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

Yamaha R125 2016

Friends of real supersports bikes listen up, because the Yamaha YZF-R125 could be just the right bike for you in the A1 class. The Yamaha focuses entirely on a sporty appearance, which is not only evident in the R6-like look, but can also be felt in the seating position. The load on the wrists is super-sporty and the knee angle is sharp - perhaps too sharp for tall riders. In return, the YZF-R125 rewards not only with a cool appearance, but also with a very potent engine and a confidence-inspiring chassis that invites high cornering speeds.
