Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z125 2026

Kawasaki Z125 2026

Kawasaki enters the European 125cc world for the first time and, as expected, makes almost no mistakes. Both models are unreservedly suitable for beginners, convince with high build quality and really look the part. The choice for A1 licence holders has thus been expanded by two great options!

Great looks

really capable chassis

cultivated engine with jerk-free response

worry-free handling.

Z with slight space problems for tall people

missing gear indicator

Yamaha XSR125 2026

Yamaha XSR125 2026

The XSR125 may look retro, but it is highly modern. After all, the 125cc engine even has variable valves! This makes it possible to achieve decent riding dynamics, as the handling is also very successful in combination with the comparatively low weight. Yet operation is generally very simple and uncomplicated, which is why even novice riders and beginners are not overwhelmed. The price is also okay, although at first glance it seems quite high compared to the power, but is usually even higher among the competition. The successful retro look alone is definitely worth wanting the XSR125!

Proven and agile engine from the MT-125

pleasantly upright riding position

beautiful retro design

high-quality workmanship

good price-performance ratio

low fuel consumption

very low weight

Front brakes should be a little sharper
