanted to have it to learn on - I did good with the Ninja 250, but this bike actually looks comparable to the Ninja 250 in many ways. Amazing the hp they get out of that little engine, too - I think it is similar in hp to my Ninja - like 33 or so.

This bike puts out 12 - 18 HP from the British publications.
TWO (Two Wheels Only) state that the bike sells really well and is a reliable learner tool. Rated 4 /5 stars.
There's an increase in ridership in the US but as Americans we want the biggest and baddest. Shame the UK gets the practical while being bad a$$ at the same time. Hell most of their bikes are practical and more fun than our bikes.
