Hyosung claims that five years' worth of research and development has gone into this bike, aiming to make it one of the best 125 cruisers on the market. Priced at £3,999 this one has a lot to bring to the table….
Aside from its gorgeous chassis, this cruiser is powered up by the signature V-Twin 125cc engine to provide just the right amount of torque to make every ride sharp and snappy. Its high-performing suspension also makes sharp cornering possible whilst not missing out on that classic cruiser look.
Something I personally love about this one has to be how sleek it looks, the matte black exhaust and hand-crafted seat accentuate this. A whole lot is possible on the Hyosung Aquila GV 125S V-Twin - and yes I know it’s a mouth full, but a good one it is!

6. Mutt FSR 125 | £3,495
2025 Mutt FSR 125
Throwing it right back in number six is this fun, retro yet slightly modernised FSR 125.
Now admiteddly, this option is more of a wildcard on this list, down to it not being a true 'cruiser', however it does offer something a little different hence why we thought it deserved a spot on our list today.
This is a Mutt with a low down gritty yet sporty racer vibe. The main difference with the FSR compared to the other models is the upgraded lightweight 17-inch cast wheels letting you push it to the max.
It has just enough oomph to zip around town or explore those less-trodden routes without feeling defeated. The light, nimble, and exciting ride makes it perfect for a beginner or anyone who loves the thrill of a smaller yet just as mighty machine.
The Mutt FSR 125 sits at £3,495, and for such an unmistakable and reliable bike, It’s going to be worth the investment in the long run!

With hydraulic disc brakes and telescopic front suspension, you’re down for a pretty stable ride but nothing too out of the ordinary and keeping it at a very reasonable price. It’s got the looks so if you’re after that cruiser attitude then it’s up there, and you can get your hands on this one for £2,799.

4. Keeway K-light | £2,399
2025 Keeway K-light
In fourth place on the list, today is the Keeway K-light.
All in all, the K-Light is (as the name suggests) a lightweight and easy-handling cruiser with of course that 50’s and 60’s style to match. Pair that with the low seat and forward footpegs and the K-Light has created that ultimate relaxed feel which ties in with its smooth yet responsive engine for an effortless experience.
It’s also got adjustable rear suspension with a pre-loaded steel spring for a comfy ride, alloy wheels, and hydraulic disc brakes - just enough for a good time but for £2,399 you can’t expect too much in terms of spec and tech.

3. Keeway V Cruise | £4,499
2025 Keeway V Cruise
Rocking up in third place is the Keeway V cruise, with its edgy styling and vigorous V-twin engines, this bike brings the best of both worlds.
When it comes to cruisers this one is 100% a solid contender, the classic cruiser style amongst modern comfort and performance and its smooth low frame makes the longer rides feel like a breeze. Along with its 13.6hp 125cc engine, it delivers just the right amount of power for city commuting or weekend adventures.
Alright, let's talk about the pricing…sitting at £4,499 it does in fact make it the most expensive on the list so far, yet it’s still not going to break the bank when comparing it to some other cruisers out there.

2. Keeway Superlight | £2,399
2025 Keeway Superlight
Just missing out on first place in the list today is the Keeway Superlight, this one has become a popular choice of cruiser in the UK.
Its 4-stroke single-cylinder engine provides a fairly smooth and durable ride that’s still easily controllable. This one, similarly to other models we have mentioned today, does have a CBS braking system telescopic forks and coil spring suspension.
The classic dashboard adds to the cruiser feel but the rest of the bike’s styling steals the show for me with its matte blacked-out rough and ready aesthetic. Coming in at £2,399 it's yet another more affordable option.
2025 Keeway Superlight Pros and Cons
Pros:

This bike is hugely accessible with another low-riding seat making for a comforting ride for all the longer journey commutes, and speaking of it, the 16.5-litre tank goes hand in hand allowing you a nice amount of range to play with for all those commutes.
The fingertip handlebar control and powerful linear braking deliver a comforting riding experience at all points and conditions of your journey. This is yet another good looker with the lightweight diamond cut alloy rims and modern tech throughout, featuring a full LCD display. For the price side of things this one has definetly got some better tech and spec for such a great price point. How could you possibly turn it down?!...
