Very agile engine

very easy handling

low weight

aggressively angular look

powerful brakes

comfortable seating position

throaty sound

extensive and easy-to-read display

Chassis a little soft

Footrests soon drag

partly cheap plastic parts

boring telescopic fork

Yamaha R125 2012

In the course of our 125cc special, we tested the Yamaha YZF-R125 together with "Psycho Philipp" on the kart and supermoto track in Wöllersdorf. This year we were already on the road with Yamaha's eight-litre supersports bike at the Pannoniaring at the Gripparty and were able to convince ourselves that it can even stand up to its full-grown peers. On the miniature ring of the "Actionsracers", the little super sports bike was then really in its element.

Strong brakes

sharp design

smooth engine

branded tyres

Hard seat

no ABS
