Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-125 2020

The Yamaha MT 125 is an elegant yet sporty naked bike that delivers a lot of power, especially in the lower rev range. The upright seating position and good handling round off the MT. The disadvantages, however, are that no LED turn signals have been installed and that you protrude above the speedometer when your upper body is bent forward.

Sporty and comfortable

Good chassis

Versatile

No LED turn signals

sitting position that takes some getting used to with the upper body tilted forwards

BMW G 310 R 2021

Okay, many competitors have disappeared from the BMW G 310 R with more displacement and thus more horsepower. But in the 300cc class, the small R is a really honest naked bike: the engine revs agilely, the handling is lively yet stable, the brakes work satisfactorily and the look is quite convincing with the fat, golden fork and the modern elements.

Engine revs nicely

well-behaved brake

beautiful appearance

pleasant seating position

Less power than the competition
