Reaction on social media included surprise at the abrupt end of production, and Tokyo dealers have reported a rush of last-chance buyers.

Looking at the spec sheet, it's fascinating that the R125 and MT-125 share the same 124cc engine while only the R15 got 155cc. At 517,000 yen for the R125 and 495,000 yen for the MT-125, honestly it stings to see models this well built disappear. It's a lineup cleanup, but this one got my pulse racing.

The MT-125 was unbeatable as a local runabout, sad to lose it — what do I even buy now.

517,000 yen for the R125 — that price-to-displacement ratio might just not come back.

Feels like they're just clearing stock and calling it rush demand.

I don't even have the license yet but I was eyeing the MT-125 — already discontinued?

The R125 and R15 were both solid entry bikes — guess it's just the times.
