The Kawasaki Ninja 125 is a bike that can switch between two identities with ease. On one hand, it can be used as a reliable everyday commuter, offering dependable and consistent performance. On the other hand, when ridden aggressively, the Ninja can truly come alive and transform into a beast. Unfortunately, I am not yet skilled enough to take full advantage of the Ninja's full potential, but I can definitely attest to its reliability as a commuter. The Ninja 125 is not meant to be someone's first bike, as it is better suited to those with more experience and a bigger budget. But for those who are willing to take the plunge, the Ninja 125 can be a thrilling and rewarding experience.
The Hero Splendor Plus is an amazing bike that offers great performance and style. It is very affordable and comes with features like tubeless tyres, integrated braking devices, and a strengthened chassis. It is very efficient for single-person rides or for more than one person. The look of the bike is very exciting, and it looks almost brand new even after 5 years of usage. The servicing for this bike is also very cheap, due to its legendary engine and its additional features.
The advantages of the Hero Splendor Plus are its affordability, its standard design, its tubeless tyres, and its integrated braking devices. The only disadvantage of this bike is that it looks so good that girls always seem to be looking at it. Other than that, there are no disadvantages of this bike.
The Aprilia SXR 160 is an amazing ride. I've been using it for over two months now and I can honestly say that it's a great buy. I'm 5.7 and I feel comfortable while riding it. I don't get tired after long rides on it and the ride quality is amazing.
I've taken it on a few trips and it has been an absolute delight. On average, it gives me 43.8 km/l when I'm alone and 40.3 km/l when I'm with a pillion. Before my first service, it used to give me 35-36 km/l.
It's a head-turner and people always notice it when I'm riding it.
The only negatives I have with this scooter is that after 1500 kms, there was some noise at the tail lamp and a loose screw, but it was sorted out when I took it to the service centre. The fuel indicator sensor also gives wrong readings most of the time. The side stand could also have been angled better.
I wish Aprilia SXR 160 would introduce more accessories for this maxi-scooter.
Overall, I'm in love with the Aprilia SXR 160.
The Z125 Pro is an incredibly fun bike to ride around town. The engine delivers a smooth and predictable power, allowing you to easily zip in and out of traffic and up the steepest grades of San Francisco. The four-speed gearbox helps with throttle control and provides a safe and comfortable ride for newer riders.
The brakes, while modest, are more than adequate for controlling this machine. The 200mm petal-style disc up front with the Nissan two-piston caliper, and the 184mm petal-style disc in the rear, provide adequate stopping power.
However, the Z125 Pro may not be the best option for taller riders. With a seat height of just 30.3 inches, a rider pushing into the 6’ range may find that their knees meet the bars easily. Taller bars and adjustable rear sets may be necessary to make this bike more comfortable for taller riders.
Overall, the Kawasaki Z125 Pro is an impressive machine and a great choice for those looking for a fun and reliable urban commuter. It's small size, smooth power delivery, and adequate braking system make it a great choice for new and experienced riders alike.
