The MadAss 125 shares the minimalist philosophy of its smaller sibling. Fuel is carried in the frame, so a bulky fuel tank is not required and the twin seat sits on a single tube running from the bike’s spine, so no rear sub frame is required. The result is an incredibly light machine, weighing just 209 lbs.

As you would expect from Sachs, there is no compromise when it comes to quality components. Reliable stopping power is delivered by a 260mm front hydraulic disc brake, backed up by a 215mm hydraulic unit at the rear. The beefy rear mono-shock absorber has hydraulic damping and adjustable pre-load, so suspension can be tailored to suit the rider. Twin stacked headlights provide plenty of illumination as well as giving the front end an aggressive ‘streetfighter’ appearance. Power is provided by a reliable 4-stroke engine, which can be started at the push of a button. A cool oval silencer, fitted with a catalytic converter, takes care of emissions.
