CFMOTO 125 Papio Racer Overview

The CFMOTO 125 Papio Racer is an eye-catching mini-bike that combines retro styling with a sporty edge, catering to urban riders who want a blend of fun and flair. With a café-racer-inspired design, it’s compact yet muscular, boasting a unique character that sets it apart from typical entry-level motorcycles. Its color scheme, a bold red, white, and blue, gives it a distinctive throwback aesthetic, and the aggressive stance hints at its sporty potential, especially for beginners or those looking for a stylish runabout for the city.

Powering the 125 Papio Racer is a 125cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that makes around 7.5 kW (10 hp) and 8 Nm of torque. This isn’t a bike built for high speeds, but it provides a punchy response that’s ideal for zipping through city traffic or tackling winding backroads. The engine is mated to a five-speed transmission, delivering smooth shifts and making it accessible to newer riders. Though not particularly powerful, the Papio Racer’s lightweight frame, tipping the scales at just over 100 kg, ensures that it feels agile and responsive.

The bike’s chassis and suspension setup are designed to provide a nimble yet stable ride. Its inverted front fork and rear monoshock offer decent support and comfort on urban roads, while the 12-inch wheels, fitted with grippy tires, enhance its agility and control. Braking is handled by a front and rear disc setup, with ABS as standard in some markets, offering solid stopping power for its weight class. This setup makes the Papio Racer a confident handler, especially in tight city corners and twisty roads.

In terms of tech, the CFMOTO 125 Papio Racer keeps things minimal but functional. It features a digital display with basic readouts like speed, fuel level, and gear indicator, essential for quick glances on the go. LED lighting adds a modern touch while aiding visibility and style. Overall, the Papio Racer offers a unique entry point into CFMOTO’s lineup, perfect for riders who want an affordable, fun, and stylish bike without compromising on the essentials for a smooth city ride.
