Peugeot Citystar 125 Review

Used Buyer Review

The CityStar 125 is Peugeot doing what French brands do best — prioritising comfort and practicality over outright excitement. That big apron up front actually works, keeping wind and rain off your legs better than most rivals at this size. The underseat storage is generous enough for a full-face helmet, which matters daily. Engine is the familiar Chinese-sourced 125 single — smooth enough, but don't expect it to pull hard above 80km/h. It'll cruise motorways technically, but you'll be at full chat doing it. Used examples often show wear on the plastic bodywork — those panels are expensive to replace and hard to source. Check the front suspension carefully; the forks can develop a knock and rebuilds aren't cheap relative to the bike's value. ABS is standard on later models, worth prioritising. Fuel consumption is excellent, easily hitting 35-40km per litre in real use. Honestly, it's a competent urban scooter that punches slightly above its price point used, but parts availability outside France is genuinely frustrating. Budget accordingly.
