Ninja 125 2024 vs R125 2024

In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The Ninja 125 and R125 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the R125 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 5kg less than the Ninja 125, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Ninja 125. Its seat height is 35mm lower than the R125, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the ninja125 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the r125 if you want the alternative brand character.
