125cc to put in motorhome garage

[andyb28]

I am thinking of getting a 125cc bike that fits in the garage of my motorhome.

The garage is high and long, but the door is only 1 metre wide. The main issue is it is quite high and I will need to ramp or lift the bike into the garage. Also, as it's the other side of the axel, weight is an issue for that too.

I have considered the following

Honda Wave - not very cool
Suzuki Van Van - Kinda cool, but used by girls a lot
Monkey Bike - I can not decide if this is cool or stupid looking
DT125 - super cool, always wanted one of these when I was younger, but I dont think the handlebars will fit through the door.

Anyone have any others worth throwing in the mix?

What you want is a Honda MSX125. Fantastic bike. It's great fun, good on fuel, small and good value. It happily keeps up with other 125s.

Ah, I found a picture of one of those the other day and couldn't figure out what it was. They are indeed cool little bikes. They weigh 101kg, so only a bit over what we were looking at.

Surprisingly decent looking for a 125. Would imagine the bar width *may* be an issue if a DT's are too wide.

Honda Grom?

They are very light. I often lift the bank end up to pivot it down the side of my house. There's lots of mods too if you fancy getting lower bars, etc. They are a good size. Not as stupidly small as a monkey bike but not as big and cumbersome as the DT125. I would think it's perfect for your application.

Has to be a Honda MSX125 for sure

Grom is the Honda MSX125. It is rebranded as a grom elsewhere in the world.

yeah, I was just slow responding

In case it hasn't been mentioned, MSX125. I seriously want one just for the sake of having one. £83 a month is cheap enough.

fit an Akrapovic exhaust and save 2.4kg!

A bit left field - how about an MSX125?

[ka90]

I love mine. Despite bigger things in the garage, I keep taking the grom.
I paid £1500 and get 125mpg. Replacements parts are cheap and servicing is easy. I've put 8,000 miles on the bike now.

KTM EXC 125. Perhaps a bit wild but certainly more cred than the ones mentioned. Probably need a full licence though. For something a bit different but still road legal. The Gas Gas Radonne or Beta Alp. The GasGas could be a bit rare as they have just gone into Liquidation.

Well, I think the MSX is the answer.

Just spoken to my local Honda dealer and am going down to take a look.
