The Dark Horse of the 125cc Class

Stealthy, sophisticated, and undeniably sporty, the Voge R 125 in Knight Black redefines what a learner-legal naked bike can look like. While the R 125 is known for its premium build quality and big-bike feel, the all-black colourway takes the aggression to a new level. The gloss black bodywork blends seamlessly with the dark engine casing and frame, creating a silhouette that looks far more powerful than its 125cc displacement suggests.

Designed as a direct challenger to the established market leaders, the Voge R 125 doesn't just look the part; it performs. It features a lightweight chassis for razor-sharp handling and a punchy liquid-cooled engine that sits right at the limit of A1 licence regulations. Whether you are a new rider looking for a bike that commands respect or a commuter wanting a stylish, reliable daily runner, the Voge R 125 in Black offers a premium riding experience wrapped in a shadowy, menacing package.

Key Features

• Stealth "Knight Black" Aesthetics: A monochrome black finish covers the tank, tail, and fenders, accented by subtle grey graphics and a distinctive red "R" logo, giving the bike a premium, "dark custom" appearance.

• Full Colour 5-inch TFT Display: Unlike many competitors still using LCDs, the R 125 boasts a crisp, high-tech TFT dashboard with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing for navigation prompts and call notifications.

• Full LED Lighting with Arrow DRLs: The aggressive front face features menacing "Arrow" style Daytime Running Lights and a powerful LED headlight, ensuring you see and are seen, day or night.

• Premium Suspension Setup: Equipped with upside-down (USD) front forks and a central rear monoshock, the bike offers superior stability and cornering confidence usually reserved for larger displacement motorcycles.

• Dual-Channel ABS: Safety is paramount with a Bosch Dual-Channel ABS system, providing controlled stopping power on both the front and rear wheels—a standout feature in this price bracket.

• Sporty "Naked" Ergonomics: The riding position strikes a perfect balance, offering a slight forward lean for sporty control without sacrificing wrist comfort during longer commutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Voge R 125 suitable for tall riders? A: Yes, the Voge R 125 has a "big bike" feel. With a seat height of 795mm and generous tank dimensions, it accommodates taller riders (6ft+) much better than many compact 125cc motorcycles.

Q: Does the black paint scratch easily? A: The Voge R 125 uses high-quality paint with a clear coat finish. However, like all gloss black vehicles, swirl marks can show up if not washed carefully. We recommend using microfibre cloths and quality detailing products to keep the "Knight Black" finish looking like a mirror.

Q: Can I ride this on a CBT / A1 licence? A: Yes. The engine is tuned to exactly 11kW (14.75hp), which is the maximum legal limit for learners in the UK and Europe. It is the most power you are legally allowed to have on a CBT.

Q: Does it have a gear indicator? A: Yes, the 5-inch TFT dashboard clearly displays which gear you are in, which is a massive help for new riders learning to manage a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Q: What is the top speed? A: The Voge R 125 is capable of reaching approximately 70-75 mph (112-120 km/h), making it capable of keeping up with traffic on dual carriageways and faster A-roads.
