Morbidelli F125 Redefines the Beginner Bike

Morbidelli F125 Redefines the Beginner Bike

The 2025 Morbidelli F125 brings premium features, sharp styling, and real performance to the 125cc class, proving that entry-level no longer means underwhelming.

There was a time when beginner motorcycles were barely more than disposable transport: cheap, underpowered, and uninspiring. That era is over. In 2025, the small-displacement segment has matured, and the Morbidelli F125 stands as a shining example of how much the game has changed.

At first glance, it’s hard to believe the F125 is a 125cc naked bike. Its aggressive lines, modern hardware, and premium finishes make it look like it rolled off the same assembly line as higher-end streetfighters. But it’s not just flash, there’s real substance under the skin.

Morbidelli: A Name Reborn, with Global Ambition

While the Morbidelli name carries serious weight in motorcycle history, remember the V8-powered oddity from the 90s- the 2025 F125 isn’t a nostalgic throwback. Instead, it’s a symbol of evolution. Now operating under QJ Motor’s vast umbrella alongside Benelli and Keeway, Morbidelli is spearheading its rebirth through MBP Moto, an Italian-Chinese fusion brand with design and R&D still anchored in Italy.

The F125 is the first fruit of that relaunch, and it makes a compelling case for small bikes that punch well above their weight.

Performance That Surprises

The F125 houses a liquid-cooled, DOHC 125cc single-cylinder engine. It is capable of producing 14.48 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and 8.51 lb-ft of torque at 8,000 rpm. The numbers push the limits of what’s allowed in Europe’s A1 license tier. The engine feels alive, encouraging riders to wring it out, and it comes paired with a 6-speed transmission and a slipper clutch, a feature rarely seen in this class.

This isn’t just impressive for a beginner bike; it’s unheard of.

Sportbike Hardware, Minus the Price Tag

The chassis is equally noteworthy. Up front sits a 33mm USD fork with 130mm of travel, and the rear is handled by a monoshock on a multilink system. This offers adjustability typically reserved for mid-tier machines. Braking duties are managed by dual disc brakes with ABS. It is 260mm at the front and 220mm at the rear, giving the bike legitimate stopping power.

In terms of geometry and ergonomics, the 795mm seat height strikes a balance between accessibility and command. New riders won’t feel overwhelmed, and taller riders won’t feel cramped.

Design That Makes a Statement

Visually, the F125 borrows heavily from modern streetfighter cues: sharp bodywork, LED lighting, and a hunched, forward-ready stance. It’s not trying to look like a small bike; it’s trying to look like a serious bike, and it succeeds. There’s a strong KTM Duke influence here, and it’s not subtle.

Tech features round out the experience. A digital LCD dash includes a gear indicator, and riders get dual USB ports (Type-A and Type-C), allowing real-world practicality for devices and accessories. These small touches elevate the F125 beyond mere entry-level status.

A Global-First Approach to Motorcycling

In regions with tiered licensing systems, Europe, Asia, and parts of the Middle East, the 125cc segment isn’t just a budget category; it’s a gateway. The F125 acknowledges that and delivers a product that’s both aspirational and accessible. It’s the kind of bike that a 17-year-old in Madrid dreams about, saves for, and remembers forever.

Even in markets like the U.S., where license restrictions are looser, the F125 deserves attention. It proves that the 125 class doesn’t have to feel like a compromise. This is a motorcycle designed to be fun, capable, and confident, not just tolerable.
