2016 · Naked bike
The 2016 AJS TN 12 represents a practical entry into the naked bike segment, offering a no-frills approach for new riders and commuters alike. As part of AJS's lineage of accessible motorcycles, the TN 12 aimed to provide a reliable and economical option in the competitive 125cc class. In its direct market, it found itself competing with models such as the Honda CB125F and the Yamaha YS125, all vying for riders seeking an affordable and manageable two-wheeled experience.
At its heart, the 2016 AJS TN 12 is powered by a 124.00 ccm (7.57 cubic inches) balance shaft engine, designed for smooth operation and efficiency. This powerplant generates a respectable 10.19 HP (7.4 kW) at 9500 RPM, providing sufficient power for urban environments and gentle cruising. With a top speed of 90.1 km/h (56.0 mph), it’s well-suited for navigating traffic and keeping up with suburban flows. Fuel capacity is generous at 18.00 litres (4.76 gallons), promising a substantial range between fill-ups, a definite plus for daily commuters.
Weighing in at 153.0 kg (337.3 pounds), the TN 12 offers a stable and reassuring feel without being overly cumbersome, making it easy to maneuver at low speeds and in tight spaces. The seat height, at 820 mm (32.3 inches) at its lowest adjustable setting, caters to a broad range of riders, promoting an upright stance characteristic of naked bikes. This ergonomic setup, combined with a comfortable handlebar position, contributes to a relaxed riding posture, reducing fatigue on longer journeys. The lack of extensive fairings also means less weight and a direct connection to the road.
The 2016 AJS TN 12 is primarily aimed at new riders, those upgrading from scooters, or individuals seeking an economical and dependable commuter. Its straightforward mechanics and manageable power output make it an ideal learning platform, while its low running costs and decent fuel range appeal to budget-conscious users. While it may not offer the aggressive styling or cutting-edge features of some rivals, its honest approach to motorcycling makes it a solid, unpretentious choice for everyday transportation.
