presentation of the 125 CRM 1996
a more "road-going" version of the CR cross-country model, the CRM no longer resembles it as it once did. This old identity is still present in the overall appearance, suggested by the large suspension and singular pot. The bike is easy to ride over rough terrain. Sound and stable, it nevertheless suffers from an unsuccessful engine clutch. Anemic up to 8,000 rpm, the mill then wakes up abruptly. Not great, especially if you're taking this little adventurer into town. Frustrating, all the more so as the machine is pleasant to ride.

At top speed (140km/h with a carbon ninja), you can feel the vibrations in the pneumatics (at the same time, she's not made for top speed, and she kicks ass in terms of acceleration!!! I burn a tuono o dépar arrété ^^)
The only downside is that it plunges dangerously forward under emergency braking. damn fork!!! ^^ and its seat height is surprising, but you soon get used to it!
All in all, QUE DU BONHEUR!!!! Rating : 5/5 Respond to wind13
at last, it's now a cross-country bike, and I'm delighted with it! Rating : 5/5 Respond to nico
