The word from the UK importer for Peugeot Motorcycles;
Peugeot have introduced a highly specified and stylish new 125cc motorcycle that is designed to appeal to the growing numbers of young learner riders, (the UK’s best-selling bike in 2005 was a 125cc learner-legal machine).
The new XPS CT125 is a full-sized motorcycle that takes its styling cues from motocross machines but is built to handle the rigours of the urban jungle. Most people associate the French manufacturer with cars and scooters, but Peugeot built their first motorcycle over 100 years ago.
The CT125 combines the looks of a modern motocross bike with road tyres and follows in the French tradition of Supermotos. With their light weight and wide bars, supermotos are ideally suited to novice riders as they are easy to handle, particularly on congested urban streets.
This stunning motorcycle has a specification that is just as impressive as its looks. A reliable Yamaha-derived 125cc 4-stroke engine, housed in a modern alloy beam frame, powers the CT125. The front forks are 36mm diameter Paioli items, holding a 19″ front wheel with powerful 240mm disc brake for reassuring stopping power.
At the rear is a Paioli mono shock that holds a 17″ wheel and 200mm disc brake. Overall weight is an easily manageable 104 KG and the fuel tank has a 7L capacity (1 ½ gallons) - plenty for such a frugal engine. A rev counter nestles behind the bikini front fairing to complete its sporting looks.
The Peugeot XPS CT125 sells for £2,599 OTR in Metal Black and Blue Star colour schemes. A 2-year warranty is included for peace of mind.
