Overview

Introducing the 2009 Kuba Superlight 125, a unique entry in the touring motorcycle segment designed for riders who appreciate a blend of style, comfort, and efficiency. With its sleek lines and lightweight construction, the Superlight 125 stands out as an accessible option for those seeking to enjoy longer rides without the commitment of larger, more complex machines. Perfect for beginners or seasoned riders looking for a reliable companion for city commutes and weekend getaways, the Superlight 125 offers a delightful ride experience without breaking the bank. At the heart of the Superlight 125 is its peppy single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, boasting a displacement of 124cc. This compact powerhouse delivers a respectable 9.38 horsepower at a spirited 9100 RPM and a torque of 8.40 Nm at 6000 RPM, making it nimble enough for city navigation while providing confidence on open roads. With a compression ratio of 9.0:1 and air cooling, the engine strikes a great balance between performance and efficiency, achieving an impressive fuel consumption of just 2.20 liters per 100 kilometers. Paired with a 5-speed gearbox, riders can easily find the right gear for every situation, whether it's cruising down the highway or weaving through urban traffic. The Superlight 125 is designed with the touring enthusiast in mind, featuring a comfortable riding position and a well-thought-out chassis. With a weight of only 134 kg, the motorcycle remains agile and easy to handle, while its dimensions—2,260 mm in length and 1,025 mm in height—provide a stable yet maneuverable ride. The front single disc brake, complemented by an expanding rear drum brake, offers adequate stopping power for confident riding. Additionally, the bike supports both electric and kick starting, ensuring that you’re always ready to roll. Available in stylish grey and black, the Superlight 125 combines aesthetics with functionality, making it a great choice for riders who want to stand out. **

Pros

  • Fuel Efficiency: With a remarkable 45.5 km/l (106.92 mpg), the Superlight 125 is easy on the wallet, making it ideal for long rides or daily commutes.
  • Lightweight and Maneuverable: Weighing just 134 kg, the bike is easy to handle, perfect for new riders and those navigating congested urban areas.
  • Dual Starting Options: The convenience of both electric and kick start options provides peace of mind, ensuring a hassle-free start every time.

Cons

  • Limited Power: With only 9.38 HP, the Superlight 125 may feel underpowered for riders seeking high-speed performance or aggressive acceleration.
  • Basic Braking System: The combination of a single disc front brake and a drum rear brake may not provide the high-performance stopping power desired by more experienced riders.
  • Small Fuel Capacity: While the fuel efficiency is commendable, the 15-liter tank may require more frequent stops on longer journeys compared to larger touring bikes.
