Yamaha YZF-R125 2021
The Yamaha YZF-R125 in the 2019 version makes journalists' lives difficult. You search and search for a fault, but can't find one - simply frustrating! Because the 15 hp single-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVA) performs excellently and is undoubtedly one of the best power units in the 125cc class. The handling is convincing in everyday life as well as on the racetrack, even if the chassis shows its sporty side on bumps. But we are on a super sports bike, so that is not a serious point of criticism. Maybe I need to ride the R125 for a few weeks to find its Achilles heel after all....
Honda PCX 125 2019
The Honda PCX is a typical Honda scooter: quality and workmanship are right, the design looks modern and the compact scooter gets decent acceleration from a standstill from less than 12 hp. Even the most modern technologies are not neglected: the "Idling Stop" system switches off the engine when the scooter is stationary and saves fuel - very little, but the green idea alone is the right step. Only the unharmonious chassis spoils the ride comfort a little, but the luggage compartment comes up trumps again with practical values by swallowing a full-face helmet. The price of just under 3,000 euros in Germany and just over 3,000 euros in Austria is therefore quite acceptable.
