  Review: Lexmoto Enigma 125 (productReview)
  on the Enigma. You could also add a top box to boost its carrying capacity, though the underseat storage bin is more than big enough to cope with a full-face helmet and it’s easy to access this space underneath the flip-up seat. Sling a leg through the central section of the Enigma and the riding

  Review: Peugeot Django 125 2017 (productReview)
  , a dual seat, a front luggage carrier and a windscreen, but there’s also a Sport, with number graphics and a pared-back look, an S with a single seat and matt black paint and a Heritage, with more muted, pastel colours.   If you pick a two-seat version and your licence permits, then you could carry

  Review: Honda CMX 500 Rebel 2017 (productReview)
  . The cruiser-style design means the seat is extremely low, which is great for short riders or those unfamiliar with the additional heft of a full-sized bike, since you can easily get both feet flat on the ground. In traffic jams that’s extremely handy and will help build confidence if you’re used to a little

  Review: Honda Forza 125 2017 (productReview)
  be, plus the Forza's bulk means other road users notice it and treat it like a big bike. The ignition system is keyless, as is the locking system for the under-seat storage. As long as you have the key in your pocket you can open the storage compartments and start the bike up – and a nice side

  Review: Suzuki SV650 2017 (productReview)
  speed a touch when letting out the clutch, reducing the chances of stalling when pulling away. That means the SV650 is really easy to ride in stop-start city traffic too – helped further by a nice low seat height, narrow tank and upright riding position. Even shorter riders shouldn’t find

  Review: Honda CB500X 2016 (productReview)
  . The seat height of 810mm is, for an adventure-styled bike, quite low. That’s good news if the 500X is your first big bike, since it’s easier to get both feet down, which helps if you’re getting used to the heft of something heavier and bulkier than a 125cc learner bike. The CB500X carries its weight nice

  Review: Kawasaki W800 (productReview)
  in its design and geometry, which suits the W800’s purpose and rider demographic. This endows it with a decently low seat height that makes getting your feet on the ground is easy, which matters when the bike tips the scales at 221kg. For those with an A2 licence, the W800 is an unthreatening bike

  Review: Suzuki GSX-R125 (productReview)
  to. The riding position is sporty, as you'd expect, and the bike feels small and easy to flick around with our knees tucked in - which suits us well. However, we're 5'7", so you might find yourself feeling slightly cramped on the bike if you're tall. The seat is hard, which isn't a problem if you ride for short

  Review: Aprilia SX125 (productReview)
  . The rear end is equally spongy in feel as you climb onto the Aprilia. However, the average fast food-nourished teen rider will soon take the squish out of the suspension so they don’t have to worry about the 880mm seat height officially claimed by Aprilia. Our test rider is not that generously long

  Review: Ducati Monster 797 (productReview)
  for it. Helping to make the ride so intuitive is the seating position. It’s less aggressive than larger-engined Monster models and works in this bike’s favour given the sort of rider who will be attracted to it. Urban commuters, weekend funsters and those recently graduated to their first big bike will all

  Review: Honda X-ADV (productReview)
  . This is needed as the DCT gearbox cannot be left in gear to prevent the Honda rolling away. The feet-forward riding position is common to maxi-scooters and works well on this Honda, especially with the large and adjustable screen to keep wind blast at bay. However, it’s a shame the seat cushion

  Review: Suzuki Address 110 2016 (productReview)
  to think of a more painless way to go about it. It’s not exactly scintillating or on trend – and it’s down 15cc on most learner-legal bikes – but it’s fuss-free and that’s part of its charm. The step-through design makes getting on and off very easy, plus there’s a low and fairly narrow seat

  Review: BMW R Nine T Urban G/S (productReview)
  owe more to the 1987 R100 GS – note the lack of any hyphenation. Then again, let’s not get bogged down in semantics when discussing such an interesting motorcycle. And the G/S is a very intriguing machine. Essentially an R NineT Scrambler with a different seat, exhaust and front fairing, it’s

  Review: Honda PCX 125 (productReview)
  . Step through and on to the PCX, you’ll find the generous seat is thickly padded and Honda has now removed the backrest to free up more space for rider and pillion. There’s enough room in this scooter’s riding position for all-day comfort, which is just as well as it can cover long distances with ease

  Review: Yamaha YS125 (productReview)
  it for fun. This is down to the way it handles in corners and on roundabouts, where the 18-inch tyres offer plenty of grip allied to a fuss-free ride. Together, they make for easy commuting and are helped along by a very tight turning circle, low seat height and decent brakes, though ABS is absent
• Review: Honda Vision 110 (productReview)
  risking a loss of paint or face. As with the 50cc Vision, the riding position is good, you have a flat foot board that lets you carry bags between your legs and a full-face helmet will just about squeeze below the flip-up seat. If it doesn’t, there are two securing hooks, on either side of the seat

  Review Lexmoto Tempest 125 (productReview)
  for the alternative black painted fuel tank, with silver and yellow stripe - plus a brown seat. It's powered by a single-cylinder motor, which it shares with the Lexmoto ZSX-F, ZSX-R and Michigan. The 9.5PS is more than enough power to get around town and, when you aren't in the urban jungle, this little street bike

  Review: Kawasaki Z250SL 2016 (productReview)
  to think of the Z250SL as a 125 Plus – a small, manageable bike with a bit of extra performance. The seat is fairly high for such a small bike, but most riders will be able to put their feet flat on the ground. The footpegs are high but quite far back while the handlebars are low and reasonably flat

  that have been lowered by 30mm. For anyone considering this bike for commuting, that could spell disaster, but the CB remains very comfortable and the seating position is completely natural in a manner Honda just always gets right
