Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-125 2016
In English there is the so-called 'street cred'. A value that measures respect and coolness on the road. The Yamaha MT-125 has a lot of that, it impresses with its grown-up look, which is heavily reminiscent of its larger model sisters. The handling and seating position are sporty, a streetfighter for the city. This is where the little Japanese bike feels most at home. With its low weight, it weaves through city traffic, and short overland routes are no problem. Only the lack of storage space and the relatively high price depress the generally very positive impression of the A1 bike.
Honda CB125R 2019
The smallest representative of Honda's naked bikes does not need to hide at any time, because at least visually it is hardly inferior to its larger Neo Sports Cafe sisters. Admittedly, the 13.3 hp peak power is not the measure of all things in the 125cc segment, but the Honda can score points for this with a ready-to-ride weight of only 126 kg. The associated playful handling of an A1 motorbike is assured - more beginner-friendly riding is hardly possible! As you would expect from the Japanese manufacturer, the CB125R is amazingly well built for this class of vehicle - bravo!
