Oh! It looked low, which I thought was odd for a BMW.

Almost tempted by this as a downsize instead of waiting on an EV moped.
I recall Brian motoring about on a 125. It has the rack for a top case.
Mind you it's got more mileage than my CB500F

I commuted on a 2011 CBR125R between Mississauga and Scarborough along Cawthra, QEW, Gardiner, DVP, and Eglinton one year. It was great (and dare I say fun), up to about 60 or 80 km/h, but after that the acceleration basically disappears. I think the 13L tank will take you 500 kms if you run it dry. It's achilles heel is the highway, but if you don't plan on trying to do a constant 100 ever, then it's great.
To get up to speed to merge onto the highway from a stop, you literally need to do a quarter mile drag. And then you're basically topped out, depending on your weight, unless you are literally going downhill with the wind at your back and full tuck. On the DVP going uphill with the wind ahead of you, you can sometimes struggle to do even 90. Probably less on this unfaired version.
Sold. Not to me.
FWIW the CBR125R is a different bike than the CB125E. More power and gears
I remember my first bike... 2018 CBR125R. I only kept it for 4 months, but ended up doing a few thousand kms in that time, and IIRC I got it up to 120-125km/h indicated top speed.
Mind you that's laying down on it and hiding behind that tiny little fairing.
I also don't know how optimistic the speedo was.
Lots of memories with this 2013 FZ8 inline 4.
Last before the triples and my kid put many miles riding with me on his, including both coasts.
Factory clear out at the end on the model year ....astonishing deal. $6999. for a bike that was $14k at another dealer. We got the last one.

He had tarted it up for touring with a Shad top case and seat combination that served very well on the long days. Top of the pass outside Yellowstone...was 30 degrees driving the park and still snow at the top.
The drying rack on the topcase proved very useful.
Reviews were very positive on the model saying Yamaha got everything correct. Was sad when he could not ride anymore and had to sell it.
Soooooo glad we took the time to do those trips...
