Macbor Eight Mile 125 LC, the small classic Spanish naked bike, arrives at dealerships with an unbeatable price

The Spanish motorcycle company Macbor continues to establish itself in the small and medium displacement ranges with great success thanks to a concise yet very varied lineup, as we have already seen with the Montana XR1 or the Eight Mile 500, which joined its catalogue just over a year ago. The Eight Mile is precisely inspired by its 125 version, which has recently been renewed and presented at the latest EICMA edition in Milan.

The Macbor Eight Mile 125 LC joined the Spanish brand’s catalogue in 2019, and it has now undergone a thorough renewal to finally reach dealerships, where, incidentally, it will do so at a price that will be very attractive for those starting out in this world and looking for an affordable, quality and, above all, versatile motorcycle, because the Eight Mile 125 LC will not only be your ally in the city but also allow you to venture off the tarmac.

The heart of the new Macbor Eight Mile 125 LC is entirely new: it now features a 124.2 cc single-cylinder engine that is water-cooled and produces 12.47 CV at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 9.6 Nm at 7,500 rpm. Macbor describes this new engine as a unit that stands out for its smooth operation, strong response at low revs and absence of vibration thanks to its excellent balance. In addition, the electronic fuel injection developed by specialist Delphi ensures that this engine will have modest consumption.

This engine is enclosed by a tubular frame to which the rear swingarm is bolted, which features a rear monoshock mounted on a linkage system, while the front axle uses an inverted fork with 38 mm of travel. The chassis continues with CBS combined braking, a plus for less experienced motorcycle riders, with a 298 mm lobed front disc with a three-piston floating caliper and, at the rear axle, a 240 mm brake disc with a single-piston caliper.

The Macbor Eight Mile LC falls within the brand’s “Classic” catalogue, which also includes the Lord Martin 125 and Johnny Be Good 125, so the new Eight Mile could not lack a design with clear retro features. This is reflected in certain nods such as the headlight guard, which by the way uses LED technology both at the front and rear, the seat upholstery with transverse stitching, which sits 731 mm from the ground, the engraved brand logo, or the side number plates with a prominent 8. Other more functional elements blend perfectly with this style, such as the crankcase cover, the radiator side covers, or the rear passenger grab handle.

The new Macbor Eight Mile LC can be ordered in the following colour combinations: red with white details, matt black with silver details (both with black upholstered seats), or white and blue with a dark brown seat. And now pay attention: the 125 cc Eight Mile LC is already available on the Spanish market at a price of just €3,299.
