Yamaha MT-125 2016

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.

With generous standard equipment, a retuned engine and unmistakably edgy KTM design, the 1290 Super Duke GT aims to enter the sport touring segment. With rideable performance and the full power of the naked bike in the spirit of the "Ready-to-Race" credo, it stands out from the competition not only visually. The mattighofen sports fanatics even fit heated grips and cruise control to offer frequent riders a nice spot. Somehow they still manage to remain credible and to trigger storms of enthusiasm in the rider.
