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

Honda Forza 125 2021

The new Honda Forza 125 is a clever further development of its predecessor, which did its job very well anyway. The electrically adjustable windshield can now be extended even higher, the traction control HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) is on board as standard and the Euro5 engine is more powerful yet economical. In addition, the automatic start-stop system will save a few litres of fuel in the long run. The engineers have also thought of "little things", a modern USB port replaces the 12-volt plug. The fact that the appearance has been changed only very cautiously speaks for the elegant and at the same time modern design that the predecessor already had.

Powerful engine with well-tuned automatic

reasonable fuel consumption

electric windshield

enormous amount of storage space

plenty of comfort

impeccable brakes

HSTC as standard

easy-to-read instruments.
