As someone looking to get into biking, but living in London with no interest in doing long camping trips etc…how would you say this CT125 stands up against say a Grom (MSX) or a Suzuki VanVan. I’ll be mainly pottering around suburbs of London, might ride it into the city (but on avg 40mph motorway and typical congested inner city London roads) with the occasional trip on say a motorway to see friends who live just out of London (1hr away). I was torn between a Grom and VanVan but saw this and now completely confused 😂😂
@EpohDerf
3 ай бұрын
Stirring your own gears with a clutch feels nice and the CT125 doesn't let you do that. I've never tried a grom but would love to. However, if your choices, I reckon the best for rough roads is a van van (get a 200 if you can find one). As for motorway, the CT25 will do it, perhaps even all day but that's not what it is for. If you can try all 3, that's going to be the biggest help in deciding. If you can't, get one rather than deliberating too long. The best bike is the one you're on! If you don't like it, just sell and try the next.
