125cc bikes on hills?

[Dannz]

I was looking at a few 125cc bikes but I was told they have trouble on hills or on the motorway (esp if the motorway is uphill)
Am I better off looking for a 250cc bike?

Thanks, sorry if this is a newbie question

how heavy are you? And what 125 were you looking at? some 125s will be sweet with a light pilot. but yes, you're probably better off on a 250 if you want to regularly go above 80km/h with hills.

Should be ok.

Should be ok.

You know - it's weird to not have at least 1 photo without the fisheye lens. It looks like th ebike has concertina'd after running up the back of an SUV.

Otherwise - that would certainly be enough ccs for a lighter chap getting about town.

I'm about 70kg's, reckon it'll be ok?

Thanks

Your call. Idd be looking for bigger cubes if you want ride hills and at motorway speeds for any long distance.

Might have a trial ride before I commit to anything.
Thanks a lot everyone.
