Pros and Cons in comparison
SWM SM 125 R 2018
Fans of 125cc supermotos who place a lot of value on great looks are in the right place with the SWM SM 125 R. The former Husqvarnas shine with pretty details like their red frame and definitely stand out from the crowd at the car park. You have to make concessions when it comes to responsiveness, which makes for high load change reactions in the apex of the bend. On the other hand, the SWM has the best brakes in the A1 supermoto segment, even if the CBS braking system prevents drifts on corner entry.
Yamaha R125 2022
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....
