The seat height of the Rebel is better, but with ~200 kg it's very heavy and it's also very wide since it's a parallel twin.
The CBR125R seems to be interesting, but the CB125F seems more suited for the job as it has a lower seat height as well as lower weight.
And a fuel consumption of only 1,5L/100km or 157 mpg makes it very interesting.
However it is pretty low powered.

Yes, I thought the seat height would be a problem. Any standard style or naked bike is going to have a seat that is too high. Cruisers have a low seats buy higher weight. The Rebel 500 is a twin bu the 300 is a single. However, I see the 300 is not for sale in Germany.
The smallest and lightest motorcycle I know of is the Honda Grom (MSX125). 103 kg and 761mm seat height. They are really popular here in the USA - Honda's best selling motorcycle. The downside is that it is not really a highway capable bike with a top speed of only 95 km/hr
