Rieju Coaster 125: can you ride this custom with a B license? €4,295 and surprising V2 engine

Yes: the Rieju Coaster 125 can be ridden with a B license with three years' seniority. This short answer comes before we explain the catch (or the smart move): it is not the typical 125 you swap to go to the supermarket.

The Coaster 125 combines cruiser style with an unusual V2 engine and a price of €4,295, but its real strategy is to expand the potential audience (and make the neighbor on the AP-7 look).

Rieju Coaster 125 and the B license issue

Why does this interest the reader?

If you have a B license with three years' seniority, the Coaster 125 opens the door to a custom with the image of a big bike but the management of a 125. This matters because it multiplies access options without needing to get the A1 or A2 license.

How can it be legal with a car license?

The secret is the displacement: 124.7 cc, a figure that fits into the A1 category and, therefore, is compatible with the regulation that allows riding 125 motorcycles with a B license with three years' seniority. It's that simple.

Engine, chassis, and sensations: What makes the Coaster 125 different

What’s under the tank?

A 124.7 cc V-twin engine, liquid-cooled and with 8 valves, delivering 13.6 HP at 10,000 rpm and 10.2 Nm at 9,250 rpm. This setup is unusual in 125s and brings a sound and mechanical personality uncommon in the category.

How does it feel on the road?

The sensation is of a bigger bike: 1,550 mm wheelbase, seat height 690 mm from the ground, and 170 kg dry weight. Altogether it offers a relaxed cruiser posture and handling designed for new users.

Equipment, brakes, and autonomy

What gadgets does it have?

Keyless, LCD screen, Full LED lighting, and USB-A and USB-C ports are part of the equipment. There is also connectivity and alerts such as the warning system (emergency flashers).

Is it safe and practical for everyday use?

Braking with a 300 mm front disc and Nissin dual-piston caliper, ABS, and traction control TCS as standard. Also, the 16-liter tank guarantees longer trips without stopping every fifty minutes (ideal to avoid traffic jams on the N-340).

Transmission and maintenance

Six-speed gearbox and final belt drive, a solution that reduces maintenance tasks compared to a chain and fits the cruiser aesthetic (and for those who don’t want to grease the garage every weekend).

Wheels and suspensions

19" front wheel with 130/60-19 tire and 17" rear with 180/55-17, unusual sizes for a 125 that reinforce the image of a bigger bike. 37 mm fork with 120 mm travel and rear monoshock with 65 mm.

What does this mean for beginners?

It is an attractive option for those who want a custom with style and low maintenance. The low seat and relaxed posture ease the first hours, and the belt minimizes visits to the workshop.

Why does Rieju bet on the V2 in a 125?

To stand out. In a market full of single-cylinders, the V-Twin is a sonic and aesthetic identity card that will draw looks at the ITV entrance and the IKEA parking lot.

Availability starts in September and the announced price is €4,295, a figure that positions the Coaster 125 as an alternative with very good finish and equipment for the segment.

The Rieju Coaster 125 bets on being a different 125: V2, belt, 16 liters, and complete equipment. Do you see it coming? It’s a bike that wants to be seen, and it does everything possible to achieve it.

In summary, the Rieju Coaster 125 combines style and accessibility: it can be ridden with a B license with three years’ seniority and arrives on the market at €4,295 with an unusual mechanical setup that makes it stand out.
