The 125cc segment, pretty much non-existent in the US market, is incredibly popular in Europe, as a lot of European countries have licensing regulations that mandate beginner riders to start on small-displacement machines. It’s in this segment that a lot of manufacturers try to entice first-timers to swing a leg over their first motorcycle.
At EICMA 2023, Fantic, a boutique Italian motorcycle company, showcased what it has to offer in the beginner segment. Known for its potent enduro and motocross bikes, as well as the Caballero series of single-cylinder motorcycles, Fantic extends its reach to the entry-level segment with two sporty models: the Stealth 125 and the Imola Concept.
